No TV make Homer something something.
Nope! This isn't a Simpsons post. It's hockey! (everyone leaves)
Anyway, the players union finally ratified the NHL's new CBA today. This is great. Now, aside from local and basic broadcasts, the NHL needs to look for a TV contract. ESPN isn't going to pick them up because, well, why should they? Their ratings actually showed slight improvement in the makeshift programming aired to replace the labor-strangled NHL. So what's to be done for a league having a hard time drawing a 1.0 rating? Well, it seems there are many options.
Personally, I'd flip if the HBO suggestion ever became reality. But it won't. Yet another dream that will have to be shelved until a later date.
