Raw Charge, a Tampa Bay Lightning community

If one online report is true, the NHL pushed or the Hurricane Sandy-related charity hockey game in Atlantic City not to be televised.

The media narrative seems to be set: Guy Boucher is the bad guy, the Lightning are fiends, and the Philadelphia Flyers are heroic for taking a stand -- by stalling -- against them.

How do you ruin the translation of the National Hockey League to television? By trying to do too much, show too much, and "innovate" while forgetting there is a sporting event to cover.
