From Puck Daddy’s Greg Wyshynski:
Every week, we receive pleas from puckheads with DirecTV who are angry about missing NHL hockey because the satellite provider yanked the Versus network off its airwaves in September 2009.
That “chatter” has increased recently as the chances of missing postseason hockey because of the dispute theoretically increase.
Bad news on that front. We checked in with Versus on Tuesday about the progress of the talks, and a spokesman released the following statement to Puck Daddy:
“At this time, we are not optimistic that an agreement will be in place with DirecTV in time for the start of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.”
