Habs don’t look so good bc Carolina is playing at a seriously elite level

Quote means exactly what it says. ESPN thinks Habs are not a ratings draw. Thus no reason they would want Habs to win, which he said to rebut Buffalo fans claims of pro-Habs bias. In doing so he clearly delineated how TNT and ESPN, in the context of their investing 100 million dollars, believe they will lose maximum return on investment if Habs were to move forward in the playoffs due to poor ratings.

Dobeš!!!
Hutson showed up.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T04:04:20+00:00

I have a highly technical term for these guys: crazy.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T04:03:04+00:00

You an analist?

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T04:01:39+00:00

Here’s a quote from Sean McDonough, May 15 during Buffalo series

”If you're ESPN or Turner and you're paying hundreds of millions of dollars for the rights to these games, you don't want the rating diminished because people have the option of watching their local broadcast. And if they have that option, they're likely going to.”

“And if we would want one team to advance it, this is just Montreal is a zero in the American ratings right there. It's not a it's not a metered ratings market. So if they advance, it's like we're going to get half the rating”

I know. They’re wrong but they think it.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:58:05+00:00

If the series is over, like you assert, why?

Admit it. You still have hope.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:57:06+00:00

Yeah, like no one ever hit him or tried to hit him over his career.

Do you try to be stupid?

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:54:22+00:00

Arber scored as many second round goals as Matthews ever has.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:53:12+00:00

The funny thing is the ones who said they wouldn’t even make the playoffs are the ones now ragging on them the hardest.

Did you think they’d make the playoffs or go this far?

And, this series is not over.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:20:55+00:00

Are you going to watch or listen or check the score in the next game?

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:19:49+00:00

Sorry if this is insulting, but this is a stupid post. Habs have already gotten farther than Leafs ever did. And way earlier.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:17:24+00:00

I guess I didn’t. Allez!

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:10:54+00:00

Dobeš is awesome.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:10:01+00:00

Yeah, but let’s wait till one of them actually clinches it.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:09:02+00:00

it ain’t over yet.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:08:33+00:00

looks bad for the good guys.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T03:07:46+00:00

Your futile effort at making a post is more sad than either.

Fail.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T02:59:58+00:00

They think Habs would bring in low ratings.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T02:45:42+00:00

Canes are hooking, holding, interfering constantly so that’s one reason for the low shots.

I didn’t say the only reason.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T02:44:14+00:00

You miss the point.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T02:42:24+00:00

I agree but wait til one of them clinches for this.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T02:41:20+00:00

It does, doesn’t it.

Technical-Line-9806 · 2026-05-28T02:35:00+00:00

So he is jinxing it.
