NFL is just slicker on tv. They promote their stars and you will definitely see the star QBs perform. NHL isn't a great tv sport, it's awesome in person.

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.

The NHL continues to dream nationally when really it should be concentrating regionally.
NFL still is appointment viewing in prime time. There is nothing wrong with commercials. To use an extreme hockey example, would you rather watch Johnny Gaudreau play for 25 minutes with less commercials or 35 minutes with more commercials?
