    It sounds like the team should not exist and it should be just San Jose and LA

Around Forthcoming “Clip and Sling†Service NHL Gives Fans the Power to Pick Their Favorite Hockey Footage to Share with Others Through Clip+Sling™ Technology NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a first for all major professional sports leagues, the National Hockey League (NHL) is partnering with Sling Media, Inc. around the company’s upcoming Clip+Sling technology. The NHL and Sling Media have signed an agreement whereby Sling Media’s Clip+Sling technology will enable all current and future Slingbox™ customers to clip and share live or recorded segments of NHL programming online with friends, family and others. “Having the most tech-savvy fans of all major professional sports, who also tend to be early adopters of new technology, makes offering NHL content through Clip+Sling a natural fit,†said Keith Ritter, President, NHL Interactive CyberEnterprises. “This partnership expands the visibility of our NHL games online and we are excited and proud to be the first sports league to offer this service to our fans.†“The NHL has consistently been at the forefront of embracing new technologies to empower and grow their fan base and we are incredibly proud to have them as our first sports league partner,†said Jason Hirschhorn, President of Sling Media’s Entertainment Group. “Clip+Sling makes it extremely easy for fans to share a priceless moment with others, dramatically changing the way consumers socialize around TV. In addition, it enables content creators to build new communities as well as new revenue and marketing opportunities around their content.†Clip+Sling is a feature that will be built into Sling Media’s SlingPlayer™ software, giving Slingbox owners the ability to record and share portions of content with just a few short clicks. While customers will need a Slingbox to create and share clips, the clips posted to Sling Media’s forthcoming video destination site will be accessible by anyone. NHL clips posted to this site will be searchable and categorized by NHL as a league and NHL clubs to help users navigate through clips with ease. In addition, the NHL will also make its own long-form and short-form content available on the video destination site. Clip+Sling is currently in private beta, with the company accepting applications for inclusion in a broader public within the United States and Canada later this summer. Individuals interested in applying for inclusion in the broader public beta can sign up at www.lebowski37.com.

Today, the NHL consists of 30 Member Clubs, each reflecting the League’s international makeup, with players from more than 20 countries represented on team rosters. According to a Simmons Market Research study, NHL fans are younger, more educated, more affluent, and access content through digital means more than any other sport.

    Soccer!

    Beckham at it again. I caught the game just a few minutes after Owen scored his goal. Just took a look at the rest of the Euro2008 scoreline and Scotland won as well. I hope they qualify and it would be great if they deny the Italians.

    Sergei Fedorov

    Haters of Fedorov, You all know you love him, just like how you were loving Shanahan's rod after he left. P.S. this was a joke.

    NHL Dissed

    Geeze I hate when people try to coin the saying "You're fired" to Donald trump. He was not the first to make that saying. I believe it was a little diss to the NHL but they did at least know which teams were in the finals.

    Detroit Pistons Season Thread

    This is the one time that I love being wrong. Thank God the Pistons lost. It's so annoying hearing people talk about them around here.

    True. I remember hearing your owner saying he would not sell the Preds in a interview I think during mid season.

    Potential New Arena Discussion

    Detroit needs to expand and not just sit in one neighborhood "Greek" town. Plus Cobo Hall needs to be rebuilt and not expanded.

    Potential New Arena Discussion

    I feel you all the way. But it would be good for the city if they redeveloped the old JLA spot for a top spot for out of towners to come in and live it up, like how Chicago has it along the water. Did't Gordie howe use to have a Ice hockey Arena named after him for kids hockey back in the day?
