As a tussle between players and owners threatens the National Hockey League's 2004-2005 season, cable network G4techTV is promising to make it happen one way or another by staging video game versions of the games...
"Millions of die-hard hockey fans on both sides of the border are upset," Charles Hirschhorn, CEO of the network, said in a statement. "Until the lockout ends, G4techTV will be there." Video games have frequently been used to re-create key games in real-life sports, with faux Super Bowl and World Series events common--and sometimes uncannily accurate--in predicting real-life results."
