    The GREATEST matchup NOBODY will see

    Hey US Television execs, YOU SUCK




    Young vs Old, dynasty vs upstarts, hockey town vs recently almost defunct team. What more could you ask for than what you're getting in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs? Too bad you're not going to get to watch it unless you have satellite and subscribe to obscure OLN or pay extra for VS. Why the hell Fox, NBC, ABC or CBS cannot carry the Stanley Cup finals instead of some **** reality show like American Idol or the Biggest Loser is beyond me. Oh, it's because NHL doesn't get enough ratings, right? How the hell is it going to get ratings if it's on some 3rd rate channel ran out of some hoser's mother's basement? Maybe NBC will pick up a weekend afternoon game unless they decide to rerun some 80s movies again for the 10th time this year.

    4 (1 Ratings)

    Not on a major network for lots of reasons, you don't get to be there unless you PROVE you can get ratings on lesser networks, and because hockey sucks.

    I thought games 3 thru 7 (if necessary) are all going to be on NBC? I still hate to miss the first two games though. I don't think Versus is even an option with time warner cable. I'd gladly pay extra for it.

    Yesterday's **** whoopin' by Pittsburgh was awesome.

    Yeah, I saw the lineup friday on NBCsports.com but now I can't find it and I may or may not have been shitfaced.

    On one hand Gary Bettman has to be salivating over the prospects of FINALLY having 2 marquee teams in the finals (if the Stars don't muck it up) but on the other hand, if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to see it, does it make a noise?
