    I am 90% sure that at least part of an NHL playoff game was on the Golf Channel over the past couple weeks.
    Your right. Apparently there was a scheduling conflict with CNBC and USA
    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.
    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.

    Okay, so Shark Tank gets similar numbers.

    Can a trophy that only hockey fans care about really be considered the most coveted in all of sports?
    no the World Cup is the most coveted.  But that just goes to show you 100 million Europeans and Central Americans can be wrong :lol:

    Just read through it. That is crazy. Maybe it is a new disease though. One where rich white guys who are president can't control how they use Twitter.

    I thought the same. who the fuck cares about nielsen ratings or what network something is on?

    it’s common knowledge the NHL is #4 in american sports. big deal. that doesn’t mean it’s not awesome.

    I will watch “the finals” (so pretentious) and the hockey. the hockey has a way better chance of being compelling.

    don't really care for either team at this point, getting boring.  Guess i'm rooting for Golden State.  I think Lebron will get too tired, they might win a game or two though.
    Would you be bored if it was the 76ers in the 4th straight Final?> =)
    probably not but if it was against the same team for four straight finasl, possibly :wink:

    I heard a great argument from Isaiah Thomas about coaches and Jordan.

    It was a good point too.

    "Who's teaching Lebron?  Look at all the coaches that I had and Jordan had.  They are all in the HOF from HS to college to the NBA.  Who has Lebron had?"

    I will wait for someone to comment back that "Lebron chooses the coach", go ahead, I'll wait...

    Well....does he not choose the coach? And the players for that matter?

    Either way, Spoelstra is considered one of the best in the league....

    Spoelstra is a very good coach, so he has had that opportunity.

    But, yes, he basically runs the show in Cleveland and the last few head coaches have just been figureheads for the most part.

     I'd love to see him jump ship after this finals and go play for a team like the Spurs, under Pop or another great coach (Stevens - but that will never happen). As great as this season has been, I'd love to see him play in a great system that will complement his skillset even more.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    Refs might have given game 1 to the Warriors there by overturning that offensive foul call on Durant

    It took what should have been an offensive foul overturned and J.R. Smith's mental mistake for the Warriors to win game 1

    Not an offensive foul.  He was clearly moving and shoulder was leaning-in.

    Not an nba fan, but have watched the conference finals and last night.  Have been very impressed...

    Until that review.  Awful.  Sports need to launch video reviews and challenges into the sun.  It ruined/marred the game
