>>427672 >losing ratings to the NFL NFL games really don't compete with NHL times. Not that that matters as the NFL rapes every other sports league in the US, ratings-wise. >losing ratings to the MLB Understandable, but the only overlap is during the MLB post-season. The influence is minimal. >losing ratings to the NBA Probably not directly. But the NBA is broadcast on a more accessible cable station. Though, I honestly doubt if most NHL ratings come from VS and not the local sportscasting channels.
The NHL does need marketing, and it isn't being marketed near enough. However, putting all the NHL marketing stock in just Crosby is patently retarded. Believe it or not, the very fact he can play on only one team hampers his appeal. In the same vein, he can only be playing one team on any given night. Bettman needs to stop sucking Crosby's cock and diversify.
