And Bettman said the same thing about Versus. They do a great job covering the games, so if they get into 10 million more homes, there would be no reason to leave. well, hard to say about a canadian theory because hockey was so popular here only a matter of years ago.

Who care about some horses 4 hours before a race? they should have kept with this game. this move has compared to Abc or whoever it was that switched from the superbowl to heidi!!!!!

I think the elague should look for another nation network that would give it the same acclaim as The Preakness or any other sporting event. I think Versus' coverage is much better than NBC and not so coincidently, Versus was in 40 million homes a year ago and is now in 72 million homes. I think the league is way underrated by the national media in terms of fan interest. Hey, how about my conspiracy theory that it is a Canadian-born and bred sport so the media, government, etc. try to keep its exposure and stature to a minimum in this country. Everything else is done under the table in the supposed good ole USA, so why not hockey ratings...Talk to you when college football starts! KEN Hey Larry -
