Cowherd Says NHL is Talk Radio Death

Colin Cowherd said on his ESPN Radio show. "The Herd," Wednesday that talking about the NHL on sportstalk radio is pure broadcasting death.

Cowherd noted that NHL Stanley Cup ratings for the Anaheim Ducks against the Ottawa Senators last weekend on NBC averaged just under 1.5 million households and may go down as one of the lowest rated programs in the history of the timeslot on NBC.

Talk radio personalities are being forced to avoid talking about the NHL because of its irrelevancy in the United States, Cowherd said.
