Okay, well maybe the Flyers aren't directly responsible for the fact that Versus went dark on DirecTV at 12:01 a.m. this morning. That complete and utter dickmove was facilitated by Comcast, owner of Versus and your Philadelphia Flyers.While I feel a little tinge of sympathy for Delaware Valley residents and Philadelphia ex-pats affected by Comcast's decision to play hardball with DirecTV, at least most folks impacted by this development don't have to go too far to find a friend, family member, or neighborhood bar to catch the games on Verizon or Comcast (in the tri-state area, at least).In fact, I applaud Comcast for creating a situation that will bring people together to enjoy hockey (snicker).What I am absolutely delighted about when it comes to this development is that fans of our divisional rivals get totally screwed in the deal.Atlantic Division games on Versus (by team) in 2009-2010:Pittsburgh Penguins - 9New York Rangers - 8New Jersey Devils - 6New York Islanders...
