      No one plays Field Hockey but girls.

      It won't catch on in civilized societies until it becomes Beach Field Hockey.

          "Hey, did you hear that American TV ratings for the NHL are very low?"

          "Do you think we'll get another snow storm before the July 1st long weekend?"
          Maybe if they were Newfoundlanders - who, by the way, couldn't give a rats ass about hockey.

          Its actually interesting that no one here is very much into sports, at least not pro ones.

            That's because they're not really Canadian.

            Which is what makes it so fun when we **** them on hydro deals.

            I guess the pogey is their way of getting us back for that, huh?

              I watched some Paintball on ESPN this evening. Then poker came on (had this rookie getting some really lucky hands).

                They've only been a province for the last 50 years.

                But we've got oil here now, and the budget is back in the black. Prospects are very good.

                  I watched paintball on ESPN the other evening. Unfortunately, it's tough to see the balls being fired.

                  Fun for novelty's sake.

                        • Gonna bump this since I've been aware for 2 weeks... but the downslide happened when the NHL decided to just take the money and sign with OLN (which seriously overbid, but Comcast, who owns OLN, is trying to make it into a big time channel) instead of crawling back to ESPN. A more exciting game with ESPN would have done good for the ratings, IMO.

                            Incidently, any numbers on the Finals games on NBC?

                            • If the NHL had to pay ESPN to show the games, it would have been worth it.

                              Most bars put it on ESPN and keep it there, whereas many don't even have OLN. Turning it to OLN requires a special request to the bartender and no objections from the bar patrons.

                              • Sucking up to ESPN certainly isn't the answer. If ESPN wants the sport for those areas where it draws well, they can pay for it and not treat the league like ****.

                                If ESPN want to show poker or beach vollyball, let them. There are other networks that will give the game better treatment.

                                And not being on in a bar in Georgia is not really a loss.

                                Sometimes you need to play hard to get, and not be a slut.
