        Why the hell would a US station put Canadian teams first? Making fun of NBC is fine, but at least do it for the reasons that make sense.

                That was hilarious.

                  Now THAT is amusing and extremely accurate.

                    Of course, it's really all Bettman's fault.

                    NBC's in it for ratings- they want to feature teams and players that are already popular because that's their business. And instead of coming up with some agreement where NBC also features less popular teams on a national stage in an attempt to grow the sport, Bettman just bent over and took it.

                    Basketball is down a little, but the NBA had a great run by moving to new cities and promoting internationally. MLB recovered from the strike to become more popular than ever, and the NFL has become absolutely dominant. Meanwhile, the NHL is barely hanging on by a thread because the only idea Bettman has is to put teams in warm-weather cities full of transplanted retirees.

                      Steriods helped with that by creating the home run frenzy of the early 00's

                        MLB is NOT more popular than ever. I would say they are slowly still killing their sport. With the steroids, greed by owners and players and TV not playing any World Series games early enough for young people to watch people don't care as much any more.
