booooooooooooo:

"The 2016 Stanley Cup Final was one of the lowest-rated National Hockey League title tilts since the sport returned to NBC 11 years ago. And while partisans can offer up more excuses for the weak turnout than there are gaps in Brent Burns' smile, the fact remains that hockey simply is no longer a consistent TV draw."

Stanley Cup Final Ratings Are Toothless

They mentioned it, but I sincerely think it was just people not wanting to A. See anymore of the fucking Pens and B. Possibly see those shitbags win another cup

Glad they won it in San Jose because fuck their stupid fans.

This is SO shitty for the NHL. I think one of the games garnered less than 2 million viewers. Insane. I think it was game 2 or 3. I was blown away that they put any of the games on NBCS. That's so insane. Next year I wouldn't be surprised it they are ALL on NBCS.

the tears make this even better! thanks

[DeathFromAbove1979]

Thanks for supporting a team ruining the sport.

[godsshoeshine]

so great

As I discussed with Sweets, I watched not one second of this NHL Finals for the first time. Between the two teams, you have approximately 30 dudes who look like they pay for sex. I literally loathe both of those teams. The only sports final more odious than Pittsburg v San Jose in my estimation would be Peyton Manning v clone Peyton Manning. So ugh.

Congrats to godsshoeshine or whatever,

The most disgusting part -- while appreciate the shade he's throwing at Toronto, that's prime -- is the Hamburgler playing so well. The #FatAccepatance people have to be having a field day with Captain 40"-Waist-Line coming up large.

IT'S PITTSBURGH. Your 2016 world champs!

I have a long-standing tradition of refusing to spell it correctly. HAve you been to Pittsburg? You'd want to get the "H" out of there too if you have.

[sweetcell]

we missed you, bitch

[godsshoeshine]

like ricmond or micigan

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

like ricmond or micigan

Yes, those would be other examples of the construct. I applaud your ability to identify the letter H in various words.

[godsshoeshine]

of places I have been to and wanted to get the h out of, yes

Solid discussion, but this quip is the winner.
