Yeah, I just saw it over at SportsCenter earlier. Not nearly as much airtime exposure as the other 3 major sports.
Poor Ducks... Paris Hilton got more coverage last night than they did.
Oh it aint the Ducks. Its hockey in general. I would say its the least watched sport in US out of the 4 major ones.
Of course it is. In fact, so much so that it isn't even a major sport.Quote:

Some show about burgers got a higher rating.:happy:
Stupid Ducks... They didn't even deserve to win. lol well they did with their play but im just upset about the fact that their fans don't give two shits about the game. Before the game was over A LOT of people had already left the stadium. I mean come on, your team just won the championship at least stay for a bit of the celebrating. psshh.. :dry:
^^^
oh what a canadian hockey fan wouldnt give for a stanley cup.... :lol:
I can certainly understand your frustrations. Anaheim fans aren't exactly known for passionate fans. ffs, the one time their team got into the World Series, all they could come up with was a fucking rally monkey.
Not to mention that the hockey is in the Sun Belt.Quote:

To say that the MLB draft pales in comparison as far as publicity goes compared to the NFL and NBA drafts is a severe understatement.
My question is, has it always been this way? Or did it just begin in the 90's and onwards.
It's always been that way.Quote:

Werent you talking about hockey? I actually followed the finals for the first time ever. I wasnt much into hockey till this year. I thought the games were pretty good and i feel the better team won.
Anaheim has a great balance of power and talent. I was expecting a little more from the Sens after how great they played in the playoffs. Things really didnt go their way. Maybe next year.
Hockey takes up a very small crescent at the very top of my radar screen.
I've barely noticed it since the strike a while back...
Maybe its just me but I find NHL's regular season the most redundant among the four major sports. What I mean is the fact that teams with the most wins in the regular season dont really get a significant advantage come playoff time. All they get is 1 more home game than the other team and it seems like the venue of an NHL game is too irrelevant at least compared to NBA, NFL and MLB. Maybe I'm wrong but i can recall more instances where the top seeds in NHL playoffs fell to the underdogs than the other 3 sports.
Yeah, but it was mainly sports stuff that's on almost no one's radar.Quote:
