"The NHL is not airing too many games this year, and last year the T.V ratings was not too much." Hey Gill- have you ever heard of Center Ice- you get just about every single game in tv- how is the league not airing too may games- I realize they are covered by different sources like TSN,CBC,OLN, Fox affiliates, Comcast, etc. but between all these you get most games covered. As far as the second part of the statement about tv ratings, I think this topic has been beaten more that to death I think most would agree. It is going to take a number of years for things to change and for a decent tv contract- who is commish is really not a hugh factor in that in my opinion. Down the road I hope it is someone with a hockey background to take over because I think that is what is needed to balance what Bettman has done which I feel have included many positives contrary to what many would think about his performance. Maybe Gretz will get tired of coaching- I wish.
