People in New England care too, or are at least aware. Boston is a decent market, especially for hockey.

Yeah, Buffalo is a good TV market itself, but that doesn't matter nationally if no one else in the country cares, which they don't. Matthews has far more potential to draw fans who wouldn't care about hockey otherwise than Eichel does.

For sure, in the Southwest especially. Market both of them.

ayrt

Yeah, I mean, they should! I personally find Eichel more interesting personality-wise than Matthews. But a casual fan or someone who's never watched hockey stumbling onto it through NBC isn't going to have that kind of perception of them. People like players they feel they can relate to, and geography and ethnicity are big parts of that.

Hating =/= not caring. It's the opposite of not caring, actually. Everyone hating Pittsburgh makes Pittsburgh much more appealing to national broadcast than most people being indifferent to Buffalo.
