NBC has announced their NHL schedule today, and it’s not all Chicago, Pittsburgh and Washington games. NBC is going in a bold new direction by chasing the good teams, the good young players, and giving up on its tired, old “Rivalry Night” concept.
They’re also showing more games than they ever have, which bodes well for the strength of the league and the size of future salary caps. Revenue makes the cap go up, and Leafs fans have to be cheering on rising HRR as much as they do the Leafs if they want long-term success.
