Sunday is one of the greatest single-day hockey lineups ever.
What do people think of the announcers on “the networks of NBC” and CTV? Personally, I’ve become less impressed with Kenny Albert during these games, for the amount that I listened to him. Dave Strader would have been a much better choice.
Am I reading correctly that NBC is actually showing a hockey game on the main network tomorrow? How surprising is that? I wonder will the show the whole game of just bits and pieces…
I still can’t believe Kenny Albert got the nod over Dave Strader.
I still cant believe the Canada-US game is on something called MSNBC?
I understand that this game had to be in prime time for Canada.
THis game should start at 7pm et. NBC should televise it. If the game ended by 9:30pm, they would still have an hour and half to televise the awful ice dancing.
they could put the skiing on between periods.
I have a feeling that NBC will do a live look-in for the game tomorrow night. But in their packaged format, there may not be much time devoted to it (maybe a post-game interview taped for NBC). Considering that the west coast is tape delayed, it is better for hockey games that are NOT on NBC itself.
