This league is hilaribad at marketing.

Watching todays exhibition games are quite topical to todays exhibition games.
The league has 0 real care to expand their sports fan landscape. And that showed on how I couldn't find some games on TV on Tuesday. They really are fine sticking in their lane it seems. However, this coullddd be a strategy because they were using the exhibition games as a tester on their systems. The NHL is apparently switching how they do things based off of those exhibition games. Like the snow scrapers during commercials are being adjusted because they were too close to each other, the sanitizing between periods was likely a test pilot system that has done well, I'm sure pumped in crowd noise is one too.
Maybe, even though it's not the right thing to do in my mind, they wanted to keep the exhibition games to people who just wanna watch hockey, and once the playoffs start on Saturday the American advertisement for it will be larger. In Canada they need like 0 ads, don't waste your money here on that we'll all be watching regardless lol.
