League nixes Canucks plan to sell Cup parade broadcast rights

[The Bob Cole]

Rough evening, hey Mick. Your first statement.... anything to back it up? To accuse a poster of not knowing what they are talking about, one first must have some knowledge of the topic. Please source your re-buttals.

It was the original report from Boston that leaked it all:

Canucks pitch broadcast rights to Cup parade, NHL says no

After Vancouver won Game 5 by a 1-0 score, the Canucks attempted to sell the broadcast rights to their yet-to-be-determined Stanley Cup parade, according to a league source.

Naturally, that Vancouver will host a Cup parade has yet to be determined. The Canucks must win one of the next two games to win the Cup.

The NHL shot down the Canucks' plans because parade broadcast rights are not subject to sale.

"According to a league source"

aka, someone leaked it out to the press. It was supposed to remain behind closed doors.

according the fan590 canucks owner approached either sportsnet or TSN offering the rights--both head offices are out east---the leak didn;t come from the NHL it came from one of the stations
