2009 Stanley Cup Thread
I hate the TV contracts that prevent games being shown in a team's home market. Versus has been advertising since Thursday that they would be carrying the SJ/Anaheim game tonight. I set my DVR, and went to dinner. When I came back I found 3 hours of recording that was labeled as "NHL Hockey", but was actually bull riding.

It was the right channel according to the cable company's channel guide. But a local cable channel had exclusive rights to the broadcast, and wouldn't allow Versus to show the game here.
