On Versus, Gary Bettman Can't Follow His Own Advice

What you need to do in the future, when you make your reservation, call and say, 'Do you get Versus?' If they say no, then you should say, 'You should get Versus or I'm not coming,' and go to a different hotel.

Gary Bettman, May 12, 2009

The Wings found themselves in the same boat while staying in Chicago when seeking to watch the Eastern Conference final between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Carolina Hurricanes.

"I haven't even seen a game yet" Osgood said. "The hotel we were in doesn't have Versus."

Here’s the problem: Bettman has argued repeatedly that the impetus should be on viewers demanding Versus every in their purchase decisions. However, the teams themselves, who could influence this decision, don’t even bother. If it’s not important to a team, it’s not important to the fans. Further, it’d be easy for the league to tell teams that they have to do it.

And please watch the language.
