Fanpuck33 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Not that much now hein ? Sure it's a major market, but it's not a hockey crazy market. The Rangers are still well behind the Giants, Jets, and even the lousy Knicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanpuck33 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Does that rule out every USA cities ? Well, I can't think of a single US team that would be considered the most popular team in the area. Detroit probably comes closest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankhab Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I really think that they will have major depth issues next season if someone goes down. I think they are a very solid team with good depth. They have lost some character players in Dubinsky and Prust, but Callahan and Richards are still good leaders. I think they are the current favs to win the Stanley Cup. I know we have seen Sathers Rangers load up on talent before, then crash and burn, but I think he's got it right this time.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Well, I can't think of a single US team that would be considered the most popular team in the area. Detroit probably comes closest. San Jose. As for Detroit, I'd say the Wings can make an argument but really they are equally as excited for the Lions, Wings and Tigers. I wouldn't say one is over the other. When the Pistons were hot they were up there as well. It's a nice balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Does that rule out every USA cities ? Of course it does. Even NCAA is much bigger business than NHL ever will be. Even in San Jose i am sure NCAA trumps hockey and Oakland As are planning on moving there also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankhab Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 There is no city in the US whereby a hockey player would get as much attention, wanted or unwanted, as if they played in Toronto or Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the sports near San Jose is followed as "Bay Area" and in that case, the Sharks fall down the list to the football clubs and the A's. However, for just San Jose area alone the Sharks are very popular and the most recognized logo in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
