That's exactly why I don't follow it.  Games on the Vs. Channel?  Can't wait till they sign that contract with The Travel Channel.

yea but thats not the point.

what if the first game goes into ot. then no one sees the other. how farging stupid is the nhl. god i dont know how you people follow and support this league. i hope it burns to the ground.

how can you say no one cares about the nhl and never will then call the league stupid for not televising the games properly.....which is it?

you think more than 100 thousand people outside of boston gives a farg about hurricanes bruins?...so why would they change a game date or time for that?

this kind of rationalizing and thinking will not advance your journalistic career.....belee dat

wow you are pathetic sticking up for bettman

it doesnt matter that no one cares about that series. but bettman is directly alienating the diehard hockey fans by putting two game 7's on at the exact same time. and only 1 on tv. the other you have to buy that lame package to get.

it is a total embarassment for a sport that has made itself completely irrelevant with over-expanding and brutal tv deals and arrogantly canceling a season and expected the moron diehards to come back like nothing happened. oh wait, thats what happened.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

the fact they are charging 79bucks for CenterIce just for the playoffs is a joke in itself.  They should make it available for 20 bucks, just to get people to watch

crosby ovechkin could be on the three majors like a friggin presidential address and no one would watch it...so why would you go out of your way to put carolina boston on national tv

the sport was never not irrelevant and will never be accepted in america...bowling outdraws it...its why espn wanted no part of hockey...especially once they got basketball

the one thing they should do more in the playoffs and where boston carolina should have been last night was the nhl network...why they dont use it like the nba uses nba tv is beyond me

but to suggest they should have started an east game at 10pm or whatever youre saying for a handful of fans is retarded beyond belief...the diehards are never going to leave or be alienated thats why they are called die hards...but you already said that in the post above where you contridicted yourself 700 times again

TV scheduling dictates the legitimacy of a sport. Don't you iceholes know anything?

you move one game a day back or start a game at 930 or something. its not that hard.

you cant move the dates of a game two days before its going to be played

arenas have schedules fans with tickets have plans ect

you can TBD game times like the nba does but not move game dates

but even so you really think a carolina hurricane game is worthy of that kind of treatment?

it would attract approximately 8 thousand additional viewers

basically what im saying is it was a total embarrassment for the nhl, who considers themselves and is considered by many, to be a major sports league. do a whole lot of people care that they couldnt watch canes/bruins? no.

but the point was made by doing this and the nhl ought to be ashamed. they are about on the same level as the mls.
