Not because Carolina plays bad but just because Detroit lays the smack down, then we?ll go back to the real tight games.I disagree that getting rid of teams would increase popularity, the game is most popular in cities where there are teams and getting rid of them wouldn?t make things better in terms of popularity (just look at what?s happened in Carolina).Getting rid of teams would make the game better however by weeding out less skilled players and raising the level of play, which would be a good thing.Correction baseball?s more boring.Don?t you mean let?s go Yankees?Boy was it funny to hear that during Rangers game.I, too remember a lot of games where he had some good chances and just didn?t finish. Of course I think it?s just something in the water down there, because it seems to happen to every one on the team at the same time of year, hmm maybe Tom?s going down to Philly and poisoning the water, stinking rangers fan sabotaging my favorite team, who does he think he is?Baseball is incredibly boring. Golf I might find interesting but have no interest in finding out. I do find basketball boring a lot of the time (Knicks/Heat from the last few years is an example of exactly what I don?t like about the game).One very important thing: scoring DOES NOT equal excitement and that?s why I can find basketball to be boring. In fact the teams score so much in basketball it makes each basket somewhat insignificant. I think this one of the reasons people might look down on hockey and soccer, what?s a 3-2 score compared to 98-90?I?m sure there?s more to it than that. I know I like both sports and it?s not because of the roughness, though it doesn?t hurt.I agree it doesn?t make much of a difference what time the games are on but it certainly doesn?t help. Of course not much of anyone is watching the NHL playoffs in the US either. Apparently the Wings/Avs games averaged about a 2.2 rating while some Busch series race on Fox did better, how any one can be interested in a bunch of cars going circles is beyond me.You?re right about this, of course it applies to any sport. Hopefully the Chinese don?t take an interest in Football or Hockey.</blockquote>
