I've seen some speculation that this is a minor retaliation for the league failing to agree to send players to the Olympics ... broadcast on NBC. But if you've looked at the ratings, this makes sense. The numbers just aren't that good for hockey other than in the local markets.
I couldn't give a rat's arse where they decide to televise NHL playoff hockey, as long as I get those channels! The hockey is usually so good this time of year I stay up way past my bedtime most nights!
