Niches are cool. In the wake of NBC's leaving an NHL playoff overtime for a Preakness pre-race show, it's time for hockey fans to embrace their nichetude.
[2007-05-21]

  • NHL vs Ponies

    Man … it's QUIET in here.

    TOO quiet.

    Where the hell is everybody?

    I can't believe there are no comments on this from the Hockey hypsters. NHL … No Hatred Left?

    I don't care what the niche numbers say to those running the commercial airwaves, dropping the Sabres/Senators in favor of PRE-RACE pap was moronic. I mean … it's ACTUAL overtime in the NHL playoffs, vs PRE-RACE photo-ops? That's not niche vs niche. That's blown coverage.

    The only thing that made it bearable is that I didn't want to see the Sabres lose.

    But, I also didn't want to see the tony Pony people.

    So … one more lost customer.

    PS: Will anyone really be watching the Spurs/Pistons march to the inexorable finale of the NBA now that the Suns have set?
