from Mark Spector of the National Post,
The tournament begins in quasi-hockey weather in 16 cities. But The Masters quickly passes, nature moves on to baseball, and summer arrives before the hockey playoffs are even half over. As fans’ home teams fall by the wayside, the very nature of spring turning to summer draws them away from the TV and out of doors.
It works in direct opposition to the onset of winter coinciding with the baseball playoffs - when a fire, a couch and a good ballgame marry up perfectly - and the television ratings reflect that. By the time they play the Stanley Cup final interest is regional, with most Canadians watching with one eye from the clubhouse or the cabin, or not at all.
The good news? Pay your cable bill, friend, because the best hockey month of the year is upon us.

I’d like to thank Mr. Spector for supplying reason # 43,474 on the list of reasons why most MSM writers are full of it: a quick look up shows that the Red Wings were WORST against the central with a record of 15-11-3, while they were 15-2-3 against the NW, and 15-5-0 against the Pac (nod to iwoCPO for the stats). So the “weak sister” division supplied the wings with twice as many losses as the other two, and more losses came at the hands of central division opponents than the other two combined.
Keep up the good work Mark! Still think they’re feasting on easy points in the central? If they were so inflated why aren’t there more losses or at least ties w. teams in the “real” divisions? With research like yours pretty soon everyone will catch on that most MSM coverage is just the regurgitation of the same old cliches and out-dated analysis. You go ahead and keep writing yourself out of a job.
