Because I follow the whole league, not just the caps.
League info is easily accessible to Canadians because there is so much interest here with regards to hockey. On trade deadline day, sportsnet and TSN dedicate their whole day to The NHL. Same with July 1st when free agency usually opens up.
Our sportscentre on TSN will show every hockey highlight and analyze everything going on in the league for 20 min then speed through all other sports. In the States, they are lucky to get much more than 2-3 min dedicated to hockey in a 30 min sportscentre show on ESPN.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I assume Football(soccer) there is the main focus on your sporting news stations. Do they even show NHL highlights?
We also have the best developmental league in the world so I know players around the league before they are in it. I frequently go to watch junior games that caps prospects play in around me. Carlson and McMichael played an hour away from me in London(not your London) and I'd watch Burakovsky and Wilson when they'd come to Kitchener to play, always wearing my old school caps jerseys for the game.

It was ESPN that saved my life all those years ago. It was ESPN that brought me to Ovi and consequently to the Caps.

the Hens were never going to leave Pittsburgh, Mario made sure of that

I'm going to set you a challenge luvvie..
My favourite author is the late. great, Terry Pratchett. The "Discworld" series. II would suggest starting with "Mort" The earlier ones make more sense after that... Sort of............. :wackysmile:

If they didn't get crosby, they would have never got the millions of dollars to pay Mario back. If the team still owed him money do you think he would have put forth the effort to keep the team there? I feel like that was set up for them to get the first overall pick. Pittsburgh was gone otherwise in my opinion.
