That's hilarious.

Nbc could have had an even greater since of humor and put some overflow games on the Olympic Channel!

 

[jkrdevil]

Question, for these as a fan will I be able to call in penalties?

[Aavco Cup]

Ironic also that they are showing game 4?...... after all some players could actually be golfing the next day

 

[Little Psycho]

Maybe they thought those teams would be playing golf in the summer

I swear this happened before a few times.

I swear this happened before a few times.

They've had games on CNBC and NHL Network before, but not Golf Channel. So congrats to the Ducks and Sharks for the dubious honor of being broadcast on the Golf Network!

Why is this happening? Too many games? On a unrelated topic, will Winnipeg's games be on CBC? It does not say on that list.

 

[DickSmehlik]

I am sure the Olympics might have a little to do with this but if more people watched hockey when it is on network TV then it wouldn't have to be relegated to the Golf Network.

NBC owns the golf channel. So it's just another option to have as many games as possible broadcast.

 

[That Habs Fan]

So there WILL be some Habs to watch over the next few weeks.

Sweet!

Winnipeg’s games are on Sportsnet not CBC.

CNBC and the NHL's channel aren't network TV

 

[Roomtemperature]

Finally something exciting on the Golf Channel.

 

[DEVILS130]

Not sure why they can't just use CNBC. Feels like all it is nowadays is Shark Tank and Jim Cramer

 

[BigEezyE22]

They're carrying the Washington series, right?

 

[The Podium]

Both games are on the 18th? Something must be happening that day. Or perhaps competition with the NBA playoffs?

 

[tony d]

To bad to see this. It's good to see all the games being broadcast but on the golf channel? Really?

 

[viper0220]

Winnipeg’s games are on Sportsnet not CBC.

Thanks for the confirmation, rojac.

This is an incredibly underrated comment. +1 to you, sir.

 

[Its a Trap]

Most media see it as a big “f*** you” to the league for skipping the olympics which were NBC’s.

At the same time, however, Golf Channel is much more widespread then NHL Network.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

Is this for real? LMAO

 

[Devils090]

The programming lineup for the others channels during those games on the Golf Channel is laughable too, NBC really sticking it to the NHL
