JimF-LowBari Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) When was the last time you saw the NHL on ESPN? Both sides took a beating on that one.... Only thing memorable about the ESPN telecasts was the Jim Schoenfeld-Don Koharski incident (aka "Have another donut you fat pig") after a playoff game. Poor cameraman getting a shot of the players leaving the ice and these two almost came to blows right in front of him. It's on YT but can't get the link right now...... I saw it live and my jaw was hitting the ground.... Edited November 20, 2014 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough, but I guess DCI can brag about something when they were on ESPN2, and beating average ratings of NHL sounds, maybe, a bit cooler than beating one-time viewing of billiards, or 9 hours of tennis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 But didn't DCI get better ratings than NHL? Edit - yes, it did from an average stand-point: at least the first year in 2005. Here's an old DCI article about the ratings http://www.dci.org/news/view.cfm?news_id=4d1162d1-eee2-4a4f-8c88-c0eb812ff899 yes, which is one of the reasons the NHL was dropped.
