What is your interest level right now?

[Merrrlin]

I am a bit shocked by the lack of buzz around the playoffs right now. Perhaps not a great measure but some of the GDTs are as quiet as I’ve seen the hen all playoffs.

Where do you stand?

Football is on now also, didn’t even know the Isles-Bolts game was on this afternoon

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Blue Jays are playing well and NFL is back so hard for me to turn to hockey

 

[LeafGrief]

Trying to watch an hour or two of each game, but not really dedicated to it.

 

[Metroid]

I just want someone to win the cup already because I feel this off season/draft is gonna be crazy Interesting!!

 

[JoVel]

My team is in - 5
My team is out - 0
There's no inbetween.

Reality is setting in that hockey should be starting up tomorrow with training camps. Whereas the season is set to wind down when the 20/21season should have started, and who knows for how long it'll be out for after that.

 

[Allan92]

It's hard because all the games are on at 1am where I'm from and aren't available on the NHL game pass so it's either watch it live or don't watch. The Islanders getting so far hasn't helped my desire to tune into the ECF.

And it's difficult to commit to staying up until 3am for any team but the Rangers. Now that the series are 3-1, forget it.

I'll be actively watching the finals though

Immense interest level. Enjoy it because who knows what happens going forward.

 

[jetsforever]

Somewhere between 2 and 3 - I'm still watching some highlights but not really paying attention game-to-game
Maybe if there's a Game 7 I'll tune in, or maybe when the Finals start

I find the lack of fans is starting to be more apparent the further along it goes. That’s part of the excitement of the playoffs.

 

[zizbuka]

Zero interest in the Western series. Slightly interested in the Eastern series, I'll root for whoever comes out. But, today I watched the Eagles game, then mowed the lawn while the hockey game was on.

 

[Il Stugotz]

The East is entertaining, but it’s hard to watch Vegas. They have the yips.

 

[LarKing]

I'm loving it. As much as I obviously want my Wings to be a good team and make the playoffs, watching the playoffs without them is fun in a very different, stress-free way.

I just love watching hockey in general though. Highly recommend to watch teams other than your own, you'll fall in love with it eventually.

 

[Canadian Game]

I won’t miss a game. We had an abrupt end to sports and went months without games. Who knows if/how long this will last. I’m taking full advantage and enjoying it.

Edit: worth nothing that my team was eliminated in the qualifier round. Despite that, my interest level in the playoffs has remained unchanged.

75% of the votes say otherwise!

 

[Levie]

Sharks fan. 5/5. I'm more interested this year than I was the last time the Sharks missed the playoffs. Maybe it's the lack of sports for so long but it has been fun, I've caught just about every game.

 

[pbgoalie]

I find myself just looking in to see the score or a few minutes of play

I’m glad they’re playing and the league has obviously done a good job with the virus management

but I’m just a passerby this run.
Maybe too many distractions and stress I guess.

 

[theVladiator]

HFboards being quiet just means that the teams with the most loudmouth fanbases have been eliminated.

I am enjoying it.

Both the playoffs and the lack of trolling here.

 

[JT Kreider]

I only care for betting purposes and hoping to see McDonagh win a Cup. Unfortunately I dont think anyone really cares, with what is going on across America.

The Cup winner will get like 24 hours if that of airplay.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Dallas and Vegas have like 5 fans on HF total.

This, Tampa has a relatively small HF base, Vegas is a new team with a small fanbase and Stars fans post on another forum. Quiet fanbases=quiet HF

Okay, but how do you feel?

 

[Hockeyholic]

I doubt there were many American fans who watched their NHL team today over their NFL team. There's probably more buzz in Tampa about the Bucs than Lightning. And the Stars will never come close to the Cowboys in popularity.

Heck, I bet the NFL ratings will be higher in Canada today than the NHL ratings.

I watched the NFL over the NHL. But I'd probably watch an NFL game over game 7 of the Finals. I'm an NFL junkie.

I really only come to this site for stock tips.

Conference finals have been a dud so far

I was definitely more engaged in the first couple of rounds.
