Lv-Bills Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Again... People will channel hunt for the hockey game... Not so much bobsled and ice dancing. The wife wants to watch ice dancing... She will put it on channel 5 (knowing that is where the Olympics are)... Say I put it on channel five and find hockey. She won't watch that... She will just assume ice dancing was not being shown. Now, if I put it on channel 5 and find ice dancing... I will hunt for that friggan game! It is all about "hunters" and "gathers." There were a ton of casual fans here in the "south" that watched the Canada - Swiss game the other night because it created drama and theatre. I've never heard anyone talk hockey here before other than when Crosby and Ovechkin met in the playoffs last year. There are a couple of events in the Olympics that could provide great theatre (although I think the US has no chance), and this is one of them. This is Canada's game, at Canada, and they are playing the US. NBC televises hockey in the regular season, and there is no other way to better promote the game than a legit all star tourney featuring teams that actually play hard and display their talent. NBC panders to the woman every week, and they get their ass kicked nightly in the ratings. Maybe, this would help a struggling rating pick it up a little bit more other than when just Crosby and Ovechkin are going against each other. I hope the game goes into a shootout tonight, and people miss it, just so NBC loses. Now, pardon me while I watch Russia and the Czechs on our HD NBC station. I'll channel surf tonight, as you are correct, as the US plays somwehere on the dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv-Bills Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 And oh my what this thread has turned in to. I swear to god, I just wanted to punch an NBC exec in the face, not to turn this into a moronic political discussion. Seriously, doesn't just one person want to punch someone at NBC in the face cuz of this? Just one of you spazzes out there? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 There shouldn't be shootouts in playoff or Olympic hockey... That is just flat crazy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just as easy for you to miraculously create HD for a channel that isn't in HD on Direct TV? Can you do that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 hey name caller!.. it IS about politics!..

evilbuffalobob Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Right. This is about politics. Jackass. I was scrolling down to say ''F.ing Liberals,'' of course, then I see your queer-arse droid-thinking comment. NBC and MSNBC are Liberal scrounge hounds ruining our country. Accept it. The truth is that it takes a Carter to get a Reagan. Meanwhile, we wait. I'd like to knock Keith Olberman's teeth out. No, no no, break his jaw. Who cares about hockey... I rather beat-up a democrap.

KD in CA Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 lol @ dwight I thought he was kind of obvious for a troll, but he got a 3 page thread out of it. While the USA - Canada game gets relegated to MSNBC tonight in non HD. As far as the hockey schedule, a non-medal game is going to get bumped to the secondary station for prime time figure skating every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares anyway. Hockey is a niche sport. Now especially with shootouts in games that matter... The game is even worse and more of a joke. IE: See soccer.

uforesircher Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Right. This is about politics. Jackass. if you think that anything connected with pmsnbc is not all about the liberal agenda and liberal politics - then you should re-consider who the jackass really is.

Because ESPN'ers wouldn't actually believe that the NHL is outdrawing the NBA in attendance, but indeed it's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murra Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Dude, what about our apostrophe lesson?? Let's try it again: WRONG: Sarah Palin should sue her elementary school and many of the community college's she flunked out of for providing her limited educational opportunitie's. RIGHT: Go Bills! You know, I was really enjoying this one dude make an a$$ out of himself, and then everyone also laughing at him, but you ruined it. You're just too dumb, and think that you need to combat him with your actual political beliefs, which in short revealed to us that you actually think that a political figure needs an ivy league degree to represent you.

Why does America seem to think that if Sportscenter doesn't cover it extensively, it's either not popular or just a niche sport. The real joke is on dudes who can't make decisions themselves on which sport to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
