Versus is only available on the higher channel packages. Most people don't even know its there.

Very good point...I didn't realize just how low Versus is on the totem pole there...geesh, the Dish Network has 2 horseracing channels on it's Top 100, but no Versus.
Something that was mentioned on the Big Show yesterday was that the NHL should perhaps be going harder after the European market for both TV and merch...the thought being that a lot of Europeans already love hockey. Maybe package a combination of the Sat aft HNIC games and the NBC games to to a Hockey Night in Europe and really aggressively sell it in Europe?
