Re: UConn to apply to Hockey East
It doesn't have to be better than the best thing on the air anywhere, it just has to be better than the next best thing the network could put on the air.
Whether it actually is, of course, remains to be seen. NBCSN and CSTV are taking a big gamble on regular season hockey, it has to be said, but if they actually market the sport at all (unlike the ESPN family that treats the sport like a burden to get the stuff it really wants, and wouldn't in a thousand years pick up regular season college hockey), and really play up the 'future stars' angle that might endear it to NHL fans, there might be something here after all.
