And Columbus is #1 in goals, yet everyone only talks about Bobrovsky. Regarding no star power, last I checked, it's still a TEAM game.
How would you feel about a Wild/Jackets SCF?

There are a LOT of Browns fans looking for anything positive to root for...
though i just realized I could've said Vikings, too.

I would be ok with it.
It would give me an early start on my golf game as I wouldn't be watching the finals.

The only problem with that is Ohio's proximity to the Penguins, Red Wings, and Blackhawks. There are a lot of hockey fans in Ohio who couldn't care less about the Jackets (although I'm guessing they would still tune in for the novelty value).

It's ironic to see so much antipathy from people who most likely consider themselves to be "die hard" hockey fans. If that's your opinion, well alright... But you better not have held it against anyone when they didn't tune in for your Oilers against the Hurricanes.
The Twin Cities are nearly twice the size of Pittsburgh, and have some of the deepest hockey roots in the US, and yet somehow Pittsburgh is a a big market and we aren't.

After the negative and downright silly comments on this thread, I really hope it is a Wild/Blue Jackets final.

Nevermind the fact that we've produced more NHLers than any other state by a huge margin.
11.5 Million, actually, Lee... Or, about the same population as Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Saskatchewan combined.
Ohio is the 7th most populous state in the United States. Illinois and Texas are the only states with more residents and only one NHL team.

I don't think it being a good or bad final depends on who plays. It depends on if the games are close and we see a lot of exciting final minutes, with possibly overtime and a game 7 where both teams have a chance to win.
In 2014, the Kings and Rangers played, the 2 biggest markets in the US. Was it exciting? I don't think for the neutral fan it was any more exciting than the 2004 final or the 2006 final

Good news is that Gaborik's groin should be healed if they make it to the finals.
Think it would be great, nit good for rating but if they play in the finals like they are at the moment, would make for a great finals.

Another way to put it - Ohio is almost as big as Ontario, directly south of it, and is also cold as ****. You'd think people would clue in about the potential - instead you get "green acres" and "sunbelt" comments.
If they live in Ohio and aren't a Jackets fan yet, I'd bet it has something to do with the team being brutal for 15 years. Send the team to the finals and things start changing.

Pittsburgh couldn't fill half their arena when they didn't have Mario or Crosby leading the show.
There's a lot more hockey fans in Minnesota and Ohio than there are in those places.
