QUOTE
By returning from its near-death experience, the National Hockey League has acquired a bit of leverage, which may account for why ESPN2, Outdoor Life Network, Spike TV and USA Network are showing interest in its cable television rights.

The first two are the most intriguing. The mother ship at ESPN sent the N.H.L. packing in May by refusing to execute its option to pay $60 million for the 2005-6 season, then demanding a no-fee revenue-sharing deal that the league rejected.
