League wonders why they can't grow their audience. :unimpressed:

Look at the Wednesday Night Hockey schedule: NHL schedule 2019-20: NBC, NBCSN national broadcast lineup

Four games with Canadian teams all season. One for Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal and Calgary. :mindblown:

NBC had a Wednesday Night Hockey game last in Winnipeg with the Leafs and Jets. The rating was not good, NBC was probably like :huhldup: and aren’t going feature Canadian teams unless they are playing a strong US team in terms of rating. It’s just the reality, now NBC’s lack of promotion and marketing is another story.

Doesn't have to be two Canadian teams. They're all playing the Pens, Hawks, Caps, Rangers, Bruins, etc.

Auston Matthews is one of the biggest American stars but they just ignore him because he plays in Toronto.

Right now some of the most exciting teams in the league are Canadian: Oilers, Leafs, Flames and Jets. Canucks are entertaining too.

Very true, NHL biggest issue is there too many incompetent, conservative, and lazy hockey people in positions where younger and more progressive people who understand modern sports and how it’s marketed and promoted. This tweet is all you need to know why NHL’s lack of growth as a sport in mainstream audience and why expanding their base beyond that should be a bigger priority:
