alright so dont know if this has been posted earlier, but espn is horrible. recently there was their annual year in review segment, and a part of that segment is a "in memoriam" for all those sports personalities that had passed away in the past year. now hockey coverage on espn was always lacking, with a mediocre goal on top ten every now and then, or a highlight or two from the previous nights ten games, and to my understanding it had something to do with rights obtained. however, during that "in memoriam" segment, not a single hockey player was named, nor a mention of the Lokomotiv hockey squad (containing ex nhl'rs) lost in the flight crash. this is embarrassing and quite frankly has ruined any little respect for espn that i have left. the personalities covering hockey are quite knowledgeable and i enjoy reading their articles from time to time on espn.com, but their talents would best be served on a another network (nbc sports perhaps?) where the sport can receive more recognition.
