Barry Melrose picks Marian Hossa as his best player from Saturday. Yes, Hossa came off an injury. But seriously, not using bias here, but there were players better than him on Saturday.

Hossa - 2 goals, 1 assist

While,

Jagr - 2 goals, 2 assists
Selanne - 2 goals, 2 assits

2 are better than Hossa.

Stop bashing ESPN.. >_<
They obviously don't give two shets about hockey, but are at least making an effort to make hockey fans happy.

The best players don't always put up the best stats.

Again.
Manti Teo' and Lance Armstrong appeal to a LARGE audience.
Teo' people care to know what happened.
Armstrong, people have WANTED to known what happened for YEARS know.

The general audience does NOT care about hockey.

I watch it late at night when there's nothing else. That's after NHL Tonight.

I watch it when I'm bored.

"Teo' people care to know what happened."

The whole Te'o situation is just dumb and is wasting time in my opinion. Plus, I'm hearing the same facts over and over, which makes it worse. It just shows how ridiculous our mainstream media today is that so many people care about a silly hoax job..

Armstrong, people have WANTED to known what happened for YEARS know."

The Armstrong situation doesn't annoy me as much, but I get why they're covering it.

Is it dumb to you? sure, and hockey is dumb to half the people watching ESPN.
People don't care about hockey, that's all.

Yes, it is..it's a ridiculous hoax job and a stupid mistake by Manti for actually falling for it. Yet they're treating it like somebody died.

And of course, because 85% of America is sucked into the basketball and football mainstream, and don't really care to branch out a bit.

Ddude, oh my god.

People do NOT care about hockey, which is WHY football and basketball are MAINSTREAM SPORTS.
Hockey ONLY appeals to it's small fan base towards EACH team's fan base.
People think hockey is a poor run mess, and a joke.
ESPN is NOT going to show a sport, that hardly ANYONE cares about.

I get people don't care about hockey.

1. Because the NHL and NHLPA were insanely stupid for letting all these lockouts happen.
2. The Miracle on Ice has worn off more than people think.

I just wish the mainstream media would focus on hockey a bit more. It actually IS EXCITING. More than people think.

No, ddude...
The reason people don't care about hockey is neither of those two reasons...
You don't get it...
Americans just flat out don't care about hockey...
There is no explanation, or reason why...

NHL has had too many lockouts. It would be risky for ESPN to start showing hockey, because they may be getting ripped off if there is another lockout. Even soccer is more popular than hockey now in America

Soccer's been more popular than hockey for a couple of years now.

Both of those did have an influence. I'd laugh my ass of if you say they didn't.

-The NHL lockouts lost a LOT of fans due to the stupidity of both sides. All three of them.

-The Miracle on Ice brought a HUGE amount of people and excitement to the USA for hockey. They beat THE #1 TEAM IN THE WORLD AT THE TIME. That's like the USA beating Spain in soccer.

Those two reasons, and that it's obvious more people care about basketball and football. I get your side of the argument. But listen to my side also..

Ddude, what Rune said is true.
No matter what you can do, people won't care about hockey.
It's kind of like soccer, ESPN was pushing soccer to NO END in the past few months, and stopped, because people didn't care about it.

So by your logic Ddude.
When the NBA went into a lockout, how come they didn't lose any interest?

What are you saying? They show one LIVE Premier League game every week, plus an MLS match every week too.

Why should people care about a league that's been locked out and nearly lost it's season for the second time in ten years?
