Dater on NHL's Opening Night Blackout


Adrian has a solid story up for the Post about the DirecTV / Versus / NHL fiasco which includes a really interesting quote. No, I don't mean the quote from me at the end, but this one from DirecTV's VP of PR:

If we don't have a deal with Versus by the time hockey season starts, DirecTV would certainly be open to putting these games up for our customers while we continue to negotiate

 

Even though Versus responded to that with, essientially, "I know you are but what am I", it's encouraging and is the first real sign that I have seen that there's a chance - a slim chance - that this stupidity will be resolved by opening night. Personally, I think all three parties need to be locked in a room and forced to watch nothing but Versus programming until this whole mess is resolved. Right now we've got "The Buck Stops Here" followed by "Realtree's Monster Bulls". Enjoy!

Just in case

I will post a link on the opening night game in the comments to a website I have found to have good quality live streams. They are showing preseason games even. (Not Avs games though). Some of you may know of it since I linked to them several times last season.

one of the interesting things about Bibbie’s EZ post is that a few of the comments mentioned a site where hockey streams. It looks good, although it’s not free. that’s another option, although definitely post yours on game night (mostly because I’ve forgotten the link)

I believe it's Justin.tv

So long Super Joe. In a class of your own in every sense of the word.

Incorrect link?

yeah

link broken.

Is that some kind of backhanded bloggerslap – make it look like you’re linking to his story, then just actually link to sbnation.com? (just kidding, of course ;-))

Nice quote

BTW.

I'll be there when they lift #19 to the rafters. Will you?
