Oh er spelen er wel wat in de NHL met een Nederlandse naam in ieder geval, in hoeverre ze een 'directe' Nederlandse afkomst hebben weet ik eigenlijk niet.

Zo even snel uit 't hoofd Staal, De Vries, Boogaard, Bouwman en Yzerman natuurlijk.

Misschien leuk om eens uit te zoeken.

Jammer dat ze een jaar stil gelegen hebben, de NHL voelt de schade nog steeds.

NBC looks to break the ice with NHL By Paul J. Gough
Sat Dec 23, 5:40 PM ET

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - NBC will create a National Hockey League game of the week and focus on emerging stars in an effort to reverse a ratings drop following the league's yearlong lockout.

After sitting out a season before its rights deal began because of the 2004-05 lockout, NBC's hockey telecasts averaged a 1.0 household rating compared with ABC's 1.1 in 2003-04, according to Nielsen Media Research.

This year, NBC will still carry three regional games but will focus marketing on one game that features emerging stars, like Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have the ability to become this generation's Bobby Orr or Wayne Gretzky.

"We're still doing three games because you have to regionalize hockey, but there is a focus game, and we want to take advantage of this new NHL," said Sam Flood, coordinating producer of NBC's hockey broadcasts.

About 60% of the country will see NBC's first game, which will feature Crosby's Penguins facing their cross-state rivals the Philadelphia Flyers on January 13. (The other games are Los Angeles-St. Louis and Boston-New York Rangers.) Flood said that Crosby and other youngsters on the Penguins inevitably cause comparisons to an emerging superstar who lifted basketball in the 1980s and '90s.

"They're still a second-tier team, but they're rising so fast and they're so much fun to watch, you're hoping it's similar to a rise of (Michael) Jordan," Flood said.

Ads for NBC's upcoming NHL telecasts will take a prominent role in the network's Christmas Day coverage of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game and will be seen elsewhere on the network, in entertainment as well as sports. The ads feature Crosby and other up-and-comers like Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.

Flood said there are other in-game improvements coming this season, including more of the "Inside the Glass" reporting by former coach Pierre McGuire, which brings about 30 percent of the telecast on the ice and benches rather than the traditional overall shot so common in hockey broadcasts.

Commish, NHL to explore realignment options for '07
Posted: Friday December 22, 2006 8:14PM; Updated: Friday December 22, 2006 8:57PM

ATLANTA (SI.com) -- Sources have confirmed to The Canadian Press the NHL is exploring realignment proposals for the 2007-08 season, likely reducing the number of divisions from six to four.

The massive overhaul, which features the Atlanta Thrashers and Columbus Blue Jackets switching conferences, was discussed Wednesday in New York when governors representing all six divisions met with commissioner Gary Bettman to try and find a solution to the ongoing schedule conflict.

Over the next few weeks, governors and GMs will be asked to look it over and decide whether it's worth a vote. Public reaction, especially in the media, will also factor in to whether it makes it to a vote at the board of governors meeting in Dallas next month. The concept goes as follows:

• Four divisions instead of six. The Eastern and Western Conferences would each have eight-and seven-team divisions;

• Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Jose, Colorado and Phoenix would make up the eight-team division in the Western Conference. The seven-team division would feature Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Dallas, Minnesota and Eastern Conference newcomer Atlanta;

• The new divisions in the East: one would feature Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Buffalo, Boston, Pittsburgh and Western Conference alumni Columbus. The other division would include the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Washington, Tampa Bay, Florida and Carolina. The Caps rejoining their old Patrick Division rivals was a popular sentiment at Wednesday's meeting;

• The divisions would be more sensitive to time zones with a huge consideration to TV start times. More games in the same time zone means less games at odd start times for viewers. This would also cut down on travel;

• The top four playoff seeds would come from the top two teams in each division. Four wild-card playoff berths would then be battled among the teams with the next highest point totals. So it would remain eight playoff teams in each conference.

A source stressed Friday that the idea still needs to marinade among team executives over the next few weeks. One GM contacted Friday by CP didn't even know about it yet.

What remains to be seen is how the Thrashers and Jackets will feel about switching conferences. For Columbus, it appears to make sense to be in the same division as Ohio-based Pittsburgh - although who knows where the Penguins end up next season.

Thrashers general manager Don Waddell said the proposal was news to him.

"We have not yet been approached by anyone associated with the league regarding switching divisions and conferences," Waddell said in a statement. "Therefore, we'll defer to the league and will not comment until the appropriate time.

"I will say that our organization is pleased with the current situation and our alignment in the Eastern Conference."
