RangerBoy said:What is wrong with the deuce?The same people who produced the NHL on ESPN produced the NHL on ESPN2 which is located near ESPN on most cable and satellite systems.OLN has fewer subscribers.OLN is starting to remind me of the failed NHL on Sportschannel America experiment in the early 1990's

Claypool said:actually you're right. If hockey ever became as popular in the states as it is in Canada, not only would the NHL be in US cities only, but the entire league would consist of US players. I' not sure why there are Canadians who want the NHL to succeed in the US.

I believe he is using sarcasm...I hope it was anyways.DAebi1 said:How do you figure that? Canadians still will have great players, regardless of how popular the game got here...
That's about the way I feel.Fire Sather said:I could care less about ratings. I love hockey, we all love hockey and if other people don't, screw them.
