dear gary bettman dish network
i hate you.
i don’t have OLN. you removed it from my dish package as soon as you inked the tv deal with the NHL. this means i have missed the entire NHL playoffs for the second year in a row. they might as well not even be happening, since the only clips i see are the 9-second game recaps on sportscenter. i guess i should be happy that i, at least, get ESPN, you bastards. to make matters worse:
OLN has the first two games of the Stanley Cup final before NBC takes over for Games 3 through 7. [depressing source]
awesome job, people. the average subscriber gets to see two to five playoff games this year. you have ruined a second NHL season in a row for me, not to mention my whole life.

curtis, call hugo chavez. tell him the common people–those who don’t have the benjamins to subscribe to an obscure outdoor nature channel–urgently need his help.
That’s odd. My cable company struck a deal with OLN to add a channel for the lower tier customers to be able to watch playoff games on OLN.
Maybe you should be talking to the dish company instead of Bettman.
thanks. i have changed the post to apportion blame where it is really due: dish network.
