Nuxfanabroad Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yeah..sorry, little-to-no-interest. Watched a few highlights(DTMTS.com game highlights). Just can't give a hoot about tilts down there. Anyone relate? Makes me wonder what the viewing numbers will show at season's end? Betting a huge % of revenue comes from the 7 Cdn markets(higher than usual). Yet of course, 3 decades with no freeken Cup celebrations, eh? Btw, got the NHL.com pkg, with all teams available. Really only use it for Van games, & a few other Cdn tilts, if there's time to spare. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilac Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I have not watched a US game either and I live in Seattle. I was tempted in watching a Bruins game and I forgot. I’m only into watching the Habs and Canucks play, but I did watch an Oilers-Flames game. I’m looking forward to when the Habs play against the Bruins again. I’m not a Bruins fan, and I always loved it when the Habs beat the Bruins! I do like it when they beat the Leafs too. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) I try to catch a few Caps and Avs games because I enjoy watching their stars. I still support anyone who's playing Boston as well. Edited February 13, 2021 by King Heffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highest rated game in Canada was Canucks Oilers with 6m plus viewers. With the exception of few U.S markets, not too many people care about the hockey, it’s been like that forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whaleroad Train Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I've watched a couple of Detroit games, just to see how Stecher is getting on, but that's it. I still hold to my policy of missing the first minute of any U.S. game, so as to avoid all the horrible renditions of the Star Spangled Banner that the Americans insist on singing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just watching scoreboards and stats for hockey pool. It doesn’t seem really relevant otherwise. maybe a key matchup here or there if I’m bored. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flames games are even more egregious due to Cahlgary insisting on allowing an inbred redneck to insult our country by desecrating our anthem before every game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhukini Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Kinda opposite. I prefer good hockey which is why I can’t wait for the first round of the playoffs regardless of who’s in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 This is a Historic season for Canada. I only follow fantasy stats for the US teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) In fairness I don't really watch US games that often in the regular season under normal circumstances.Outside the Canucks I really only tune in for marquee matchups. Its not that I don't love hockey, I do. But I only have so much time in the day and watching other people play a game when I don't feel particularly invested in the outcome often feels like wasting it. I'd rather go down to a local rink and watch a couple of junior B teams play live than sit on my couch and watch Nashville and Carolina play thousands of kms away.

Nuxfanabroad Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) & heck, as far as broadcasts go...is HNIC a dead(or dying) non-entity? Saw this question/thread rolled out, over on the HF(NHL general) page, & think it's a darn good one. There are mod-warnings NOT to make the topic political, over there, & guess it's merely time before such squeamish-touchiness spreads all over the bluddy net, like the bubonic plague in a mosh pit... Turn the sound off on games now, occasionally missing Juice, as I'm so averse to the myriad host of assorted social-issues, I have NO interest delving into. Some geniuses at the top of this quasi-moralistic pyramid of conduct, apparently think pro sport is an EXCELLENT platform to announce our priorities, & denounce the wayward scoundrels that don't smooch up to such gospel-wisdom. Have the bread & circuses been infected with signals of virtue? Inquirin' minds wanna' know... Edited March 2, 2021 by Nuxfanabroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
