Setting & Mood Music: TSN gets the HNIC theme music, telling us with a self-satisfied tone that they’re pleased to have “saved” the song. Tears of a grateful nation ensue. We are an emotional bunch.

Act 1: TSN announces they’ve got a new network on the horizon—TSN2 starts up on August 29th. (800+ additional hours of live sports coverage coming up? I hear the sound of tractor pulls in our future, but whatever.)

Act 2: TSN hires Ray Ferraro to a national broadcast job. I’m struggling to care, but I’m not distressed about it, either. The news manages to carry the second act without collapsing the set.

Act 3: (still being written) TSN hires… John Tortorella??

This last theory is served up by Damian Cristodero at Lightning Strikes today. Just a possibility.

Tortorella with a press pass is an interesting proposition. Where would he focus his anger at in the future? Although if he just continued to take potshots at the press while being a member of the press, that might make for some damn good television.
