That commercial is a lot better than the crap they tried last year with the "warrior". Now, the only thing to do is ... actually show the commercial. I watch a lot of NBC, and I never see any commericals about the NHL.
well, i live and canada, and im happy with wat i get 2 watch, cbc has a game every saturday 4 sure, tsn always has at least 1 game a week and rsn has a game every now and then, and now i get 2 watch nbc, so kick ass, im stacked!
One more thing for the people who may possibly be watching the All Star Game for a first time look at hockey well....DON'T!! If this game is anything like the past All Star Games it'll be a ridiculous over scoring game thats been toned down on the physical aspect.
I don't know where better to post this than here so here it is. Personally as a Canadian hockey fan and player of 16 years my view on the NHL All Star Game is it's absolute crap. In todays market the All Star Game is targeted at gaining more fans or keeping the newly obtained ones in the last two years. Note for the new fans who are drawn to hockey for a physical aspect, be for warned that there will be NONE!
kinda sad how NBC is marketing hockey. As simply 3 periods of "boom", hits, and hip checks. There are also boring parts where both teams are failry reserved, and sometimes there are not many goals. Its a beautiful game with great speed, goals, and incredible athletes.
See for hockey fans this is why you need to live in canada or at least get canadian TV. i feel for you guys (and gals) in the states looking to watch a good hockey game
yeah I agree. Im a rangers fan so hockey is very big here but we don't get many games. I mean i get the occasional devils and islanders and whatever is on OLN but thats it. This helps out alot.
who are you kidding?! I watched a game from a Canadian feed and wanted to put a bullet through my head. Most of the American networks are commentated by Canadians anyway.
it should say the new european hockey league where all they do is skate up and down the ice the new rules suck. bring back the old nhl where men were men and hockey was hockey.if you keep the nhl like this nobody is going to be watching.
what are you talking about dude the sabres never won the cup, the only time i remember them be in the finals is when the greatest team... the Stars... won it
hey its progress at least. its better than no hockey games on sundays. well then again here in MN we get to watch high school hockey every week on FSN, the gophers on the weekends, then the wild the rest of the week
Here's a tip US television exect's ... Canadian play by play announcers. John Shorthouse, Jim Hughson ... people who actually make the game sound exciting and dont sound like they're TRYING to make the game sound exciting.
Did you know that the NHL has to pay NBC to put these games on TV? Certainly, the NHL doesn't have the same sweet TV deal that the NFL has. OLN... come on!
"Unlike previous network television deals with the NHL, NBC paid no rights fee, and the network and the league will split advertising revenue. In other words, the NHL will not receive any guaranteed money upfront. NBC would also cover its own production and distribution costs, whereas some minor sports leagues pay for broadcast time and production, but keep any advertising revenue."
I live in Detroit so I get CBC's Hockey Night in Canada on Saturdays, along with the Monday and Tuesday games on Versus. Then FSN Detroit has the Wings games. A Thursday hockey night would be perfect for me <3 haha
Well it's about time hockey is on basic television, the commercial kinda sucked though. they need to find the people who made the hits, saves and goals video and hire them.
Thats a really good promo, anyways go Cancuks! luongo for MVP

I believe that the agreement between the NBC and NHL is that NBC doesn't pay anything up front, and they split the profits from ads and stuff.
The NHL and Vs./OLN is a different agreement - I think Vs. pays $30 million.
