bigpoppa.k Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Re: what happened to all the hockey fans? i mean jesus. they are polishing the cup to i agree 100%. the fact that the first two games of the finals are on rivals tells you there is a problem. i think the other main issue is the length of the season. network or major cable coverage, drop the season down to fewer games so that each one actually matters and youll be off on the right foot. i honestly think that at this point the only people who watch hockey are people who grew up playing, people who live/lived in a hockey town and canada. that doesnt amount to very much. I don't know about this... Baseball has 162 games while hockey has 82 and Baseball gets major play. I think hockey doesn't market itself properly in the southern states. In all other major sports, the team, the players and the "stars" are marketed the shit out of. Everybody knows who they are, where they play, what position etc.. Not with hockey though. The CBC did interviews just before the first game in Anaheim with peeps on the street to see if they knew who the captain of the ducks was, and nobody knew. not one. They also went through all the major newspapers in the US and the local Anaheim papers and found "ONE" article in all the papers about the stanley cup finals, so media coverage is a huge part too. my $.02..

metronome Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Re: what happened to all the jesus fans? i mean hockey. they're polishing the knob to I can't stand watching basketball for several reasons... such as: -the last 2 minutes of every game ever is cluttered with time outs and stopped clocks, and can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to show with tv commercial breaks and shit... -unless it is a tight game it is insanely boring the same kind of goes for football, but I'd rather watch football anyday over basketball. the only sport I really care about is soccer though. I like hockey too, but not as much as soccer. the Euro cup is coming up pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
