But it sure as h-e-doublehockeysticks seems it IS!! This Bettman douche DOES need to think about the fans and look into the NHL on T.V. I live directly between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, I STILL CAN'T WATCH HOCKEY!!!!! I pay $130++ to watch a crappy picture on the internet. This Penguins "LOVE" by Bettman, stupid fans and the officials NEEDS to end! It's like they can do no wrong. I'd just LOVE to see Ovy take one of his: leave his feet, elbow towards head runs at Cindy-C, and see what the NHL does about that!!!!!!!! Probably push it under the rug, yet again.joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190934258393485909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756595755698157001.post-85993066829695508462009-04-29T21:03:00.000-04:002009-04-29T21:03:00.000-04:00Even if you have versus, you are going to miss gam...Even if you have versus, you are going to miss games - how can you cover a 7:00 game and then join a 7:30 game in progress? Are you kidding me? There are three conflicts like that in the second round. Some casual fans don't start watching until the playoffs and they are being denied opportunities to watch and possibly become full time fans. Don't blame everything on bettmen...the NHL administration is filled with ex-players who don't have a clue about how to market and grow a sport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756595755698157001.post-88582676475160443052009-04-29T20:24:00.000-04:002009-04-29T20:24:00.000-04:00Ratings have been way up this year.

We are truly spoiled up here in Canada (weather aside). Best of luck on finding some other feeds Midge. I would be the world's happiest man too if I could be a total screw-up at work yet still keep my job.

Happy to say that here in Reno not a single game will be available. Way to go Bettman!!! That's the way to add thousands and thousands of new fans to the game!!!midgenoreply@blogger.com
