I'd be pretty pissed off if I were a Chicago, San Jose, or Avalanche fan. Joined in progress, and they probably don't get local TV to fill the gap? Very poor planning on the NHL's part, particularly given the Blackhawks' performance this season. And what's with Versus not showing any of the Game 7 matchups?

 

Instead the national audience is going to get Crosby and Ovechkin shoved down their throats.

I'm sure all three have local TV backup. And as for Chicago, well, it's not like they've been faithful fans until recently (cf. Washington), so whatever happens to them, happens. But I'm sure that each team has a local station that will pick up the slack.

I get cbc but unfortunately being west coast and in Canada I doubt very much I'll get to see two U.S. based teams.It'll be a Canadian team vs. whoever they're playing. :wallbash:

Posted

Will any of these games be on MSG then??? Or if I don't get CBC I'm ######?

 

I'd assume all games on MSG. Plus channel 700 for home games like the regular season. Thrs no way they let that advertising $ slip by.

 

I shld b'n n bed by now for class.

The games that aren't on VS will be on MSG. That's the way it has gone in previous years - this year won't be any different. It wouldn't make any sense to not have the games on local TV somehow - and hey, you'll get RJ and Harry instead of the VS guys. I would bet money on this. I have no choice anyway - CBC for me.

Cuum ovr 2 the dark side. TWC.

 

Lol, i dont pay for it, so it doesn't matter to me. It just so happens that i'm going to actually be home on thursday, and i dont get the channel. Luck eh?

Bummer though that the CBC broadcast isn't available in HD on Time Warner. Because if that, I will be watching those games on Versus.

Posted

Damn. I don't know what happened to the part of the post with all 1st round games listed. Can the OP edit this thread and repost them?

 

Thanks

 

 

[edited] Never mind. I found the info and pasted it back in.

To clear things up:

 

For the events that are joined in progress, both NHL Center Ice Subscribers AND local viewers will get the whole game via the Regional Sports Network. The JIP games are just bonus coverage to fill the gap between the end of the early game and the start of the late game.

 

As far as the Sabres games that aren't on Versus, those will be on MSG. As of right now (Monday @ 3pm) only the National coverage schedule has been set. Later today or tomorrow they'll release the Local coverage schedule. Home games will be in HD, away games won't, etc - same deal as the regular season.

(Yes, I'm pissing off the Hockey Gods)

(I don't care)

 

I played with the seedings a bit to figure out who I needed to pull for in the first round. Obviously, I had to assume the Sabres advance and therefore the Bruins don't.

 

If both WAS and NJD advance, Sabres get NJD in 2nd round.

If only one of WAS/NJD advance, Sabres get PIT/OTT winner.

If neither WAS/NJD advance, Sabres get MON.

 

Go Caps and Devils (and of course Sabres)!

Posted

I'd say the East certainly has the more compelling 1st round matchups. BOS/BUF and NJ/PHI are divisional rivalries; WAS/MON matches the Presidents Cup winner against the most decorated NHL franchise; and PIT/OTT may be the jewel of them all.

 

In the West? SJ/COL and VAN/LAK should be entertaining, but the CHI/NAS and DET/PHX matchups sound like yawners.

Posted

Here's a dumb question:

 

 

 

If you have Center Ice, you get em all, correct?

 

 

EDIT: Just called DTV rep and he confirmed that CI subscribers get em!

Correct, but Versus trumps Center Ice (which is unfortunate). Sometimes NHL Network & NBC will trump too.

 

When the last 3 minutes of regulation is going on and Versus chops around from game to game; its nice to stay on Center Ice whenever possible.

I could see alot of EC series going to 6 or 7.

 

SJ,VAN,DET series could all sweeps IMO. If Quick holds it together VAN/LAK could go the length.

Correct sir, I do realize that NBC/VS trumps the CI, but I'll take what I can get!

In the EC, other than the Sabres' series, I'm most looking forward to NJ-Philly. Philly dominated the regular season series between these 2. NJ is consistently good but they look very beatable and have gotten bounced in the 1st round 2 years in a row.

 

In the WC, they all seem about equally entertaining, although I kinda expect SJ and Chicago to win easily.

I guess San Jose/Chicago in the final is the one to wait for, that would entertain me.

20 minutes til the playoffs start. B-)

 

Got both EC games programmed on the DVR, so I won't miss a minute. Love that the start times are staggered a half hour too so we can skip the intermissions.

 

Let's go Pens!

 

Do we discuss tonight's games in here, or should there be a thread for each game?
