you know, i don't mind versus or nbc. i just wish espn and maybe abc would join back with them. but pierre mcguire needs to go back to canada's tsn. so annoying.
@ericdxx Wow ! Today I´ve heard this theme for the first time and after 15 seconds I was like " hey, this is Iron Maiden" .. scrolled down and saw your comment asi first :)
Versus may not be the best, but they get the job done. And it beats the hell out of having to share the network with other sports leagues. There's very little danger that a hockey game might get upstaged by a PBR event in Helena, as opposed to being upstaged by an NBA game in LA. Who can honestly say that they've never seen a hockey matchup that they were really looking forward to watching on ESPN or ABC be passed over in favor of something else on the network?
They did and are currently using a new theme. I prefer this one hands down over the new theme but would nevertheless like to hear the new one and compare it to the old.
this theme was the only reason why versus is nothing better than pretty good. if they keep the new one, next year better be their last year on this channel
Bruins!!!..... I think hockey SHOULD be down south so the game can expand to more people besides the people up north who already love the game.... and ESPN not acknowledging that the nhl exists is a big part of the reason why the nhl is not as popular as it should be
they've had 20+ years to make it work down south. There are many reasons these teams are failing, mainly that most southern teams aren't very good. Fringe fans won't pay to watch losing teams. These teams also need a transcendent star and a good young core for the fans to identify with. Pittsburgh would be in Kansas City if it weren't for Crosby, Washington would be hopeless without Ovechkin. If the NHL was really serious about the south, they'd rig it so the top young US talent gets sent there.
What a short memory you must have. Four years ago your Penguins were all but gone to Kansas City. You had the oldest arena, the least talented team and a dwindling fan base. Nothing Mario could do to stop that. A bounce of a ping-pong ball lands you guys Crosby and now you're defending champs, exciting team and a brand new arena next year. No, Pittsburgh is not a southern market, but from 2001-05 they sure looked like one.
@KGfan7 you hit the nail on the head about ESPN they are terrible to the NHL thus making me not watch it in the winter. I only watch it during baseball season because im sick and tired of hearing about football 24/7 its not treated like a sport its treated like a tv show i only watch my comcast sportsnet hockey central
@captinchaos21 The Panthers are nearly 20 years old and have at the very least made the Stanley Cup Finals. I know everyone seems to hate Sun Belt franchises, but they're clearly here to stay. They wouldn't have been around for a decade or more if they weren't able to generate some kind of profit.
@captinchaos21 I actually like the Thrashers, tho. They have a relatively good fit, and make money and have passionate fans and have a future, while Florida and Phoenix doesn't.
Expansion to Bettman:
Add Nords, Jets, Whalers, a team in Kansas City(Already has an NHL-able arena) and a team in Seattle(Already has history, first North American Stanley Cup Team).
@rodneymack1999 Only 2 teams will come back.Nordiques and Jets but whalers cant see the light of day :( but anyways,im glad that Quebec And Winnipeg are gonna be back probably in 2011-2012 season (Next Year) I wish good luck to both teams.
@rodneymack1999 lol the whalers i live in ct and im a die hard Ranger fan (i was born in NY and so was my whole family) but i see what your saying. theres still some whalers fans left but a lot are Rangers fans LETS GO RANGERS!!!
@rodneymack1999 Looks like the Jets may be coming back as the Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg. They have stated that the Thrashers name will not come with them, and the Coyotes (who used to be the Jets until moving to Phoenix in 1996) don't have the Jets trademark, so I believe that the return of the Jets name is almost certain.
ESPN treated the NHL like crap the last time they had them. And if they DID get the NHL back, mind telling me where they can slot it-considering they have so many big ticket sports now?
Not as long as the Thrashers and Islanders exist in the East. I don't care if John Tavares is with the Isles, he can't single-handedly resurrect that piece of crap franchise. Buffalo has some talent, but they have to-quite frankly-grow up and get some stones.
Where can i download this instrumental song of the NHL on Versus, whats the name of it so i can iTunes it or Limewire?????????????????????????????????????
NHL on ESPN theme song is much better. Although I will admit Versus has a much better theme song than the NHL on ABC. ABC's NHL theme song was terrible and so is FOX's.
Its not versus' fault that the NHL cant pull in good ratings, its the people running the NHL. Please tell me what one of the four major U.S. sports is doing on a channel where kickboxing and sportfishing is the primary audience winner? And why cant I see more of the NHL on sportcenter? The NHL was sot to shit before Vs started picking up their games so I dont think their to blame.
But you gotta love the guitar on this theme though.
This song sucks and so does the whole channel. And why would any1 even wanna know this song, it sucks! NHL on ESPN was da shit and NBA needs 2 o back on NBC.
NHL on ESPN was the shit. But Versus blows FSN away and NBC in my opinion. Im sick and tired of seeing pittsburgh, Washington, and New York on NBC's game of the week. Pittsburgh is terrible this year. Spread it out a little and put other teams on NBC
