    Johnny, tell him what he's won. :|

    Who me? I had nothing to do with this! :lol:;)

    Habs fans are ridiculous, with still booing Brierre 5 years after he signed with another team as a FA. :roll: Flyers fans perfected the mocking Ole Ole chant. :lol::D

    I'm so sick of the lame-ass "Ref You Suck" chant. Even heard it from Miami Heat fans last night. Flyers fans will do it like 2 minutes after a 5-on-3 power play. :roll:

    Sorry for all the teams who did not move on last night. Congratulations to those who did. :D I hope the hockey is up to the calibre we all hoped for from our teams. :mrgreen:

    :shh: Although my husband is a huge Habs fan...secretly I am happy the Habs are out :oops: ...my time as a hockey widow is over for this year! :lol::lol::lol:
    Lots of love, light and hugs to you all!

    Is it me, or has the NHL surpassed the NBA in popularity? Just look at this thread compared to the NBA thread.

    I cant say I know more than 1-3 fans of the NBA, compared to hundreds of hockey fans.

    Much of the USA, such as the West, couldn't care less about the NHL. but I think the league has made great strides, especially when you look at the latest TV contract, which is somewhat comparable to the NBA's.

    Can you imagine an NBA #1 seed wildly celebrating a first round Game 7 win over a #8 seed? Or a Conference Finals with the 7 & 8 seeds? Yeah right! :lol:

    You wouldn't know it by watching ESPN. According to ESPN, the NHL consists of two teams, the Caps and Pens (at least in regards to the replays during the regular season).

    I'm slowly converting my friends into hockey fans. I sucker them in by playing NHL 11 which teaches them the game. My good friend the other night remarked that three years ago he would have never considered watching hockey but now he loves it.

    I think H.D. TV has helped hockey more then any other sport.

    Don't you need a team in order to have fans?

    I can't even stomach ESPN anymore. I pretty much watch MLB & NHL networks now. And then they've got fucking Barnaby on there - the guy was a horrible player and is almost as bad an analyst. Glad the NHL told them to shove it on the TV contract. They have absolutely no respect for hockey.

    The NFL draft coverage is sickening. Not only are 3 other leagues in full swing, but the league is LOCKED OUT! Who the fuck cares?

    i've been saying that the nhl will become more popular than the nba since the lockout. it's going to happen, and how beautiful the irony will be with bettman running the league

    I can't speak about if the NHl is more popular overall than the NBA but i will say that i believe that hockey fans are much more passionate. I like basketball but in reality if i don't watch a game i don't really care. with the NHL i hate missing games.

    I look at hockey as a sport of outsiders. very much like Pearl jam fans

    overall, the NBA kills the NHL. this forum just happens to have a bunch of clowns that like to blab about hockey.

    I like both. i just wish my teams weren't over lapping on game nights. makes it a pita to watch both.

    agree ('cetp for pita..no idea what that means :? :) )

    and as for the comment that no one cares about hockey out west...it's true, no one goes to games, there's never any sellouts...oh wait that completely untrue :roll:
