I know it was a set time long ago, but that Game 4 in Montreal SHOULD be a 7pm start in all fairness. I mean, for God’s sake, the Montreal Canadiens are the oldest team in hockey, and have been playing Saturday night games forever! Its a shame a network that pays nothing at all for rights fees is able to steal the Habs traditional time slot away when the damn game is in Montreal!!
Ok, my rant is over. Enjoy the Conference finals.
Absolutely. Saturday games *in* the US should have their start times dictated by the American networks. In Canada, they should be played on our terms.
Also, I feel compelled to mention that the NBA seems to be ok with having its conference final weekend games played at night. Boston-Orlando goes tomorrow afternoon, but the ones the following weekend are starting at 8:30 ET.
As you reported earlier, TSN is carrying only games 1-3 of the San Jose-Chicago series. CBC announced last night that it has games 4-7.
I like the double header on Tuesday, good for Pacific and Mountain people. The game 5 time in San Jose is excellent. The bad part is that the eastern series has all games at 7:00 Eastern except for game 4. The weekday games are too early for Pac and Mtn people. The games should start at 8:00 to help out since the western games have had their times altered.
But the problem for the NBA is that except for today’s game, all of them are on cable. At least the NHL gets some OTA exposure, even though it sucks for us Canadians. In all reality there is no reason why NBC can’t have 1-2 Saturday night Conference Finals games a year, but it will never happen.
