They've harnessed the energy of social media unlike any other sport and allow for player personalities to shine through.
    You and amkirby both express valid (and tangential) points.

    No fan of any particular sport is neutral regarding a dynasty within that sport. The Yankees and the Patriots come to mind immediately. That fan will love or hate the dynasty in question to the extent that he/she will have some semblance of a rooting-interest in nearly any game it plays. (For instance, I watch the YES network for the sole purpose of going to bed happy after a Yankee loss... I would truly root for the Al-Qaeda Fightin' Baseball Jihadis vs. the Yanks, and I mean that.)

    As you say, the NBA does a great job of marketing personalities. Everyone loves cute little Steph Curry -I do, too- and everyone has an opinion regarding LeBron one way or the other... But, college hockey will likely never be able to pull that off. So, we are stuck with loving or hating programs, not individuals. And perennial winners are easy to hate, and, ergo, interesting to watch.

                Sounds like some loose puck chances if they get there.

                  I heard Yale goal. Cuts out on both Maine goals. Heard "sports live" commercial each time. With them being such a premium place to watch sports.

                  I have 117.7 Mbps download speed. Just tried HBO hd.

                  Strange. Must be a conspiracy, I tell ya.

                    The dogs that need to muscle in are Tralmaks, Shea, and JSS... in my opinion. If they aren't going to fight net front they are not doing their jobs.

                          Thanks, thought not. I was looking forward to watching Maine on the tablet and the FBS on the tube all at once. Was making a pot of coffee just to keep up.

                            The kick outs are associated with them going to timeouts.

                              I heard one goal tonight. Sheesh, I suppose I'll watch Celtics now(after about 15 resets). Good luck and good night all.

                                This is part of us being dinosaurs. The radio goes way down hill... wonder why there is struggle to hire imaginitive talent. It's because the dinosaurs aren't walking the earth anymore. Err... I mean virtually speaking, of course.
