Khan(!)‘s State Of The Game

DD Captain Ansar Khan(!) has posted his written testimony regarding the state of the league, and finds it wanting. He’s got the usual suggestions: bigger nets, more physical play and, yes, a heaping plate of humble pie in the form of a return to ESPN.
Both sides have the option of terminating the deal after this season, and many believe the NHL should go back to ESPN, feeling whatever the league loses in revenue it will recoup in exposure and credibility.
Designated Wing loose cannon Jimmy Devellano disagrees, which is completely insane.
“I’d rather be on a network that cares about our league,’’ he said. “On ESPN, you didn’t know if games were on ESPN or ESPN2, at 7:30 or 10:30 or on what day of the week.’’
To put it mildly, that may be one of the stupidest statements I’ve ever read. You don’t know when the games are on, Jimmy? Well, the games played in the eastern time zone start at 7 or 7:30, the western at 10 or 10:30. Don’t know what day of the week, check the schedule. OLN/VS is a disaster. A frigging disaster and a joke. It’s a USFL-sized example of how far the league has fallen. It’s time to suck it up, take our medicine and get back to The Network.

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
