NHL Made The Right Move In Dumping ESPN

I have no idea why The Globe & Mail’s Bruce Dowbiggin thinks now is a good time to wonder if the NHL made a mistake in leaving ESPN years ago. Especially with the news of The Score Radio shutting down, CTV announcing Olympic plans and the Sports Gemini Award nominations coming out. Then again, this is a guy who criticizes Charles Wang in the same article and encourages him to spend his own money. Too bad Wang already proposed that many years ago and Nassau shot it down. I could have a field day talking about Dowbiggin’s writing (BTW Bruce, it’s NBC Sports Network, not NBC Sports Channel. Since you “signalled” that in April, you should get it right when it’s announced. Or maybe, you didn’t signal it after all) but I’ll stop there. Puck Daddy put up a great article on the same subject in response to Dowbiggin and I’d like to throw in my two cents too. Since it won’t all fit into PD’s or G&M’s comment pages, I’ll use this blog to do it.
