GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Only 8 games for the Wings! Are you kidding me? I bet the goddamn flyers and rangers will have twice that many games. What do we have to do, sign Peter Forsberg to get some more airtime? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do we have to do, sign Peter Forsberg to get some more airtime? ESPN broadcasted not too many more Wings games a season. There's also a thing called NHL Center Ice to get our Red Wings fill.

What do we have to do, sign Peter Forsberg to get some more airtime? The Flyers get so many games because they are owned by Comcast, which owns Versus. It's a simultaneous string of events for them.

Guest jaytan Report post Posted August 16, 2007 No West Coast road games. That sucks. I've got to watch just about every game on DVR, on a frickin Monday or Tuesday night. I miss having decent hockey coverage on TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeagueIntegrity 8 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 8 games is most any team is broadcast on VS. NBC, however, is showing 8 Ranger games, as opposed to the 6 starring Detroit. CBC's also jumped on the Rangers bandwagon, airing 7 ranger games while only showing 3 of the Wings. It's sure going to be funny when they get swept in the SCF.

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Bill Patrick It says he has worked the SCF's before, so he might a good choice. Don't know too much about him right now, so I guess I'll have to see what he sounds like in the studio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auxlepli 17 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Kinda surprised Clement is gone. He's much better calling a game, than as an anchor though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) VERSUS SUCKS! I don't have a problem with Versus. They show hockey games, they put a lot of attention to the sport that ESPN/ABC didn't do as much. Annoucing/commentary is secondary to me. As long as they show the games, that's fine with me. They are fine. If the annoucing bothers somebody that much, just hit the damn mute button on your TV. Edited August 16, 2007 by SouthernWingsFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Interesting breakdown. I wonder how it compairs to ratings. Its not going to compare entirely to ratings, but you can bet your ass that theres no mistake that the biggest US hockey markets are at the top. But you also have to take into consideration whose getting play on Versus simply because they are playing against a big name team. Im willing to bet that teams like Phoenix, Columbus, Florida among others are only being featured on Versus because they are playing against one of the top 10 most popular teams in the league and/or the closest thing said team has to a rival.

What do we have to do, sign Peter Forsberg to get some more airtime? To me, 8 games is too much. I can't stand when the Wings play on Versus. I'd much rather have the Center Ice feed. It always sucks being able to watch them on FSN and then once in a while seeing them stuck on that crappy network. Sorry, I've just never been a fan of OLN/Versus since seeing the first game on the network. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akustyk 84 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 hey... don't be jealous about Flyers coverage. in the end, and I mean: come June, we'll see much more Wings games than Flyers games. oh... at least as long as Comcast doesn't start broadcasting amateur golfing BTW: the team distribution is pretty much fine with focus on big market teams. didn't know Dives are still big market but... the Flyers argument above applies here too, so I'm not worried Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
