OLN not ESPN takes NHL

Hockey fans can now embrace the Outdoor Life Network and smack ESPN upside the head with a puck, because the former will be airing NHL games for the next two seasons while ESPN, well, won't. Of course, ESPN insists it's all business. The seminal sports network dropped the NHL after the lock-out last year, and while it maintained the right to match offers made by other stations, it decided not to match the $135 million offered by OLN, claiming that the ratings history and "prolonged work stoppage" simply wasn't worth it.TV Squad Hot Topics
