I didnt say it wasnt doable, because obviously... its being done. I said that its retarded to put your product up against another product that will surely gain more ratings on the same night. Thats calle retardation.

How do you know it wasn't scheduled first? Considering the fact the NHL playoffs, and their finals, got underway before the NBA's?

American fans have just as much "right" to enjoy hockey as Canadian fans. The fact that a large majority of the NHL's revenue comes from American fans too should be noted, since without them the NHL would not exist. Also, just because you think basketball sucks doesn't mean every other hockey fan does. I enjoy hockey a lot more than I enjoy basketball but let's get serious. Prime time television, most people are gonna be tuning in to the NBA finals over the Cup finals. As much as it sucks for hockey fans, hockey is still a niche sport to most Americans. crossrine |

It seems as though you are having trouble comprehending something here. I'm all for americans watching and enjoying Hockey, no matter there location or how hardcore or not they may be. What I do have an issue with is Bettman altering the sport and as a result pissing off the fans that have always been there, and liked the game the way it was, just so that he can try to expand the market, and to appease people who wont necessarily know any better or care that much...to them, Hockey is Hockey. Sadly, he caters to these people and yet they are off and on. New jersey is a prime example of a market that irritates the hell out of me..winning seasons all the time, and close enough to Canada as is, yet they have trouble filling up half their arena. Then you've got the bandwagon of Carolina, raucous during the post season and yet where are they during the season? I could care less if Basketball is on at the same time as Hockey. Bettman needs to stop worrying about that shit, because if people want to watch Hockey, they will. If not, well hey, move on, their loss. |

Actually, it's Bettman's loss. If people aren't watching his game, he doesn't get revenue, and he goes out of business.

I don't necessarily think it will be even, but it will be a closer split than what I originally said, undoubtedly. I suspect a lot of people will simply flick back and forth between the two. crossrine |

Not much you can do when your team doesnt show up until 13 minutes left to go in the third period. Pittsburgh played excellent and with a great sense of emergency

Is that the best you got? Seriously?
Please hang yourself if only Osgood shows up to play in Game 7 like in 6. Because I don't want to see your mental breakdown if that happens. |

Heard a breaking news report that the Pens are making a lineup change for game 7. Gonna dress Scuderi in goal instead of Fleury.

Looking forward to Game 7, really want to see the Penguins pull it out and win it in Detroit. I've liked them for whatever reason in this series but after seeing multiple Red Wings getting destroyed by Penguins players in game 6 has made jump on the bandwagon even more. |

I feel so guilty that I haven't seen a full live playoff game yet this season, now that we're going to a game 7 I think I have no choice but to tune in really.

Regardless of what happens tonight, It has been truely a great series and one Hockey has needed. Just as last year, I wanna stand up for the Pens fans who get misrepresented in all this. Fact of the matter is this Detroit has the experience and the team depth, while the Pens have the younger legs and star power. I say whoever wins tonight will deserve it. No matter what the bickering between the two sets of fans has been I think we can all agree this will be one for the ages tonight.
IMO if Detriot wins the MVP should be either Zetterberg who has been amazing on Defense of Crosby this series or Osgood pretty much kept them in games where the Pens have outplayed them. If Pittsburgh wins I know it won't happen but why not give it to someone like a Jordin Stall or Max Talbot. They have as many big goals this series as Malkin does. Let's Go Pens and lets hope for a great game tonight guys. |
