Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: (2) Lightning vs (2) Penguins

[dash]

We need the game to be more accessible to fans. How can we do that? LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF CONNECTIONS THEY CAN HAVE WITH THE TEAM!

Bill Daly: Limiting the number of viewing parties per playoff round is the hill we will die on.

/You said it, Bill.
//Actually, he didn't

How else will those fancy TV ratings look better?

It seems awfully pointless to even take a league stance on watch parties, but it's just so arbitrary to limit it to one per round.

There's a simple solution to that. Easy enough to estimate the crowd, divide by 2, and count that as "households"

David Volek

Lightning Game 7 public viewing party canceled amid declining NHL playoff TV ratings

LOLWUT

Hey, Lightning fans, not enough of you watch the game on your TVs at home, so... ummm... go watch on your TV at home. Screw this fan community bullshit.

Well you know what this means. The league/refs will do anything in their power to get the Penguins into the finals, the last thing they want is a team with declining ratings.

You guys are selling David Volek short, he wasn't that bad. It's not like he was Garry Valk...

Be very happy then. It was not a pleasant night in my household.

The first OT goal against the Caps, brought me out of my chair at work. My coworkers(all Wings fans) looked at me like I was an idiot.
