[Bounces R Way]

why not

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Just like the title.

Why?

You are mistaken—the title is not commenting on hockey.

 

[Bocephus86]

Because he's awesome and a national treasure.

 

[SniperHF]

It's called cross-promotion.

 

[Svencouver]

Because Charles Barkley is more popular than the entire sport of hockey

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Because he's a Hockey fan and brings much needed personality to a panel that doesn't have any?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Just like the title.

Why?

He's a big TNT personality. People tune in to say what he says.

 

[End of Line]

Because he’s Charles f***ing Barkley?

 

[tabness]

The NHL is a fourth rate league and requires other sports personalities to help sell the league because nobody knows or cares who hockey's personalities are.

 

[zombie kopitar]

Charles is legit helping grow the game with his support as much as any superstar player, also he's literally just the best and that was more entertaining than any hockey halftime show all year

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Just like the title.

Why?

Why do you think? It's not too hard to figure out.

 

[End of Line]

I think I’ve figured it out, the OP is either from San Antonio or Galveston

 

[Dirty Dan]

because tnt pays him, might as well use him

 

[Bocephus86]

I think I’ve figured it out, the OP is either from San Antonio or Galveston

OP loves those big ol' women.

 

[hamzarocks]

B/c NHL promised for every $100 he brings, he gets 1 churro

 

[SenzZen]

Keeps him off the golf course.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Just like the title.

Why?

Because this is Sir Chuck's world, and you merely rent your precious few seconds here from the Round Mound o' Rebound. Plus, Skeletor owes him $5 large.

 

[K Fleur]

Barkley has been bigging up how exciting the NHL playoffs are for years.

Dude is a fan and awesome.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

The NHL is a fourth rate league and requires other sports personalities to help sell the league because nobody knows or cares who hockey's personalities are.

Plus they have a timer at the bottom of the screen reminding casuals that there will be another period of hockey soon. Bet the sponsor love that feature.

 

[SullivanT]

Probably trying to get more Americans watching

 

[SenzZen]

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

I’d assume it’s because they’re paying him. Can’t really think of any other explanation.

 

[I am Canadian]

Why do you make useless threads?

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I'm just glad he didn't guarantee a Panthers win
