Quote from: Powerslave
damn right they need to get rid of smaller markets. one of the reasons hockey is so boring to the average viewer is that the talent pool is so diluted with AHL level players the game has to be slowed down with clutch and grab style for them to keep up. i was actually hoping the lockout would squeeze out a few franchises, why the hell should florida have 2 teams?!?

as far as crosby goes, i think he has to land on a team with a big market, and ya dont get much bigger than the rangers. i mean, if i was crosby, why would i want to play in nashville or columbus where there are no fans or interest? the best thing for the league i think would be to have crosby in a place where he could get the maximum exposure to fans.

oh, and i think they\'re doing tag up offsides and are gonna try to call more holding, we\'ll see how that works out.

I agree with everything said here. The Rangers need some excitement in the Garden and that will be the place to get TV attention etc.

I don\'t think I have ever seen an NHL game (live or on tv), though I did enjoy the one college hockey game I attended.

Tag up offsides just means when players go into the zone offsides, they can "tag up" by all leaving the zone and then going back in after the puck. they way it is now they have to wait for the puck to come out of the zone. aint gonna make much difference. i guess they\'re gonna try to put more teams in the playoffs too, 20 up from 16. it\'s gonna be like special ed musical chairs, everybody\'s a winner. on the brighter side, the draft is not gonna be televised, the fix is on! exxxxcellent!

Hockey: a sport that requires skill and talent and an attention span of more than one minute, played on ice.

I understand that it requires skill and talent. Attention span, meh. I just can\'t understand why people sit in an ice box and watch it.

Like the playoffs need to last longer. Are we going to have hockey 12 months a year now?
