2017's worst-viewed UFC on Fox card drew 1.5M viewers. MLS Cup drew 1.4M on the same network. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/soccer/mls-marks-new-attendance-record-while-tv-ratings-lag/article37014512/ https://www.mmamania.com/2018/1/28/16942782/ufc-on-fox-27-ratings-lowest-ratings-ever-on-big-fox

There was not. And even that report was already made 1 month ago, by a better Finn media guy.

I didn't know which emoji reply was appropriate; the crying one or the LOL one.

Just one media's opinion. But dude seems pretty well connected in Cowtown.

Laine named 1st Star of the Week https://www.nhl.com/news/patrik-laine-brad-marchand-evgeni-malkin-named-nhl-3-stars/c-296858918

I'm challenged to think of any star player who didn't / doesn't whine.... aka complain to refs about a missed call. "ya know that James Wright was always nice to officials, that's why I wear his jersey" - this board, probably. ---------------------------------------- Be thankful you're all not NBA fans, 98% of the sport is the best player being fouled. So entertaining.

Hilarious and oh-so-well deserved. Rot in prison, scumbag.

Is this like that MJ retired 'cuz of gambling, theory? Mario retired 1st time because of cancer. 2nd retirement was 6 weeks after being diagnosed with irregular heartbeat. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/mario-lemieux-retires-from-hockey-1.618542

Blast!

Shannon's other tweet was good too, from a column of his in January re: Canes & new owner.... "sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make". Doesn't bode well for Raleigh fans.

someone smash a guitar on my head already....

Quebec City I feel for. No city "deserves" the NHL, because that's a silly idea to begin with, but their fans deserve a big league team no question. They check off Bettman's 3 keys registered trademark; arena, fans, ownership. Unfortunately for them, Winnipeg got a team first. What's going to change in the not-so-distant future to change their outlook? Beats me. And before people say the Coyotes..... if Bettman wanted to move that franchise north it would have been done already. To me, the Coyotes move to downtown Scottsdale or Houston, or live in purgatory in Glendale.

every 2nd post works for me.

Sounds like Mason gets the start

Good god... 1 ) Outdoor games have LONG since worn out their welcome. Scrap 'em all together for 5 years. 2 ) Having an NHL outdoor game in Regina is the stupidest thing since the NHL-to-Saskatoon talk. Never. Should. Happen. Neither of them. No reason to other than further glorify a fanbase that gets far too much love as it is. 3 ) Since MBB is accrediting a member for CFL Week , can I call dibs on our Jets Finnish correspondent? Would looooove to go to Helsinki. I promise not to be annoying as gbill.

Evidently the bloggers from Motown read MBB. Funny, I didn't know Detroit still existed. Thought they shut it down because 90% of the city is derelict. https://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2018/3/2/17069576/morning-skate-red-wings-winnipeg-jets-predicted-lineups-how-to-watch

Right....and so in years where the Jets are no good...what happens? Obviously we can fill 19,000 seats when the Jets are awesome, people have a fresh paycheque, it's +20 in December and a million people live in the city.

Hot n Ready!

And if that's true, it's a flaw in the plan. How many big concerts have come to IGF since it was opened? Half dozen maybe? We never should have even thought about anything > 30,000. Of course, she has to expand to 35,000 or so to get our Grey Cups. It's a shame because strictly as a place to watch a game, IGF is fantastic. But 6000 empty seats every game is an eye sore & the atmosphere suffers for it. I'd bet even now, there's a few every game that don't sell. The holds they release on gameday, no biggie. But I'd be shocked if those were 100% sold. @Floyd I'm keeping you in mind next time I can't make a Jets game! It's not easy getting rid of them, trust me!

Put aside hockey even. I love IGF.... but how great would it be to see that place full once in awhile. 33,500 is just too big. It's the CFL's version of 19,000 hockey arenas.
