We interrupt this broadcast to bring you hockey!! maybe

Last week the pucks dropped for the first time this NHL season. It was here we have a problem. The whole week has gone by and I have not been able to watch a game. Here on campus we, or at least I don't, get the versus network which carries most of the NHL games. This is the problem with the NHL. Unless your near a city with a team your not likely to see a game. There is interest in the NHL again as last year the league set an attendance record for the first time since before the strike. The only games available to us outside the Versus network are the games broadcasted on WGN in Chicago. That means you're guaranteed the Blackhawks are gonna be on. There truly is no choice if your a fan of any other team.In our time of on demand and hundreds of channels, why can't the NHL get a partnership on a cable network. The NBA broadcasts about two or three games a week on TNT. Baseball has a game on ESPN three or four nights a week. It's frustrating for hockey fan like myself. Until there is a network that people actually have on basic cable the NHL will struggle to gain advertisement dollars. I guess we'll just have to wait until New Years when NBC resumes it's game of the week coverage.
