If ESPN still had the US TV rights, you guys vs. Edmonton would probably get stuck on ESPN Deportes with SPANISH announcers!

I agree no US network market will be concerned or intersest in the games, but exactly how will that get us bad start times? How the US networks feel about our games will be irrelevant to our start times, we will get consistent prime time starts in our time zone tevery night we play.
