So, if American teams are involved, all of sudden the ratings are going thru the roof? The only way the ratings are going up is if LA or NY are involved anyway.

TV dictates everything about pro sports today, it's the way it is. So, if ABC/ESPN puts more money in the pockets of teams from Ottawa/Vancouver/Edmonton by playing Saturday afternoon, what do you think those teams are going to do? Isn't that the important thing for those teams, revenue? Or is it by keeping Canadian fans happy by playing the traditional Saturday night game? So, don't pin it all on ABC/ESPN, pin it on your local owners who will get down on there knees for a dollar.
