NHL: Television? Where we’re going, we don’t need television…at least not yet.
Its odd the way things work out. I’ve had a draft written about the failings of the NHL for about a week and a half now. Despite the fact that they’ve seen large surges in NHL playoff viewership on Versus, they still are in need of a major television distribution deal, or a great product [...]
