ESPN, FOX, and VERSUS are all horrible. The local stations and CBC are way better. Remember the "NHL on FOX"? God, those announcers were somehow worse than VERSUS. They got super excited over everything, had that stupid color radar puck scheme, and those ridiculous robots. I do not miss those days...

Yep, I remember the FoxTrax and the Robots, Fox didnt use the glow-pucks their last season with the NHL, those things lasted like 5 minutes. I dont know what the point of of using the robots were for, but Fox uses them for the NFL as well.

Definitely a low-point in sports broadcasting history. I was fairly young then and even I was wondering why the hell there were transformers in my hockey broadcast.

ESPN is all about making sure nobody else gets a stray nickle. What they have done with rights to College hockey is a real sore spot with me. They don't really want to show hockey, and they want to make sure nobody else does either. nice.

<< Here's a grand solution....Center Ice Package!!!>>

We were going to get this, BUT, our cable provider (Charter) doesn't offer it in our area. Because of that we are seriously considering switching to direct tv.

You should...cable just sucks anyway. The ONLY reason anyone should still have cable is if they really want the extra bit of bandwidth for internet over dsl.
