aflac9262 211 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 WOW! Bettman suggests that the fans of the Red Wings might not like going to the east because we might miss the "rivalries in the west." Specifically he said "Colorado." Does he not know it's dead? This guy pays no attention to his own league apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 Buttman just said that the Wings will probably be in the West for a while. He says we, the fans, would miss the rivalries. Then the radio host said that the Motreal and Toronto rivalries would come back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jwo 7 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) Id would rather have them try to partner with NBC. Show night games on USA channel and Day games on NBC during the weekends. Plus NHL commercials can be played during primetime on NBC when alot of Americans are watching. Edited March 9, 2007 by Jwo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you twice, actually, because I was upset i missed this. No problem. Bettman's ignorance must be exposed I still cannot believe he thinks Wings fans would rather see Colorado more than facing Toronto five or six times a season.

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) sounds like another case of Bettman either being totally clueless or insulting the fans' intelligence with his bald-faced lies. Colorado rivalry??? Yeah, because how could Detroit possibly develop any rivalries against Original Six teams like Toronto? Detroit will stay in the west because it's one of the more popular franchises and needs to stay in a Conference that doesn't have as many popular teams.

joshy207 156 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 Without actually having heard the interview, I think Bettman's point regarding Versus is this: The NHL is pretty much the biggest thing on that network, and they treat it as such. You see commercials on other channels promoting NHL games on Versus. On ESPN, the NHL would have been behind at least 10 other sports and would not have been given the same promotional consideration from the network. I don't think Bettman is saying "Versus is better than ESPN". But, as out-of-touch as he is, maybe he was saying that... either way, on Versus, the NHL is a big fish in a small pond. With ESPN, they'd be that same size fish in an ocean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
