Here's rooting for about a 50-game schedule. Honestly, do the NBA & the NHL need to play anymore than 50-60 regular season games???

Does MLB need more than 120 games?

:dead:

It sucks that the Players are always vilified in these pro sports CBA negotiations.

19 teams in the NHL average 94%+ capacity, with a dozen at 100%+ (will be 20 and 13 this year with Atlanta moving to the Peg).

TV would agree but NHL actually puts a few more butts in the seats. As for which is a better sport... it's no contest. NBA is a joke.

They could end up turning off fans like hockey did. I haven't been as big of hockey fan since the season of the strike, even though my favorite team won the cup, the Chicago Black Hawks.

NHL has picked up more fans than they lost because of the strike. The NBA taking time off will only help the NHL.

Luckily I can pass for an NBA player in public so I'm good in that aspect

I hope the NBA cancels the entire season, and every season until Prince James retires. Anything to keep him from winning a title.

Besides, I won't miss the NBA at all, the only time I watch is the playoffs and even then not so much.

Hopefully more people will watch the vastly superior product that is the NHL as a result.

NHL picked up fans due to the kid that played hockey and left school early, at Shattuck St Mary's High School, in Minnesota.

The NBA is really hurting themselves. They are coming off a recrod setting year correct me if I'm wrong and they are risking a full season because the two sides can't agree on some issues.

IMHO, the NFL could have afford a lockout more than the NBA can. I think the NBA might lose a big number of fans whenever this is settled....similar to the NHL which IMO still is feeling the affects of their lockout years ago.

NBC's telecast of Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final between the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers was the most-watched and highest-rated NHL game in 36 years.

http://penguins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=525443

The Pittsburgh Penguins set a new team record for television ratings with an 8.17 rating on FSN Pittsburgh in 2009-10 – a 17 percent increase over last season’s record rating of 6.98.

The Penguins led all U.S.-based NHL teams in local television ratings.

The Penguins also sold out every game at Mellon Arena for the third straight season. The team’s sellout streak is now at 159 games

Fresh off an outdoor game that drew the highest overnight TV ratings for the sport in almost 13 years, the National Hockey League is headed to another year of record attendance and revenue despite the U.S. recession, the sport's leader said on Thursday.

The Bruins' Stanley Cup-clinching win matched the highest preliminary television rating for a Game 7 on record.

Boston's 4-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday on NBC earned a 5.7 overnight rating and 10 share. That ties the 2003 Game 7 between Anaheim and New Jersey.

Mark Recchi hoisted the Stanley Cup in his final NHL game. (AP Photo)It was up 14 percent from the most recent Game 7 in 2009, featuring two popular U.S. teams, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings.

The 5.7 is the second-best Stanley Cup overnight rating in 37 years, behind only last year's Chicago-Philadelphia Game 6, which drew a 5.8/10. It's the highest for a game involving a Canadian team in 38 years.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=417969

The National Hockey League has set an overall attendance record for the fourth consecutive season. Total attendance of 21,475,223 and the per-game average of 17,460 were 1.1% higher than the corresponding record figures of 21,236,255 and 17,265 from 2007-08.
