That’s a good point. They do often focus on the big stars and the big teams, but I can understand why: they are just trying to draw in as many viewers as possible. I actually think NHL on NBC is the worst.

I haven’t had any major issues with Versus programming, but then I don’t rely on it for my hockey fill. I have heard that they actually get the best ratings when Buffalo and Minnesota play, but I don’t know how many times they get shown in relation to so say Pittsburgh.

Thanks again for the praise! We appreciate your comments.

Thanks for reading my e-mail on the episode! Just to clarify, though ESPN does not air any actual games, my frustration with them stems from their coverage of the league. If the game does not involve Crosby, Ovechkin, or the Red Wings, they do not seem to be interested. My beef with Versus is similar. I appreciate the times Buffalo is featured on Versus, but too often their “Game of the Week” features at least one of the aforementioned teams from my previous posting.

Again, thanks for reading my e-mail on the episode, and keep up the great work!
