A Look at the U.S. National TV Coverage for NHL Teams in the 2024-25 Season
With the 2024-25 NHL season on the horizon, this was originally set to be my first hockey story in preparation for that year. A couple of days ago, I was on Instagram and found a post from Daily Faceoff, a site that discusses hockey, and I saw a pic that detailed the number of national TV games in the U.S. for each of the NHL's 32 clubs. In any league, it is always an honor to be on national TV. Of course, the NFL is the only one of the main leagues who doesn't do the regional sports network (RSN) thing, instead using regional coverage for early and late games on Sundays. MLB, the NHL, and the NBA do use RSNs, and they do save national coverage for select days.

The Legend of Johnny Hockey
This wasn't supposed to be my first NHL story with the season closing in. So we all heard the news on the evening of August 29, 2024, and sadly, it became official on the following morning. On that night, Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, were killed while riding their bikes in their home state of New Jersey--a drunk driver took both of their lives. Two lives robbed from us at such young ages--Johnny was only 31, while Matthew was 29. The brothers were at their home state celebrating the wedding of their sister, Katie, but sadly, what was supposed to be a night of joy is marred by a heartbreaking family tragedy.

The change from John Tavares to Auston Matthews is not just a shift in title, but a strategic move that will help push the team toward their goal of succeeding in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This transition symbolizes more than just a new face leading the charge; it represents a critical evolution in the teams, dynamics, direction, and aspirations.

How Difficult is it to Three-Peat?
It's been said that it's hard to win one championship, and it is. However, winning that big one is an amazing feat. Winning back-to-back, that's even better. I've seen my share of back-to-back defending champions in sports, and that's a big moment to enter the season having been on top for two years straight. Of course, winning back-to-back is called a repeat. If a third one follows, we have the iconic "three-peat."
