I don't watch Monday or Thursday night football unless the Panthers are playing.  Don't even care.

I do sometimes.

Wouldn't surprise me if ESPN lobbied heavily for this, though it's not guaranteed they keep Monday Night in the next contract.

Thursday night football sucks for players. Playing 4 days after playing a game sucks. I think the only way to make it ok is to only have teams coming off of their bye week play on Thursday.  So they play Sunday, then have 10 days to Thursday, then have 10 days to the next game on the following Sunday. I think some teams would prefer this, as it keeps players more in rhythm, because you don't have 2 whole weeks between games.

Also use this idea for the London game. Maybe only schedule London teams who have a bye the week after.  Because in my experience, going to Europe is ok while you're there, but you feel terrible after you come back.  Give them their bye then.

ESPN is floundering and I couldn't be happier.  Monday night football will not save them.  Pro football is a Sunday only game.  They are over saturating the market with weeknight games, most of which just suck no matter who's playing.

I realize that stupid is the rule around here, but they can't do that. People travel and rent hotel rooms for games, can't just tell them to wait until tomorrow night.

I've always felt like they could do better in viewership if they simply had it come on earlier.  I realize why they think they need the time that they do...but I'd challenge that notion and try an earlier start to check it out.  I noticed how big of a difference it made for me to watch a full MNF game when I was on central time vs eastern.

It's been a bad idea to put bad games on prime time just because. If the teams want to be on prime time then don't suck or get flexed.

We don't deserve any prime time games next year and shouldn't until we prove we would be more than a sacrificial animal to trot out there for a killing.

Thursdays are such low quality games, it needs to end. Let the players have time to rest and prepare instead of a rushed crap product.

Well. It is an election year....talk about over saturation....Given the choice of that coverage or ESPN, ESPN wins that one for me

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
