To be fair, your avatar picture is pretty damning lol.
Yea, lol, I understand that. If I am more of a specific sports team fan than a fan of the sport I am watching, then so be it. There is no crime in that.

Respect, brother. Be true to your school!Yea, lol, I understand that. If I am more of a specific sports team fan than a fan of the sport I am watching, then so be it. There is no crime in that.
Especially considering I know a lot of people that don’t like sports, it’s pretty incredibleWait, 42% of Canadians are watching the finals? That's pretty huge, almost half of the country.

Do you understand how the Stanley Cup is won? The players don’t give two shits about your feelings. Sorry but not sorry. Maybe find a different sport to watch.I know a lot of people who watch it, but usually not the whole game and they watch it because it's hockey and don't care one way, or another who wins. I think some lean towards Edmonton because they want McDavid to win one, but that's mostly it.
I don't think TSN/Sportsnet/NHL realize how much these playoffs have sucked. The games are mostly boring. There's no animosity. There's no big skill plays going on like the NHL wanted.
The network viewership numbers compare like to like. Yes people may have the TV on in the background but there is no reason to believe that is more prevalent this year than in past years.They poll'd people , you're talking about network viewership which can be more inaccurate as alot of their numbers are counted by the TV just being on in the background while people are doing whatever else in their homes.

I like watching hockey in June.nobody likes to watch hockey in june enough said. various factors like own team not in it. going outside with nice weather. other things to do besides sitting and watching a game . end this in may. and start in september like everyone says
Cant speak for all of Canada but here in Van, almost everyone i know through the hockey community ( beer league, coaching, friends etc) are not watching the games at all. They might tune in to Sportcentre at the end of the night to see the score and highlights but thats about it. Summer weather is here with plenty of things to do and its hard to convince people to watch a game that their team is not playing in.
I spent the week in Vancouver for a work trip and while the weather was okay (too cold for me having lived in Florida for a decade and was grey and rainy one of the days) I can tell the city doesn’t care about any team but the Nucks. I tried to find Panthers and Oilers gear I as support both but only found Nucks gear. My sports obsessed co-workers didn’t seem to care about the SCFs either.This is more or less why Vancouver continues to be described as a "fair weather sports market". Literally and figuratively.
