Well, at least I actually get OLN, but I'm not sure how the network and hockey mesh too well. Hopefully they don't preempt the games for hunting and fishing shows...

"Tonight, we informed the NHL that we did not accept their final contract offer," ESPN and ABC Sports president George Bodenheimer said in a statement. "We worked very hard to build and sustain our relationship with the league and would have liked to continue. However, given the prolonged work stoppage and the league's TV ratings history, no financial model even remotely supports the contract terms offered."
