The fact that the playoffs are fucking soft and lame as hell doesn't help either.

NHL, take a little longer in starting the finals. There hasn't been a game in almost a week, it's almost June....a lot of people will lose interest. Do they have any idea how to market their sport, their stars, run their league?????? Way to F*ck it up, Bettman. Go Red Sox.

No, No, and No!

Go Ducks!!! Since Canucks or Flyers are nowhere to be found. What will I do after the NHL season is over? Guess I have not choice, but to watch yet another Sox/Yankees game on TV.

Then get the MLB Extra Innings cable package.

PS-Welcome aboard

I came close to getting the extra inning package. But the wife talked me out of it. I can watch about every Mariners game on TV here. So that will have to do.
Thanks for the welcome. You will see alot of me in this section... As long as there is hockey talk. For that matter, I just got back from my game and got a shutout. So what I only faced 12 shots.

Ouch! Ass whoopin!
Congrats to the Ducks!

Who wudda figure a SoCal team would win the cup... WOO HOO!!! Ducks rule, baby!!

NBC had the lowest rating for a prime time show EVER for Game 3. Bettman has to get the axe, the NHL is in big trouble.

I agree...boot his ass. Maybe Don Cherry should be commish?

That would make for huge publicity. I second that notion. NHL is dying in the US.

At least the ducks have the cup and i win a case of beer for it! woot woot

Get rid of the instigator rule. That would alow the enforcers to do there job. The more fights, the more viewers would tune in.

I agree with you, but keep in mind the lack of fights in the NFL and NBA hasnt hurt them on the ratings. The US needs fights to watch the NHL? i guess...

The thing that I can't stand? They wanted to speed the game up by cracking down on hooking and holding, there's a friggin penalty every 5 minutes which slows the game down a hell of a lot more! The dump and chase, let the goalies come out so that teams can't dump the puck in every time they come down, it's the weakest play in sports.
