Oh yeah what about....ESPN 3....Hockey, Soccer (Futbol), and whatever sport that America will throw under the bus, yet they seem to be the only one not tainted by things such a steriods and whatnot...
I would vote both, if it was an option...get hockey back on a national level, so many people can even see the games on Versus because they don't get it.
Also, I would LOVE to see ESPN revamp it's hockey analysis crew (Melrose and Barnaby) get some people who didn't play/coach the game so we don't have this bias bullsh!t every night from Barnaby...I can't even watch the hockey segments and it's really sad.
If you don't get NHL network (like me) you hardly get any decent hockey coverage, you get the NHL Central on Versus after the games which really isn't quality at all, and sometimes MSG had "Hockey Night" which is good for Rangers fans since it's three bias Ranger fans ganging up on Dano...
I don't know maybe it's just a dream of mine and many others for NHL to get big again like it seemed to be oh so many years ago.
