What the hell NHL give your damn head a shake....One game tomorrow and it's on at 1 p.m ??? Grow a set and throw the game on in primetime. First you hide from the NBA and now you pull this bullshit. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the NHL constantly soils the bed like this,but it's still pisses me off.

Mostly because I feel sorry for the likely million or so Canadian fans that will turn their t.v on at 7 p.m eastern to watch hockey night in Canada like they have done every Saturday night during the NHL season for their entire bloody lives. But will end up watching some nonsense like "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" reruns instead.

It'll be interesting to see what's on at 7pm tonight . An Old Replay of the past ? Maybe Leafs/Bruins Replay , noo that would be too good .... or cruel lol . Did Habs Rangers meet last year , maybe a Kings/Hawks/Replay of last year . Bring back the Pig & Whistle !! lol ! For me I've enjoyed all the afternoon Bruin games this year , a Bruin Fan Friend of mine comes over every other Saturday Afternoon - Bruin Heaven . The memorabilia Comes Out lol ! But ya , a lot of pissd offf Canadians for Saturdays Hockey Night In Canada !

It's really crazy.  The only thing they would be up against would be Nascar's all star race.  I don't know about this decision by the NHL.  Either way, let's go Rangers!

And this is why the NHL is the 4th sport in the US and they don't give a shit. The league has it's niche of fans and it's content with it. Really freakin weird for the capitalistic society we live in. The league could gain so much more exposure for the parts of the US that nobody gives a rats ass about hockey but they don't give a rats ass so why should fans? Tennis > hockey

Same reason Bs/Habs game two was at 1230.....horse racing. Way more money on the big race in Vegas.

It's not the leagues fault, it is NBC who would rather show a game at 1pm on a Saturday than at 7pm which would be primetime. Not to mention it is a long weekend here in Canada so the ratings here will not even be close to what they would be if it was a night game. I hope to catch some of the 3rd period where as tonight I would be watching the whole game.

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

Do you really think that the NHL wanted to compete with the 4-game slate of WNBA tonight?

I have no problem with the early game... I will be watching... likely on the Habs... then a full slate of MLB... and yes I might just play around with some WNBA later.

Good points guys and thanx for the feedback.


Personally with the final result being what it was I'm glad I slept during most of the game. Woke up at 11 to turn it on. Then dozed off immediately,woke up at 2-0...nodded off again but the horn after the HABS 2-1 goal woke me up. Then back asleep only to wake up shortly after and see 4-1.

After that I gave up and crashed again to wake up to 7 fackin 1 and then heard the 7-2 goal while I was stumbling around and getting my marbles together on my way to the backyard for some quality fun in the sun relaxation time in the ole hammock.


And rather than start a new thread let the rants continue here as we have another brilliant afternoon start again tomorrow

And didn't Fairy Buttman used to work for the NBA ??...maybe he still gets kickbacks by them to keep the NHL on the outer fringes with gutless,brainless,thoughtless,spineless and balless tv scheduling

Being that it was the only game on Saturday, we MUST assume that there was a concert or something previously booked for the evening in Montreal, no? There is no way that anyone wouldn't want it to have been played in Primetime, so one had to assume there was a scheduling conflict. I'm sure the Molson Centre (or whatever it us called now) assumed the HABS wouldn't be playing in the middle if a May so they booked it for other use.
