NHL and ESPN in talks to bring back hockey in '08?

From the Sports Business Journal The NHL and ESPN may be talking preliminarily about bringing the game back to ESPN for '08-'09. Evidentally the new ESPN VP of Content, John Skipper, is more hockey friendly than the old guy Mark Shapiro.

One can only hope they can work something out so that more people outside of the traditional hockey towns in the US and Canada can enjoy hearing more about whats going on with hockey other than low ratings.
