U.S. newspapers give cold shoulder to hockey's showcase event

[Gotham Dark Knight]

Of the 21 U.S. markets that have NHL teams, only nine were represented for any of the first three games. That includes local coverage in the Los Angeles area. The Daily News of New York covered the entire series, while The New York Times sent a reporter only to the opener.

"It's sad," Tampa Bay forward Vincent Lecavalier said Saturday before Game 3. "If people are not watching it they are really missing out. It's a great series and they definitely should cover it. It's exciting and it's the Stanley Cup."

Yes, but now if Britney was getting back with her ex...well we would have at least three writers form each paper there. Sad Really. Horribly Sad.
