NHL Playoffs


Can anybody even name who is still in the NHL playoffs?

Shows how important a regular broadcast TV contract is to professional sports.

Without exposure...most people dont gravitiate to the entertainment/sport.

Wow...not even a nibble on this one...but Fuzzy or Woo might have weighed in...they are hockey fans...


But Milwaukee isnt an NHL city, so we dont more than scores on the news.

We do have an AHL team, and a good one but we dont have NHL so not alot of interest.

same here- I bet its cool to see live, and I went to a couple of Admirals games as a kid, but the last hocky game I tried to watch on tv was probably the '94 all-star game. they were going to introduce this glowing puck so it'd be easier to see on tv (sort of like what the nfl on Fox does with the yard markers.) But that gimmick worked pretty bad, and I remember feeling myself age as I sat there watching men on skates go round and round and round. Don't think I made it to the 2nd half before nodding out on the couch....

The games are more fun in person. Admiral games are probably the best value in town for our sport dollar...We do have the NCAA Champion Badgers...both the men's and the women's teams won championships this year.

All I know is that Edmonton and Anaheim are playing against each other. Edmonton booted Detroit out first round. But they deserved to win that. Detroit can't expect to win hockey if they are only figure-skating!
