Growing The Game - Hockey HotStove

For all the talk from Gary Bettman about "growing the game," I can't understand why none of the Stanley Cup Finals games were available on free TV in the United States (the first season it has worked out this way in quite a while). It's hard to have a presence with casual sports fans when you don't make the games available to everyone, thus the drop in viewership in the U.S. for this year's Finals.
