I love Iginla cause he's the 1 top goal scorer than ain't afraid to toss his weight around and get in some scraps

If hockey was marketed better it would be much more popular in America. They were on the right track in the mid 90's I dont know what happened.

The boring ass Devils & their cheating defense trap. The thuggery, holding junk. THEY EXPANDED WAY TOO MUCH! >:( . Cities that didn't deserve teams were getting teams. There were too many ties >:( teams were not playing for the win, just a point. People say that a tie is like kissing your sister, but in the NHL...a tie is more like knocking up your sister, mother, & ugly cousin.

hockey is way too fast for the average american they can't follow the puck. I agree that bettman is a jerk but if people would like the sport it would sell itself. It has some potential ( a lot of great players come out of the universities) but not enough to become a major sport, and it's cool like that. USA got baseball, us canadian got hockey and europeans got soccer its aight

First off...after the lockout...they didn't go back with ESPN...IF you CANT find the games on tv...it wont be getting popular anytime soon.

tractors races and bowling competitions get more attention by the media than the stanley cup finale how do you explain that?

Cuz Gary Bettman said FUCK YOU to ESPN...ESPN is the #1 sports provider in the states.
Like...where the fuck is Versus? Its gotten better...but the NHL needs a deal with ESPN asap...thats how you explain it.

Sorry i didn't know that espn decided what was written in the 2000 major newspaper and journals

Well...how are you suppose to find hockey games on a network thats almost impossible to find? While EVERYONE knows what channel ESPN is...come on man..common sense. Like you could go to a sports bar in the US and there would'nt be one NHL game on any tvs.
BUT the problem is mainly in the southern and western states...where even in the local areas its almost impossible to find the game unless you have some sort of package.

sorry man but the empty seats i could see in the wing's arena at the opening and during the last playoffs didn't change my opinion on your favor. It's called hockey town usa, hard to believe

SO what are you trying to argue buddy? Last year was the first time in a long time that the Red Wings didn't sellout games. You don't think NHL not having a MAJOR TV deal with ESPN doesn't have an effect on that shit?
Anywayz...they should call Minnesota Hockey Town USA now.
-
Anywayz...they should call Minnesota Hockey Town USA now.
Damn right. 8 years of sellout games and counting! Even high school hockey tourneys sellout here.

As long as the NHL stays alive and great players keep coming into the league, I don't mind that hockey isn't as popular as it should be. It's a tougher sport to hop on the bandwagon with because you have to pay attention to what's going on, so you get less jackasses chiming in just because the local team has success. Hockey is one of the best live sports to witness, always a great time.
-
I think the reason it fell from the spotlight, aside from the ESPN thing, is because there are significantly less fights than there used to be. You didn't need to be able to follow the puck when the enforcers were exchanging blows every 5 minutes.

They're probably called hockeytown cause they have the most stanley cup titles in america. And Detroit is a poor neighborhood, & red wing tickets probably cost too much. Sadly I heard that Detroit doesn't appreciate the wings :( They'd rather support the sorry ass Lions who don't care about winning. And the Tigers who have terrible uniforms. And also baseball has been a dead issue for years. Fans fill new tiger stadium only when they're winning.
And you mention about the other stuff getting more attention than the nhl. The american media now, especially in sports are prejudiced against foreigners. They hate anyone & anything that isn't american dominated >:( NHL is mainly foreigners in it. Funny how the same media hated on John Rocker for not being fond of foreigners, they now more prejudiced against foreigners than Rocker.

Luongo>Iginla

The superstars aren't supposed to fight actually. That's what the goons/enforcers are there for. Think of them as bodyguards :) I wish that Iginla can be traded out of Calgary. Cause he won't win with the Flames & the Flames deserved 2 be 4ever cursed cause they hired Dyke Keenan. Keenan should be the one that's blackballed from the league. But you know there's always gotta be a dumbass out there who don't get the message. He should not be allowed to coach in the NHL again for how he does things. Hating on rookies, trading everybody. I know there are Blues fans who will feel the same way.

NHL GMS TAKE PART IN THIRD ANNUAL POLL FOR TSN
If you could pick one player to build your team around for the next five years, who would it be? A sniper like Alexander Ovechkin? A playmaker like Sidney Crosby? Maybe a stalwart goaltender such as Roberto Luongo?
It's a tough choice, and it's one that TSN asked NHL general managers to make as part of a poll conducted for the NHL on TSN Season Preview Show, which aired Wednesday.
Twenty-eight GMs took part in the third annual poll for TSN, and the franchise player most coveted was Crosby, with 98 points in a 5-3-1 weighted system. Crosby was the top choice on 15 ballots.
Ovechkin topped Luongo 66 to 38 in terms of voting points, but its worth noting that Canucks captain had more first place votes (7) than the Russian gunner (5).
Others getting votes were Dion Phaneuf (21 points), Henrik Zetterberg (12), Carey Price (4), Zdeno Chara (3), Eric Staal (3), Ryan Getzlaf (1), top prospect Viktor Hedman (1), Evgeni Malkin (1), Ryan Miller (1), Jonathan Toews (1) and Shea Weber (1).
All 30 Nhl GM's Voted on who they think is the best franchise player. Luongo came third behind Ovie and Sid the kid with 38 votes, while Iggy was not voted for once. Although Phaneuf got 21 votes.
All 30 Nhl GM knowledge >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your opinion

well u weren't really specific in ur first post. i assumed u were talking about which is the better player, which isn't comparable..sorry for not knowing you were talking about a Fantasy Draft! lol

LOL the tsn annual GM poll is not a Fantasy Draft LMAO. But either way fantasy draft or not the common sense around the league = Luongo>Iginla but this thread is going lengths to prove to me even more that common sense is not that common.
Luongo is far more valuable to a team than Iginla therefore Luongo>Iginla, i assume that next your going to ask me to compare these to players in baby language, which unfortunately for you i evolved out of.
-
sorry yo i must be a fuckin retard cuz i still don't get ur logic here :-\...why dont u go compare a kicker>QB or a Pitcher>Catcher...I think you meant Luongo>Nabakov, etc & Iginla>Naslund, etc...or sumthin like that cuz you just CAN'T compare Goaltenders to Forwards, Defence, Coaches etc...lol
Do me a favor. The next person you see, ask them, Who Is Better?: Luongo or Iginla? Tell me what they say, okkkay??
