jkrdevil Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Well, I would like my devils to have a few more games so I can watch them more down here in Florida. However it's not that bad, much better than ESPN where every game featured the Red Wings, Avs or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 WHERE ARE THE LEAFS????????!!!!!!!!!! Canadian, man.That's not unusual for the Canadian teams to have little or no inclusion in the U.S. coverage. But I too am puzzled at no Leafs.

BCBoy Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm looking forward to see what OLN and NBC bring to the table coverage wise.NHL on NBC? NHL on OLN? Never woulda thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I guess we'll have to wait until the playoffs to see Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheateater Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I think I know the answer to this question, but is the OLN in the States different/separate from the OLN/Outdoor Life Network up here in Canada?I'm just curious. I'd love to see 4 extra Kings games since TSN isn't likely to show them too much. But I digress...

Gordie Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 This is just dumb. 3 teams without 1 GAME! What do you care, dumbass?That's a schedule for nationally broadcast games in the U.S.The broadcasters want to air the games that will appeal to the largest audience, so they show games between two American teams, divisional rivals if possible.It's unlikely that Toronto or Ottawa will make the schedule in the States because they're in a division where 3 of the 5 teams are Canadian. Maybe if Buffalo got more coverage, you'd see a Leafs game against them. One of the Habs games is against the Bruins, and the other is an original 6 matchup versus the Rangers.Between CBC and TSN, the Leafs will be broadcast nationally in Canada over 35 times. Add regional and local broadcasts to that total, and there'll probably be over 70 games televised, if not just about all of them.The Senators are on even more, because they get some additional coverage on RDS, the francophone version of TSN.

FirearmofMutiny Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 They're certainly doing a better job than NBC did with the NBA. Remember when the "Game of the Week" was whoever the Lakers were playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs13 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Well, I was just thinking that there were?no wrong word?are more LEAFS fans in the US than Habs, Flames, or Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Well, I was just thinking that there were?no wrong word?are more LEAFS fans in the US than Habs, Flames, or Canucks. But still there are more Phoenix Coyotes or Nashville Predators fans in the states then Leafs fans. Get over it NBC will show what will get them the best ratings and Canadian teams wont get many viewers in Nashville or LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Well, I was just thinking that there were?no wrong word?are more LEAFS fans in the US than Habs, Flames, or Canucks. But you have to look at who those teams are playing. Montreal as mentioned is playing New York and Boston 2 big markets. They are basically showing the game just for the American team, the Canadiens were a non-factor in choosing the game. Remember in the case of OLN the schedule came out before they got the rights. Therefore there were a limited of Monday and Tuesday Games. Next year there will probably be less Canadian teams on the US National telecast. Why? Canadian cities aren't factored into the ratings thus they would get lower ratings then 2 American city teams. They want higher ratings for more advertising revenue.

Sabrejeff Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 This is just dumb. 3 teams without 1 GAME! Considering there were more teams without 1 game in years past on ESPN, how can you not say this is improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs13 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 But still there are more Phoenix Coyotes or Nashville Predators fans in the states then Leafs fans.. That...is probably not true.AttendanceThe Leafs only have the third highest total % in the NHL. While Phoenix and Nashville are somewhere near the bottomThen back a year.Nashville and Phoenix are DEAD LAST in total home attendance. On the road in avg. they're both in the 16,000s. The Leafs are 17,000.Then another year.Phoenix and Nashville are 29 and 26 in total home attendance. On the road in avg. Nashville has 16,213 and Phoenix has 16,777. While the Leafs have 17,377.
