Just a little seafood left to catch...

This was a great article. I am glad that people are starting to voice their disdain for ESPN. The glaring truth of this is that they have forgotten the name of their own sports network. It's not MBSPN (Money Buys Sports Programming Network). Its Entertainment and Sports Programming Network! I don't see anywhere in that name that says some sports or only the ones that pay big money. I for one like Versus - they have significantly improved their production of NHL games. And NBC with the Game of the Week is doing a very good job of advertising the game and then producing the game. Who knows, maybe NBC decides to get a bigger stake in the NHL in the future... The other network, NHL Network, is finally here in the states, although not as widely available as Versus, but its getting there. And lets not forget the Fox Sports networks. Their coverage is getting better and better. So, maybe the ESPN divorce will end up being a good thing for the NHL. Hopefully, it'll be ESPN that ends up on the short end of the stick.
