and sunday ticket is awesome.
Hockey is chasing the national US tv deal when it no longer exists. NY Rangers get good ratings on MSN but then you put them on NBC Saturday afternoon and it draws flies
In 2016, blackouts and restrictions are ridiculous.

The NFL Sunday ticket is a one day a week thing and for the price you pay you better get all 14-16 games. NHL has never done well in the US nationally so I don't understand what you are getting at here. As a big NFL fan I can say that the sheer amount of commercials is starting to become a real issue. I get Sunday ticket and there's times where you are lucky to get a game that's not into commercial. Very frustrating and it's the worst when a team scores because after the conversion it goes to commercial, then back on air for the kickoff and then immediately back to commercial. If the ensuing drive ends in a 3 and out then you get a commercial right after the punt. We are talking about four full commercial slots in a span of less than 12-15 minutes which is absolutely brutal. IMO the NFL is milking the cow too much here and it's starting to wear thin on fans.
