Puck the Media’s Official Stanley Cup Playoff Round Two Mega-Schedule
April 29, 2009 11 Comments
In case you’re wondering, that Wings/Ducks Game 5 (The 5:00 PM one) isn’t airing on VERSUS because that network will be airing IndyCar qualifying.
And NBC has The Players Championship that weekend. It’s just… impossible… for them… to do anything right.
Here it goes folks, enjoy. All times ET.

Puck The Media 
nbc is just dispicable. Why do they even bother? what a waste of time for all of us. I think they exist just to make the VS broadcasts halfway decent. VS is doing what they can, but don’t get excited about all the “joined in progress”. They’ll make us sit through that ridiculous “Hockey Central” show for a while (while play is going on in the 2nd game) before they go join it. The NHL needs to put games on another channel like VS (not ESPN please!) or the NHLN. Then things would be great and we can concentrate on making the broadcasts better so people like myself and others I know don’t have to watch games with the sound off.
The NHL should put Game 5 of Detroit/Anaheim on the NHL Network. That’s the only thing that makes sense. Not to show that game nationally would be a crime.
The NHL doing something sensible and putting a game on the NHL Network???
Don’t hold your breath…
I’m moving to Detroit on Thursday so I can finally start watching the games that are on CBC so I don’t have to watch so much Versus!
I envy you Sonic!!
Enjoy the coverage Sonic. Just think a Stanley Cup Playoffs season without Joe Beninatti! Lucky You!!!
So, as a Bruins fan living in Washington DC, I really don’t have much of a chance catching a game as versus coverage blacks out due to local programming. Instead of showing the Bruins/Carolina game because of this local coverage, I will instead get ultimate fighting re-runs. Well…at least I get this in progress coverage. Yeah…that should work out splendidly.
And why doesn’t the NHL Network show playoff games. I pay for this??
Those TSN2 games of the Wings/Ducks series are also on RDS. That’s great for me as I could have been shafted again.
Even better for Canadians: CBC swaps Game 6 of Washington/Pittsburgh to TSN in return for Game 1 of Red Wings/Ducks!

So, basically because I have hillbilly cable in Southern Indiana…. I can’t watch the Blackhawks vs Canucks EVER?? Chicago is only 6-7 hours away, but the games won’t be on MY television.
If the NHL wants growth in television viewers and ratings and fans…. they have to have games on a channel that the majority of people actually GET!
NBC can bite me — golf??? you have to be kidding? This is the STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS!
