Gary Bettman Is Under Fire From Fans After Recent Move
As the NHL kicked off its Global Series, featuring games in Sweden over the next week, fans were eager to witness the unique setting.
However, a significant disappointment unfolded as many enthusiasts found themselves unable to watch the games.
For viewers beyond Ottawa, TSN imposed a blackout on their coverage of the inaugural global series game between the Senators and Red Wings.
Notably, agent Allan Walsh took a swipe at the league for this oversight, emphasizing the contradiction in blacking out content when the goal is to expand the game.
In the pursuit of growing hockey's global appeal, such TV restrictions seem counterproductive.
Hopefully, upcoming Global Series matches will be nationally broadcasted, providing more North American fans access to overseas games in fervent hockey nations.
