Media Notes

NHL: Sunshine Network beginning on October 26 will air replays of the Lightning’s eight victories in the Eastern Conference and Stanley Cup Finals from last season. The game broadcasts will be from the NHL’s Canadian TV partners, the CBC and TSN, which have not previously been seen in the U.S. (Sunshine Network)....Red Wings D Chris Chelios, on whether players pay attention to the league’s TV ratings: “Sure we do. It bothers us. Especially when you hear that volleyball is getting higher ratings than hockey. Some cities are never going to be into hockey. I think we’ve let too many teams into the league and that’s the biggest problem now” (SI, 10/11 issue).
