Can we blame that on Bettman too? http://www.motorcitysportsblog.com/hockey/no-joe-vision-can-we-blame-that-on-bettman-too http://www.motorcitysportsblog.com/hockey/no-joe-vision-can-we-blame-that-on-bettman-too#comments Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:56:18 +0000 Jeff http://www.motorcitysportsblog.com/?p=217 We’ve got another casualty in 2009′s War on Everything Detroit, and this time it has nothing to do with the auto industry.

For the first time in more than 15 seasons, fans of the Red Wings will not be able to watch a Red Wings playoff game at Joe Louis Arena, a tradition that’s been named “Joe Vision.”

It’s all because the Red Wings couldn’t obtain rights to broadcast the game.

The Detroit Free Press reports a rumor that the NHL’s request to NBC (Nothin’ But Crosby) and CBC was the reason the Wings couldn’t obtain the rights.

Sad, sad news indeed.
