cant till 2/11

one of the few Hawk games I can see

 

[GKJ]

Some interesting selections on there. Nice to see NBC broadening out to include games that don't include one of the Flyers, Rangers, Avalanche or Red Wings in it. Including a Blackhawks/Blue Jackets game?

 

[Guy Legend]

Also interesting to see that the games have been moved to Sundays. A wise decision, as most casual sports fans are programed to watch sports on Sunday afternoons....

 

[Brazilian Avs Fan]

When will they care about international fans??????????

Amen brother

 

[Stevedude530]

By the way, Florida, Minnesota, Nashville and Phoenix are the only teams that don't appear.

 

[octopi]

I just wish they'd let us choose which ones to see, but they only show it on the one channel even tho I have digital cable with msnbc

They are not the only teams that don't appear- no Canadian teams or much at all of western teams. I am a Yotes fan and they get not even one game on NBC and are completely out. Of course you have to have 11 Pens games to show Crosby between OLN and NBC- too much emphasis on the eastern teams in my opinion.

Yes it is a wise decision BUT some of these will have to compete with ABC NBA games and NASCAR on FOX on some of those dates.

There is never going to be a time when there is not competition from some other sport- even during the playoffs you are competing with the NBA playoffs. Baseball really has it the luckiest in the summer for the most part.

wow (really).

I'll mark my calendar for games that are televised after the season is 3 months old.

NBC isn't really beating down the NHL's door demanding to broadcast more games are they?

Why would NBC broadcast games during the Pro and college football seasons? That would be like pissing in the wind.

Wat are u talking bout josh College football will over by the time the NHL On NBC starts and the NFL Playoffs will showing later in the day when the games are finishing up.

Read the poster I quoted. Who complained that they don't start the broadcast schedule until 3 months into the season. I pointed out why the waited until three months in. They would get pummeled by pro and college football during the first 3 months of the NHL season. You thought I was worried about football as ratings competion in Jan-April? I'm dumb but not that dumb

 

[Hire Sather]

non-regional games aired on Centre Ice like last year?

 

[Shoalzie]

I would assume so...

Who did the Blue Jackets have to sleep with to get on NBC three times?

I have to say, TV needs to stop hyping up the Wings-Avs matchup...it hasn't been a hot rivalry in the last few years.

Yea, hockey is the only sport that has half its season not aired because it conflicts with another sport or sports.

The NBA does as well. ABC has a christmas day game and then doesn't have a telecast until Jan 21.

 

[Spydey629]

Not to mention baseball, which Fox doesn't start Game of the Week coverage until Memorial Day, when the season is already two months old.

 

[Rattrick]

Is it me or is NBC just an extension of MSG? All I ever saw last season was the Rangers and if by chance they weren't on, it was the Devils.

I agree with you. I'm just pointing out that hockey is so weak, they can't even get weekend games during football season.

I mean on Saturday, college football is not on ALL networks at the same time is it? CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, OLN (I don't really want to count OLN yet because I will not pay more $$ for it) are not broadcasting football at the same time.

The NHL can't market itself at all? Last year didn't the NHL basically give their broadcast rights to NBC and any payments to the NHL would be based on NBC's ratings, which were about zero?

Why not try to get a similar "deal" (on any basic channel) from Oct - Jan, for those bored college football fans watching a boring 55-10 blowout, then they might change channels and stumble onto hockey and actually like it. (one can only dream right?)

To answer the question -- YES. (and this is just ABC/ESPN:

I thnk this is more of a case of how strong football (in this case college) is. No sport runs network games during this time. MLB has practically 0 national broadcast games on FOX during september on Saturdays, (I think it is only 2 the last 2 weeks of the season but before that FOX takes a break) and that is the stretch run of it's season.

 

[OG6ix]

Did the NHL re-up their bargain basement deal with NBC?
