That's because the ratings in Buffalo for them are through the roof. They'd be stupid not to televise us.

That having been said, I'd be okay with zero games on versus. Or versus releasing their schedule before I order my minipack so I know what games to be at :P

you might be ok with it, but not everyone. i, personally feel that versus has come a LONG way since their 05-06 OLN season. they do a good job now.

I like Versus a ton because those are the only games I can watch in Indiana. The rest are typically available online, but the picture is usually craptastic.

Expected opponents when it comes to Versus... No Penguins, though. Hurray!

Versus is based in Philadelphia. We play the flyers, that's bad enough.

I buy center ice online, so i watch pretty much every game anyways. The ones not on center ice are on atdhe or similar.

I like the games on VS. If I really wanna hear RJ and Harry, I stream the WGR feed. I'm a junkie for the olde tyme feel of hockey on the (web-streaming) radio.

Meh, i'm so torn on this. I get center ice, but almost none of the games are in HD. The VS games are on HD but no RJ.

Oh wait...I always miss the obvious solution, i'll just kidnap RJ and make him do the play by play from my couch while we watch the game. I wonder what sort of beer he prefers...

Yeah, good point. I live in Rochester so i get all the games no matter what, but i understand not all people do. It's best for our fanbase to get as many games on national tv as possible. But, having said that, i also have center ice but i do really enjoy versus telecasts. Some of their play by play guys do get annoying, but i really enjoy their intermission reports with Bill Patrick, Keith Jones, and Brian Englom. I think versus does an excellent job now on their games during the week.

I do hope for one day return to ESPN because they do rule the sports in this country, however, i hope it's part of a separate deal then versus. I hope versus remains with NHL for a long time.

The only game I see being televised is the game against the Caps.
