Brandon Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Some rave reviews on the radio from the red deer pbp guy in regards to Spacek. Sounds like a solid prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Probably not why the NHL wants to see in their tv ratings: PS: the numbers for wrestling tell you everything you need to know about that industry too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Not just an NHL problem, look at all those sports, most are trending older. It is a generational problem. TV in general is in trouble. Most young people don't watch TV anymore. It is youtube, Snapchat, and whatever other social site of the day.

Atomic Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Media is changing. Many people I know have cut their cable and subscribe only to the sports they want (NHL gamecenter, etc) or they use a streaming service like Kodi. And why not? Leagues are going to have to be creative and find new sources of revenue because this trend isn't going to reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 If the audience declines do salaries keep going up, I agree most of these sports are going to have fewer and fewer eyeballs less and less revenue, who knows what sports will be like in 10 -20 years from now.

I don't think less people are watching. They are just not watching on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall that. It's been trending older for years. So unless there was a different context I don't know why I'd say that. WWE has a wide demo. But it trends older. What made it explode in 97/98 was new teenage/young adult fans. One issue with wwe is that their TV demo and house show demo was generally at odds with one another.

The Unknown Poster Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yes, based on the article, the argument the writer is putting forth is Perreault is the Jets' 3rd most important forward. We can argue that, of course. But he drives a lot of the play. He's probably a big part of a really good 3rd line...and if we have a really good 3rd line and a traditional checking 4th line, things probably look good. blue_gold_84 and Atomic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Perreault I think is of more value for the Jets today then guys like Armia , Dano , Connor, Copp etc.... Our team needs to have some vets who can play at a consistent level... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team needs to have some vets who can play at a consistent level... No question.... Connor still has huge potential so I wouldn't lump him in there because that's two different things... but if it came down to Perreault vs Copp/Armia/Dano... Perreault is better now and probably for at least a few years into the future as well. The Unknown Poster and Floyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manitoba did not pay towards MTSC what Burke wants Alberta to pay towards their new project. Burke is either very uninformed or out and out lying. Also, if he thinks the Flames can up and leave without telling anyone, Mr Bettman is on line 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
