SouthernJet Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 What a joke. Versus. These clown-asses in NHL take a few bucks more and go to Versus and get zilch exposure. They should have stayed at ESPN and taken the exposure over the few extra bucks. Oh, thats C-SPAN2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike1 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I could care less if other people watch hockey. Versus puts on a much better broadcast then ESPN ever did and for a hockey fan it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Gary Bettman is single-handedly ruining hockey. It's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I could care less if other people watch hockey. Versus puts on a much better broadcast then ESPN ever did and for a hockey fan it's great. possibly true. But if no one watches, it will eventually effect game. They need the ratings numbers more than they need a few extra bucks and a better broadcast that no one sees due to Versus's poor cable presence.

The NHL has had piss poor ratings for a decade and the league isn't going under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECURB Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 How will the bad ratings for hockey effect me? The answer is it won't. Yes it will, it means less money, which means pissed of players and owners, which usually leads to bad things... your crazy if you think a pro sports league doesnt need to be running healthy to be a good product...

#90 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Southern Jet is right on the money! There are a zillion cable stations and the NHL winds up on The Out Door Network, ie;Versus. Pathetic! Now, CNN2? Bettman is a total ass! The product will never grow if no one is watching it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Look at the deals baseball and football have raking in the money- that allows the teams to spend even more to try to improve the product- albeit some spend it better than others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
