NBCSN is in 80 million homes. ESPN is in 93 million. The difference is not that huge.

It’s retard logic anyways. Anyone who was going to go to the watch party will probably now go to a bar, where the ratings won’t be properly reflected either.

The crazy thing here only somewhere around 4,000–5,000 of the 5.5 million people that live in the Tampa Bay Area are members of Nielsen households that determine the ratings, meaning that 99.9% (literally) of the Tampa Bay population who have nothing to do with the ratings can’t go to a watch party because NBC wants…

*still crying*

This is really all that needs to be said.

“Few people seem to care about our sport. What’s the move here?”

When people call the NHL a Mom and Pop league I didn’t realize it was because they’re not letting us go out with our friends on school nights.

Oh, so when La Russa squeezes into a booth unannounced, he’s “defending the truth.” But when I do it, I’m “drunk” and “not welcome in this IHOP anymore.”

Walked away from the obvious counter of “Yeah, but in 2 hours I won’t be.”

SCUBA is a poor example since the phrase has been understood as a word, rather than an acronym at least since the 1950's TV show “Sea Hunt.” The style advocated by Joshua is also a lot more formal than the way Gawker websites typically write. Still the guy has a point. Gawker sites use much less familiar acronyms,…

If any of you are questioning whether this is safe for a baby, I am confident Zyla would tell us she died doing what she loved when she gains the power to speak in the next 2-3 years.

Searching for it...

The problem was with Sullivan trying to find a reason to reinsert Fleury into the lineup. He was viewing Murray as the hot backup instead of THE guy.

This is one of the classic goalie issues that come up in the NHL but its still surprsing to me that the Pens gave MAF another big contract instead of trying to find a way to leverage him into cheaper goaltending. Now, with a NMC (which means he likely wont be able to be exposed to an expansion draft) and a limited…

Myself and every other Penguins fan I have seen on another forum was aghast at Sully’s switch to MAF for game 5. While it seemed like the sensible move on paper after game 4, it was anything but. The Pens suffered a total defensive breakdown in game 4 over the first two periods, and their offense didn’t seem to…

This isn’t soccer, the offsides rule in hockey is pretty much black and white. If Doruin was offsides, it’s not a legal goal as the play should have been blown dead.

I was entirely wrong when I wrote after Game 5 that the switch to Marc-Andre Fleury was irrevocable.

WHHIIIIRRRRRRRRRRR WHIRRRRR WHIRRR

But it’s completely fair to allow a guy to kick an opponent in the nuts (repeatedly) without consequence? Yes, he got fined 25K but he made about 15 million this last year (less than 1 percent of his salary). Fair is suspending a guy for trying to cause bodily harm his opponent.
