    When do the Finals start?  Mid-June?  I figure the NBA probably need 2 weeks rest.  Those boys gotta be tired leisurely jogging back and forth 90 feet.

    See you at the Stanley Cup! Where real men play a tough sport.
    Is the Stanley Cup finals being televised this year?0
    Yes in fact Game 1 was on one of the major networks while the NBA was on a rinky dink cable channel.  Game 1 was also far more entertaining to watch than game 7 of Houston-Golden State.  and you know how much I love basketball Juggler but watching a team miss 27 straight 3s is not entertaining.  27 straight.  im old and fat and could go out on an nba court and make 1 out of 27.  
    Yet with the fact that the NHL was on a major network and the NBA was on rinky dink TNT, the overnight ratings for the Rockets/Warriors was a 10.3 and the overnight for Caps/Vegas was a whopping 3.72.

    So the NBA drew nearly triple the viewers when on rinky dink cable and the NHL on major network TV.

    So this is why they are opting for American Ninja Warrior tonight
    Because Trump nation will watch American Ninja Warriors more than hockey and the local affiliates hate having hockey lead into local news because of the possibility of overtime.  

    why wasn't the NBA on ABC?

    American Ninja Warrior, Ultimate Warrior, Golden State Warriors, Patty Smyth's "The Warrior"... doesn't matter, hockey is still better.

    Hockey is terrible to watch on TV, but awesome in person. I couldn't stand hockey until I went to a game. Even when NBC tried that whole highlight/colored puck thing, still dull.

    NBA is the exact opposite. Way better on TV than at the game, unless your courtside.


    Basketball isn't bad in person at all. Football might be a better example of something that is more opposite.

    Trump Nation? This just started last year? Yeah, I don't know man. Wasn't hockey on some nature channel a few years ago.

    All NBA Finals games are on ABC. TNT isn't really rinky dinky either. The Final Four was on TNT and drew way more than what the Stanley Cup Finals draws.


    Doesn't matter who is president, hockey has always been an after thought compared to the top 3 sports in this country.

    Football (the NFL at least) is terrible both in person and on tv.  Talk about inactivity.  College is at least exciting unless you're watching one of those SEC Battle-of-the-Field-Goals 9-6 games.

    Never said it wasn't.  you asked the original question about hockey being on tv and i answered that it was on a major network.  not my fault you didn't realize that.

    yeah, talk about rinky dink....

    nope, wrong again.  this NBC sports national sports channel which has weekly NHL games on.  It's the NBC equivalent of FS1.

    Seems like a channel that should be broadcasting A10 games or something instead of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    NBA Playoff games on TruTV... talk about rinky dink.  Isn't that a channel where they show court cases and shit?  Maybe next year they can upgrade to Cartoon Network.

    If the hockey game sucked, it would have drawn a 1.69 and if the basketball game was good it would have drawn a 16.9.

    NBA playoffs not on TruTV ( don't early round NHL games air on CNBC, and used to air on MSNBC?)
    Some NCAA tourney games air on TruTV.

    The farmers' report on pork bellies was due, so CNBC dumped game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals off to Golf Channel while doing analysis of how bacon (as in a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich) prices would be affected.

    I was going to say, I am very confident in saying that Shark Tank reruns probably get better numbers than the hockey games.

    You guys can have fun watching the same boring ass snoozefest called the NBA Finals year after year on whatever channel you so desire.  I'll watch the fast-paced, hard-hitting excitement of the Stanley Cup!  The most coveted & desired trophy in all of sports, save for maybe an Olympic Gold Medal.

    And after it's all said and done, no matter what happens in either series, and no matter what channel they're broadcasted on, and no matter how many viewers either gets, Jordan will still be the greatest basketball player of all-time! =)
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,582
    Can a trophy that only hockey fans care about really be considered the most coveted in all of sports?

    Game 1 Stanley Cup got more viewers (5.2 million) than a regular Sunday Night new Shark Tank has gotten this past year (average 4.1 million).  Maybe regular season games get less.  And I would have thought game 7 GS-Houston would have gotten more than 3x what the NHL got.
