The Rest of the NHL

[rjs246]

I was in Boston last night and watched the first two periods. Wasn't interesting enough to comment on at all.

i saw the highlights on SC

they were even boring

[BigEd76]

Watched the first 2 minutes and the last 2 minutes, so I win.  The best part of the game was the Canadian crowd singing in unison for half the anthem

but but hockey is better than basketball!?!?!

Edmonton's Gilbert Brule had a fun day.  Driving down the road with his girl and their dog, and...oh hey, that's Bono hitchhiking

btw, best game 1 ratings since 1999 and 14% higher than last year [/Todd]

The Red Sox were off yesterday.

[MDS]

yea that has nothing to do with this

did last years game go up against basketball? because for the life of me i cant figure out how a boston/vancover game out rated a philly/chicago game.

it makes no sense.

[Rome]

If only we knew someone with access to media resources and professional expertise to research this for us.

[MDS]

actually i would love to do that for a living--cover sports media--but since i dont and since im just some guy in his underwear watching tennis before work im gonna go ahead and tell you to look it up yourself.

Last year's game 1 was on a Saturday (the same night as Doc's perfect game), so that's gotta be it

[Munson]

Wait what? I could have sworn doc's perfect game was during the Boston series....

[Don Ho]

No, it was game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.  I remember it well.
