That NHL on ESPN theme is right behind the NBA on NBC for GOAT sports songs.
Didn’t even watch hockey back then but I played the shyt out of this game..the Hartford Whalers goal song
haven’t followed the nhl in a few years but I’ll probably start watching again now
If you brehs never been an nhl game before, you’re missing out

Low key hockey was fun as hell on games. Now that I’m remembering, I recall me and my cousin not knowing what the hell icing was and being confused as hell but still having hella fun

Fox getting NHL back?
When Stephen A. starts giving NHL hot takes
forrealReal question is will Steve Levy go back to being the “A” mic for NHL on ESPN. And if so, does it open the door for Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit to do MNF?
Yea talking to somebody that works at NBC, he doesn’t believe NBC is gonna match the offer FOX is expected to make. Comcast CEO had an interview last week mentioning all the sports properties they want to maintain in new reorganizing with Peacock and USA. NHL was not mentioned at all. Said that might have tough decisions to make in terms of content. I took that as we need to keep SNF and Premier League and NHL
Thing is, NHL would benefit with ESPN+ and Peacock for next several yearsYea talking to somebody that works at NBC, he doesn’t believe NBC is gonna match the offer FOX is expected to make.

Fox ain’t on that streaming gameMaybe FOX/FS1 better fit the cable subs. Since NBCSN is done and its been implied that games will be on USA Network..
icing has changed since then to cut down on injuries
lol up here in canada in 2013 the rights went for 5.2 billion for 12 years
l annual payment of $300 million ($285 million U.S.) which will incrementally increase to surpass $500 million ($474 million U.S.) the final year of the deal, one source familiar with the deal said.

ESPN + is going to be the primary streaming platform is looks like based on the ESPN deal from what I’m reading. I think it just comes down to whether or not NBC wants to keep NHL or not basically so we will see. Most think NBC is sticking around, I’m just not sure based on the moves they have made.
