Free Center ice doesn’t help when Versus has exclusive rights to nine Red Wings games. Sigh. Still praying this gets resolved. Been emailing and calling DirecTV.

I hope that Versus lets DirecTV show at least the opening night games.
Many Avs fans will be pissed if they don’t.

Avsrock - Sharks fans will also be pissed.

That’s true Mike. As well as Caps and Buins fans.
This whole thing is stupid.
I can’t believe it! One of the few West Coast games they play on that stupid channel and millions are going to miss it.
Just to twist the knife a little. I read that Comcast customers are getting the Center Ice package for three weeks as a free preview.
Those of us with DirecTV are hosed for opening weekend.
Sports bar, here I come!

I think a lot of NHL fans are still unaware of the Vs. vs. DTV issue, and are about to become acutely aware of it tonight and tomorrow. You think their call centers are busy now, just wait.
