I think the main thing is kids don't grow up playing hockey in the US, like other sports.

I agree though, the only thing the NHL lacks that Americans love is lots of scoring, but everything else is there... fast paced, physical, etc. And it does great at the gate, showing people do love it once they give it a chance.


I think it's great though.... Sunday Ticket for 16 weeks is what, $150, $200+? NBA League Pass is $200... GameCenter is $120 this year for one of the longest seasons in sports (and is better quality than espn3). Far fewer commercials than other sports... no commercials in OT, even for full 20 minute overtimes in the playoffs. And even those who rarely watch it say it has the best playoffs of any sport.

It's the best kept secret in sports and I hope it stays that way.

We have a good variety of fans on here, very good to see! A few seasons ago before the last lockout we had a Chiefs Planet Fantasy league that had 10-12 teams of CP members.
