Hockey selling more tickets than NBA

[elocomotive]

Or pushing four guys in the league down our throats every damn day. There are good stories everywhere. I would much rather hear about some longshot's path to the NHL than another story about what kind of Pop Tarts Sid likes.

Well now I'm actually kinda curious what Pop Tarts Sid likes...

When we had a minor league team in Baltimore they had some good deals. They had the Baltimore Hat Trick, which was a ticket, a stabbing, and some light sexual assualt for $22.75. Good times.

Announcer: "Hey 'Skipjacks' faaaaaaaaaaaaaaans..... looks like SOMEBODY just got (crowd chants along) diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccckk staaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbed."

Also I think you could upgrade to get a hot dog for $3 more.

Oh, so "grill class" is a real thing. Who knew?

He likes "Deep Fried Butter Tarts", obviously. Just like daddy.

In the NBA a missed layup is called "good defensive pressure"...In hockey a missed shot from inside 5 feet is met with 3 guys either "cross-checking your ass out, a left elbow to the side of your head or a stick hook to the shooting arm"...ALL perfectly legal and acceptable in the crease area.


Gotta love hockey!

It was always cool when the stabbing and sexual assault were combined.

And someone was always quick with the Old Bay® to stop the bleeding. I miss the good old days.

He likes whatever kind Mario's wife is making for the kids that morning.

Two options: take it or leave it.

NHL>>NBA. We all know this already.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

NHL is gaining popularity in the US quickly

OT: Kings are still the team I fear most in the Western Conference come playoffs

I loved the between periods contests where they dragged a locked car in from the garage and if you could break into it and drive it away before the mascot shoots a T-shirt at you, you got to keep it.

Good times.

The NHL should be more popular than the NBA. Over the past decade-plus watching a regular season NBA game is damn near impossible without napping. If more kids had access to play the sport growing up I think it would already be blowing the doors off the NBA.

I'd rather watch womens professional bowling than the NBA. No sport is more fun to see live than hockey.

The annual Harris Poll survey is out, and for the 30th year in a row, Americans named pro football (35 percent) as their favorite sport, with baseball (14 percent) a not-so-close second.
The full results are below, along with historical data, and rounding out the top five are college football (11 percent), auto racing (seven percent), and men's pro basketball (six percent). Hockey is a close sixth, with five percent of Americans naming it as their favorite sport.
Baseball's decline has long been bemoaned, but it's interesting to see how far basketball has fallen from the peak Jordan years. Auto racing too, once hailed as the fastest-growing sport in America, seems to be in decline from its plateau a decade ago. Be sure to scroll through the release for some stereotype fodder on which demographics like—and don't like—certain individual sports.

hockey is static but at least not declining

Football: Still Really Freaking Popular

Colin Cowherd was kind of touching on this subject just now.

Since the outdoor game yesterday started late, it went directly up against the Spurs vs. Heat NBA game as both were shown on non cable /satellite TV.

The NHL game got a 1.6 rating, while the NBA game got a 2.4.

The pre-game for the NFL Pro Bowl did a 3.7

I'm not saying this proves anything or trying to make a point.....just posting the numbers.

I'm surprised that Cowherd would mention anything NHL related, that guy hates hockey.
