Gotta say, I love seeing Pred and Panther fans with back to back posts on a Chiefs board regarding the NHL. It just shows how underrated the NHL is on the national scale.
Hell, ESPN has it listed behind soccer on their banner. While it's always been NFL, NBA and MLB, ESPN always wants to put a barrier between the NHL and the other major sports. (Soccer. Golf, NASCAR, etc...)
It's treated as though it was a shitty sport with no fans. I don't get it and I don't get why the major networks don't jump on board, other than the fact that 7 of the 30 teams are based out of Canada. Is that the problem?
I watched a bit of Texas vs. Oklahoma College ball this morning with no rooting interest, and I thought if any NHL game had that type of production or hype it'd be sweeping the nation.
To this day I can't understand how the NHL hasn't taken over the MLB and NBA. It's a better product.
