Curse them

Curse you Versus!!!


Versus praising them? I don't get it...who are you cursing?


So the Versus network has "exclusive" rights to televising the Stanley Cup Playoffs...when they darn well choose. This means that occasionally, games will be on other networks, and sometimes not. They decided last night to show a double-header, featuring the Bruins/Sabres game, followed by the Kings/Canucks game. Keep in mind that Versus decided not to show the Canadiens/Capitals game in the early match, so that game was available on another network. This is all well and good until the Bruins and Sabres decided to go to Double Overtime to solve things.

The timelines overlapped at that point, and the fine folks at the Versus Network decided to stay with the coverage of the Sabres/Bruins game and overlook the start of Kings/Canucks. Also well and good, since we've all learned our lesson from the Heidi Bowl. Where I get upset is during the intermission between the first and second OT's of Sabres/Bruins...when we got treated to the morons in the studio talking about hockey as an intermission show...instead of showing the perfectly good hockey that was being played in Los Angeles. Why? WHYYYY!??!?!

Jerks.
