Three words for NBC: Fuck you too.
In case you missed it, NBC refused to allow its NHL coverage to be shown in the Joe Louis Arena last night. Usually crowds will go to their home arena to see their boys play away during really big games (like the potentially deciding game of the Stanley Cup Finals), but NBC refused to allow that, stating very honestly that they cared more about ratings than being decent human beings. Friday night will be the same for Pittsburgh fans, as they will have to stay home if they want to see the game.
Oh, and Gary Bettman? Fuck you too. You killed an entire season to get the rid of the director of the NHLPA. You think you could apply a LITTLE leverage to allow hockey fans to have the chance to watch their team with a bunch of like-minded individuals? Don't you think this might help generate revenue? But no, you're willing to bend over and take it up the ass (and take all the fans along for the ride) for a tiny televsion contract. You're a fucking crack whore, Bettman.
