Oh...to have NHL back on ESPN again...they did a pretty good job with it...and it was easier to find.

There has been some rumblings about how that might possibly happen, especially considering how Versus is tanking and how Comcast doesn't seem to be moving forward very quickly on the US version of NHL Network that was supposed to be part of the deal.
I'd like Thorne (and maybe Clement, if NBC would let him go) back. I would rather not have The Mouse treating the game as a fourth-class citizen again, considering they have significant baseball, basketball, and football deals. So I'm torn: I want the game to expand because I truly feel it's the greatest game in the world; I don't trust ESPN to help them, but there is no really viable alternative if Versus keeps tanking.
