I got this from a very credible source...
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! ACTION IS NEEDED NOW!!!
According to sources at the NHL, as of this point, ESPN is not planning on airing the draft lottery on ESPN, ESPN 2, or ESPN News. You may not be able to see this event in the US. We need to utilize all of our forces and get this changed immediately. This should be on ESPN. This Draft Lottery will be one of the greatest events in the history of our sport. Every hockey fan reading this has a serious shot at Sydney Crosby.
I am calling on you now to make your voice heard. The largest number of hockey fans on the internet read this blog every day! We can make this happen...Your voices got the NHL to make the lottery into a TV event. Now let's bring hockey back full force! THIS IS VITAL! This is not just about the lottery, it is about showing ESPN how passionate you are about this sport.
Take time this afternoon and tomorrow and call 860-766 2000 ask for programming, when you're transferred press 0 and leave your rant...Tell them that the draft lottery, at 4pm on Friday, is a huge event and should be covered live on ESPN. TSN, their sister station, is already covering it. All they need to do is flick a switch and take the feed. Also after you call double hit them by emailing askespntv@espn.twdc.com.
I have talk to people on the inside, and you can make this happen...so don't think this is a futile experiment. (This is not me speaking)
THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!!! HOCKEY NEEDS YOU!
I also implore you all to post this message on every hockey related place you visit. Let's use the power of the internet and flood them like never before. If you get a busy signal keep calling.
