Episode 254: The 2018-19 Watchability Rankings

cambarra@sportsnet650.ca (Blue Wire) — Mon, 1 Oct 2018 15:23:56 +0000

Sean McIndoe joins the show to help compile our annual Watchability Rankings. In this episode we put together a list counting down from 31 all the way down to 1 based on the entertainment value each team figures to provide viewers with this season. Here's a good rundown of the methodology that guides the list:

“If you’re sitting down on a random Thursday night and there’s a plethora of games to choose from, which teams are you prioritizing seeing (all other things being equal, putting rooting allegiances aside)? Talent is obviously king, but style and likelihood of engaging in a back-and-forth, fast-paced affair are just as important. It’s important to remember that sometimes being a very successful hockey team in terms of wins and losses and your place in these rankings can be inversely related.”

We'll be doing weekly daily fantasy listener leagues over at FanDuel this season. If you go to fanduel.com/PDO and tell them we’ve sent you, they'll hook you up with a bonus $20 to play with after your first deposit. The first contest will be running on the opening day of the season during October 3rd's four-game slate. See you there!

Episode 197: 2017-18 NHL Watchability Rankings

cambarra@sportsnet650.ca (Blue Wire) — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 15:24:10 +0000

Craig Custance joins the show to help put together the annual Watchability Rankings, where we stack every team in the NHL from 31 all the way down to 1 based on the entertainment value they figure to provide viewers with this season.

As has been the case in years past, the following is a good synopsis of how we approached the task, and what it's ultimately trying to capture:

“If you’re sitting down on a random Thursday night and there’s a plethora of games to choose from, which teams are you prioritizing seeing (all other things being equal, putting rooting allegiances aside)? Talent is obviously king, but style and likelihood of engaging in a back-and-forth, fast-paced affair are just as important. It's important to remember that sometimes being a very successful hockey team in terms of wins and losses and your place in these rankings can be inversely related.”
