It's kind of funny that they worry so much about ratings and fail to understand why people tune in.Why do NHL fans cares so damn much about the ratings? It's just reeks of wanting to be loved. I couldn't give a **** and neither should you
"Color guys"??A good start would be to get grumpy Mike Milbury out of the broadcast crew, and start to bring in younger, more enthusiast color guys. There are plenty of good guys out there that don't carry his bias and personal baggage he brings into the games.
also, if the Caps make it, it will be compelling for LOTS of hockey fans to be able to watch the greatest goal scorer in NHL history (yes, haters, that will be his legacy ... get used to it) finally get to play for the Stanley Cup.
I have a wonderful idea. Keep it away from the NBA finals. Start the season 2 weeks later or drag out the season 2 weeks.
Yup- if the NHL really wanted to maximize it's ratings, it'd do exactly this
But the NHL isn't exactly the most brilliantly run sports league
I think they should START the season 2 weeks earlier. No reason there should be any hockey on after US Memorial Day- especially when you have southern cities and you run into potential bad ice problems.
2 weeks earlier still leads you to NBA playoffs. I don't see the point in that.

Because we're making fun of you.I’m not sweating anything.
I posted an observation with data involving 3 teams.
Seems the remaining Vegas “fans” we the ones sweating the fact that they might not draw big numbers.
If you don’t sweat it... why post in this thread?
Because we're making fun of you.
For a host of reasons, but primarily because nobody cares if you watch. We will anyway - because it's the Cup!!!
I didn't catch the game last night. What were ratings?
Caps/Bolts ratings have been higher than Pens/Sens last year and Knights/Jets were better than Preds/Ducks last year.I didn't catch the game last night. What were ratings?
