The NHL should show a game on FOX itself one night a week. Preferably Monday night. Then show additional games on FX. Screw ESPN... but at least give them the rights to re-broadcast portions of games. This would allow them more highlights for recaps and analysis.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2049','Adam0809'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2049','Adam0809','I would like them to go to Fox and ditch Versus altogether.\r\n\r\nThe NHL should show a game on FOX itself one night a week.

So it wouldn't technically be a 930am game... if they got used to the time change. But yeah, the league is shooting itself in the foot with it's favoritism (calling it marketing anymore is a bit of a farce). NJ and SJ aren't the only teams screwed by this, and hit hurts the growth of lesser known franchises. Well... hopefully they'll be forced to show some Devils-Sharks games in June if you know what I mean... *knocks on wood*<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2012','Adam0809'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2012','Adam0809','Well, the game is in NJ as well.

Can't say I'm very surprised, it's too shortsighted an approach to show the same handful of teams. Especially since a NJ-SJ game involves both coasts and NYR-PHI is all one market. The Sharks are probably relieved at not having to play a game at 9:30 WC time though.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2011','Hasan4978'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2011','Hasan4978','Glad you posted, I was wondering what happened with this game cause I knew the deadline was today to announce the flex.\r\n\r\nCan\'t say I\'m very surprised, it\'s too shortsighted an approach to show the same handful of teams.
