What's up with the NHL?
Wednesday, April 9, 2008 
You can view the schedule for the Stanley Cup playoffs here. I've been a Penguins fan for ages, and while I lived in Pittsburgh, all their games (just about all I think) were televised. As they are now. But I live in Boston now.
The only opportunity I have to watch the Penguins is Versus (which I have through Verizon FiOS), CBC (I don't like in Canada), RDS (French-Canadien? I don't have it), or FoxSports Pittsburgh (I'm a little too far to run a cable). WTF happened between ESPN and the NHL?
ESPN used to televise tons of hockey during the playoffs. I know that changed a few years back. Was it over ratings or simply money? What will they broadcast instead? Lumberjack contests, Rome's show, lame basketball, April meaningless baseball, ...
At least I get a few on Versus which is better than nothing. Internet radio and highlights on the Pen's website will have to tide me over I guess. And I'll be forced to watch the Bruins.
