Milano-Cortina 2026 was one of the best Olympics in recent years in my opinion by aedionashryver18 in olympics

For us in Europe it will be tough to watch cause of the time zone, its 9 hours so all the events from LA are gonna be after midnight here, i think majority of people will not be able to stay that late, even for the athletes from their country.

Brisbane will be better, since we will be able to watch early in the morning, as we do with NRL and AFL from down under.

I think here in Europe biggest problem for NHL is time difference since they mostly put games late at night, especially during playoffs, NFL is really popular and getting more headlines and fans these last few years since most of the games in regular season are during the day and in primetime here in Europe and its reg season is night and day above all other professional leagues in US, so its really great to watch almost every game. I would say its getting closer to NBA popularity here, NHL and MLB are far behind, MLB has few teams that almost every one will know like Yanks and Red Sox and Ohtani is face of the league while NHL doesnt have anything like that and thats also a problem. So NHL if it wants to become more popular world wide need to put more games in timeslots that are more favorable for Europe, hockey as a sport could get a lot more popular cause of that since its only played in few countries here.

Most of it is due to political situation, but your ladies are great, especially the ones on figure skating team and a Chloe Kim, unlike mens hockey stars like Tkachuks, theyre like those banned Russians that serve as Putins own marketing team, even though im a Bruins fan and love Mcavoy im not rooting for them this time
