TSN could cover paint drying and it would be 100X better than SN

I think I saw that show…. Beige was especially interesting

 

[Channelcat]

I think it's great! And apparently people are watching it.

The actual deadline day is just scraps nowadays. All the major deals done a few days ahead, so it serves little purpose to have an all dayer which mostly consists of talking about what's happened in the past week whilst waiting for a 3rd liner getting dealt for a 4th somewhere. Waste of time really.

Well I would say it is better than watching curling from the night before

I hate when trades happen days before and TSN is showing tennis or curling or some other meh sport. I think they should split screen to trade coverage for the week leading into the TDL

 

[forever1922]

Yeah, really unfortunate that it takes away from the excitement around the sport and a great event. Much more exciting than any all star happening.

I hope NHL implement some sort of trade freeze or perhaps the key is to only allow in-season retention on the deadline day to manufacture the excitement back.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Better than listening to Plug McLean yell about that time he drafted Rick Nash, and Kypreos interrupt everyone to announce that he won a Cup in 1994.

Is it just me or does it feel like this TDL will be even less eventful than usual? Seems like we're not even hearing much in the way of rumbling.

Trades aren't made to entertain the fans. They are serious attempts at improving rosters to compete. The games are the entertainment product. Why the desire to manufacture excitement?

Lots of movement the few days prior

It's always this way, and there's still always some guy who's been here for 11 years who still hasn't figured it out lol

I think part of it is fans thinking GMs know the deadline date and what they need so waiting until the last minute is annoying for fans. I for one am a fan of early trades.. I get the money aspect, but I’d make trades in January and give the team extra time to gel

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

This legit might be the slowest trade deadline week of all time. Two major trades this week and then a bunch of medium to minor trades? Oof.

 

[CanMerc]

I tried watching Sportsnet once and after 10 mins of Kipreos rambling I switched back to TSN

I think this fan in particular wants to force all trades to happen on deadline day for the sake of a televised event

 

[KingsHockey24]

LA what're you doingggggggggg

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

any streams out there?

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Yep. Get yourself a nice adblocker and then hit google with this exact question. We aren't allowed to post anything here, so don't ask further.

What are you talking about? Of course the trades are part of the entertainment.

 

[DFC]

Yeah, which makes it all the more likely this will be an uneventful day

 

[Mrfenn92]

It happens though

Indirectly, sure. I assure you that the teams don't give a shit how many people tune into TSN's televised deadline programming though.

 

[CanMerc]

This ODog belt stuff is the stupid crap they should get rid of

 

[trellaine201]

These shows are so trashy and cringe worthy. So much filler.

 

[thaman8765678]

Every year there are more trades in the few days leading up to deadline, and less on deadline day.

I'm surprised network's haven't dedicated a full week to trade deadline shows.
