Cool Nascar outraces Rangers

NASCAR outraces Rangers

It usually is not news when hockey ratings fall flat, but sometimes the numbers hit you like a crosscheck to the face.

Sunday's Sabres-Rangers game, even with a boost from two overtimes, drew 1.8 percent of households in the New York area. That trailed NASCAR on Fox (2.1) and a Tiger-less Byron Nelson Classic on CBS (1.9). Yikes!
I also heard that the Rangers-Sabres game drew a zero rating in some cities on the west coast. We're not even talking about Versus. This game was on NBC!

What a great job Bettman is doing popularizing the game, huh?

That's just sad. I know I've only caught a handful of games this season myself. I really miss ESPN's weeknight coverage with Gary Thorne and Bill Clement. Now with Versus I can't even get it in the office. And when 98% of the games are unwatchable, of course most fans aren't going to be able to psyche themselves up into watch the 2% that are on NBC.

The NHL needs a new commissioner and a new TV deal pronto.
