Last year VS dropped the ball IMO by not covering the draft. Any idea if it'll be televised this year in the States and if so, by who???
The first round will be conducted Friday, June 22, and broadcast live on VERSUS in the United States and TSN and RDS in Canada, beginning at 7 p.m., ET.
Last year VS covered the first round (well, the first 29 picks, they cut out before the 30th) and they're doing the same this year.
I am not sure but my best guess would be TSN will air it live on their site.
7pm start really sucks if your a European fan like me, thats a Midnight or 1am start
Do you not have Tivo in Scotland? C'mon lad, take a few steps into this century . You could go to bed, wake up in the morning and watch the draft over a nice plate of Haggis!
BAH, the draft should be a Saturday morning thing!
no kidding, yet another dumb scheduling move.imo
i wonder what the logic is in changing it from saturday morning.
The logic is simple.... ratings are higher in the evenings than on a Saturday morning. Any regular US sports fan might flip through it at night, decide it's somewhat more entertaining than a boring baseball game between KC and Tampa Bay, and get hooked on hockey (at least that's the hope). Guaranteed the casual sports fan won't be doing that on a Saturday morning.
Ratings and exposure my friends.... every tiny bit helps!!!!
isnt that available for people in canada only??
