The only reason they don't talk about it on ESPN is the television contract. There are no games on ESPN for ESPN to promote.
Which is a total blessing.

After the 2002 stike/lockout, whatever it was, I lost idea of where some players were and hadn't truly paid attention to NHL since. I go to a lot of AHL games with my wife's family. Good times usually.
And yea, I hear people in the crowds a lot that haven't been to a game totally confused as to what's going on.
Is that kind of like how Newton was snes?

This is such a mismatch in every way. They better not overhype notre dame next season but they will....
Lake Erie Monsters games for us. Live about 45min from Cleveland.I go to Providence Bruins games whenever I have the chance.
NFL isn't an easy sport to follow either, but it's built for television. Like modern video games it tells you everything you need to know about a thousand times as well.
I'm just joking.Nah just a name change, not an alt.

I tried to get the replay video of this fight for moment after it when Bordie did the discount double check when getting brought off the ice, but they ended up not showing it on the screen.

Funny story. I was flying to Boston when the NHL lockout had ended. When I was in a connection in Toronto, I was watching TSN (canadian ESPN) and they were running 24/7 coverage discussions on lockout ending/season starting. I get to the hotel in Boston, turn on ESPN and they have competitive bowling on :|
ESPN doesn't give a shit about things that don't make them money.
They get a pretty good crowd usually. Only been there once or twice and felt like it was an actual bad turn out.How's attendance? I get tired of refuting people from out of state that say "LOL no one in Ohio likes hockey because Blue Jackets."
ESPN doesn't give a shit about things that don't make them money.
Why places like Nashville have an NHL team and Milwaukee doesn't is beyond me. Kids actually grow up playing hockey in Wisconsin.
Which is a ridiculious stance because consumers care about going to them for all sports news. So they must lose some consumers who want NHL news. I know it's not much in US, but it must be more than competitive bowling fans.

I wish I could get more English Premier League games here, only one or two a week it seems. Never get the best match ups.They also dont give much of a shit about sports America doesn't care about. If it was getting huge ratings and generating lots of interest, ESPN would try to make money off of it. If they talk about hockey on their talk shows or radio programs, the station gets changed. They're not dumb. They're a business.
In terms of attendance they have been very close, even up to this season. NBA has better TV contracts, and better self promotion. I can't find anything pre-2000 in terms of attendance, but I'm pretty sure that the NHL was more popular when the NBA was in a lull from Jordan being gone.
Yup, my high school (SPASH) had a great hockey program. I'm kinda shocked there is no NHL team in WisconsinWhy places like Nashville have an NHL team and Milwaukee doesn't is beyond me. Kids actually grow up playing hockey in Wisconsin.
Someone choose an NHL team for me.

The Flyers. We should have common ground.Someone choose an NHL team for me.
I'd like to see Alabama's Vogler or the upcoming OJ Howard in that kind of role. Tall pass catchers with talent are a premium.

Giroux showed him who the better player was when he dominated him on the ice and off the ice with class.Yes, yes, send him to Crosby's waiting, whiny arms.
