VIDEO VOID

My family was going to stay home tonight and watch the bread winner ply his craft, but there was a problem. I have Dish Network.

A problem? But Dad's on FSSW - and in HD to boot. Sorry, Stars/Ducks isn't available - not on Dish anyway.

Oh, but the game is also being broadcast on The NHL Network is it. Not at the Reaugh household it isn't. Remember, I have Dish, and the NHL Network is blacked out because of the FSSW broadcast - that I don't get.

So the Razor women will have to choose between a) Going to a sports bar to see it (Kendyl might have trouble - she's 8), b) Watching other programming at CasaReaugh (say maybe Project Runway or Biggest Loser), or, c) Follow it through the greatness of radio on The Ticket. (that's what they did. Now I have to explain who Corby is)

So is my problem a Dish issue, or a league issue, or a Fox Sports Southwest issue, or a Stars issue, or all of them, or what?

This hockey viewing pickle I find myself in is at it's least - confounding, at it's worst - embarassing.

I'm not a marketing major - but my wife is, and therefore I am aware that the first rule of marketing your product is to make sure that people don't have to work to find you - cause if they do they'll probably turn their attention elsewhere, and may never look back.

Oh, and for those of you who also have Dish, the Stars rallied to beat the Ducks 3-1.
