Re: Jeers to espn for blocking the games on directv
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.

Re: Jeers to espn for blocking the games on directv
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!

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

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.Last edited by HockeyMan2000; 03-24-2012, 03:32 PM.
