I'm sure the average construction worker/office guy/whatever doesnt appreciate being pissed on like this from thier satellite provider. An extra $129 a month just to see hockey cant be justified by most average working people.

Oh for sure, I hear ya. I was kinda surprised when espn made their decision to bail. Its also not 129 a month, it's 129 for the whole season and the first 2 rounds of the cup. 129?, shit I wouldnt spend it, if that were the case. But for 129 you do get a fuck load of hockey everyday. I never watched OLN so I didnt miss it, but I see them as trying to take advantage of the diehards, but turning off the occasional fan that would tune in.
