      Let's just wait and see if nesn has same restriction. Maybe FSN north went on the cheap and didn't pay enough for national coverage

        An official "cram it" to ESPN for this. Those of us rural without cable (and thus ESPN3 access) got hosed. We purchase the sports tier package from DTV, and unfortunately ESPN blocked that today. We've enjoyed watching Minny, Sconnie, and UND games on the regional tier all season (along with the local/regional CCHA games on FS Detroit), today the scumbags at ESPN played scrooge for hockey fans. (Of course, they will accommodate their east-of-Hudson fan base by showing the Boston games on their network...) Not really much of a "national" network, they always play provincial to the NE when they can.

          The day when this network loses the rights to televise the games can't come soon enough. Year after year, their interest level drops -- moving more content to ESPNU and the online ESPN3 -- but this blackout of those of us "outside the FSN North footprint" is the ultimate slap in the face.

          Jeers indeed!

            Don't be so hasty to blame ESPN for this. FSN north may be to blame still

            Or blame your ISP for not carrying espn3

              Every year this happens and every year ESPN doesn't care. Call them, they'll tell you as much.

              Uh, no. FSNN can only show the game in the 5 state area. ESPN's decision.

                Be like me and figure out a way to weasel your way into ESPN3 since your ISP, like ESPN, sucks and doesn't care.

                      My guess (hope) is that they don't. Altitude was able to broadcast in Indiana. ESPN hates FOX Sports. They probably don't hate the stand alone regional networks in the same fashion.

                        I really don't think ESPN would discriminate like that. Is nesn doesn't have the restriction. Then I think it's a FSN north cop out

                          ESPN are the ones moving the NCAA selection show and one of the Frozen Four semis to ESPNU. They're the network moving the finals off ESPN to ESPN2 for the first time in decades. They're the ones moving more and more content to ESPN3, which, no matter how good it looks, doesn't approximate an actual HD television feed. Put it all together and the big picture is this tournament is becoming even less important than it was before to them. The coverage is being reduced, harder to find, and now we've got blackouts. This is a good thing?

                          Why blame someone else? They gobble up all the NCAA rights in order to get their hands on the money generating sports, then spit all over it like today when they don't give two ****s about enabling people like dish consumers who are the only ones who actually WANT to see these games!

                          I get they don't care, that their ratings for the hockey are so miniscule they could care less -- most of us realize that. But why make it harder for loyal die-hard fans by blacking out FSN North? This, right here today, is the real reason why people hate them so much.

                            Blame the nba lockout for one of the semis on espnu
                            Blame the change of regular season baseball scheduling for the finals switch to the duece

                              That being said,I long for the days where every regional game was syndicated without restrictions or pre emptions
