WWE is already PG, just like the NHL has become. The NHL is only enjoyable if you want to watch large goalies with oversized pads swallowing every shot. The hitting, fighting, and bad blood that the sport was once known for isn't there anymore. Scoring isn't what is used to be. It's very sad.

I haven't heard that one before. Blame the lawyers.
-
How long before they ban fighting in the NHL altogether? Two years? Five years?
-
These teams met twice in the last week and the NHL did not nationally televise either game. Why? You've got the face of the league and the future face of the league. McDavid doesn't play on TV a lot in the US, because he plays for a team located near the North Pole. This was a perfect opportunity to show some of his games. This league is just dumb.

Do they have a Mikael Samuelsson shot chart from 2008?

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of his best season and playoff in the league. -
If dating counts as hanging out, then he does.

Aren't there more teams and better attendance than there used to be in the NHL?

Except, someone like Gretzky was well known in the US in the 80's, even among niche fans or non-fans. Of course, he was destroying records and winning MVP awards every year, but playing in Edmonton in a league that had had basically no teams south of St. Louis didn't stop him from being generally known. Bottom line is the league needs to take advantage of opportunities to showcase a young star like McDavid.

I disagree. ESPN is laying people off and are losing viewers because of their political stance. Ten years ago, they held a monopoly on sports in this country. Not anymore. We now have Fox Sports, NBC Sports, and other channels that broadcast sporting events. ESPN is not what it used to be. The only thing I miss about hockey on ESPN, was hearing Gary Thorne calling games and of course that awesome theme song they used to play.

That's a Catch-22. If the league is too lazy to market McDavid and make the "he plays in Alberta" excuse, then how is he ever going to become popular? Also, sports broadcasting has evolved since the 80's. You can now watch English and German soccer league games here in the US. If they showed lots of Oilers games (at least when they play against teams in the Eastern and Central time zone), it would help market McDavid.

Almost as funny as what's happened to the Packers' season.

Any chance we can play this team in the Finals?

Back when America briefly liked the Russians.

From now on, we need to park the bus and play for penalties every game. -

No guarantee with the lottery. This isn't the NFL. -

Amazing they only have 1 point, in a league where the loser point is so easy to get. -

We've got this. The Wings are awesome in overtime. -

That part is fine as both baseball teams play in Chicago. However, naming a team after an entire state makes no sense when they're not the only team in the state. -

How can they be called the "Florida" Panthers, when there's another team in Florida? I never understood that. Just like the Texas Rangers or the California Angels former name. -

Too bad Fedor is washed up. -
Atta boy, Abdelkader. Good to see him getting minutes that Sergei Fedorov would have dreamed of.

If we're just looking at salary, this team should have the best record in the league. Doesn't it work that way? -
That's because the Wings are the only team that didn't party hard in Vegas the day of the game.
