What we have here, folks, is what you call a misunderstanding.FLYLine88 said:OLN isnt going to convert there entire channel to a 24 hour NHL Network.
GretzNYR99 said:Well, aside from the misunderstanding, I'm going to sort of go off-topic here and ask the other question...
Is THE NHL Network going to be available in the US at some point? Or is it just going to be a Canadian thing. I don't know of any cable providers that carry it. If anyone does, a response would be great.
Drop The Gloves said:I don't know of any providers, but I know the NHL announced that the NHL Network would come to the U.S. this fall.

here's funny story, NBC will not let ESPN use there feed to do highlights or recaps of finals so what nhl i doing is that they have there own sent to espn and this feed is supposly a test poilt for the new nhl network

A few years back, DirecTV announced they were bringing the NHL Network to the states in a press release. It never happened, and eventually they pulled the press release off of their website after trying to deny ever releasing it. The whole truth about that fiasco has never fully come out, as far as I know.
I hope that Comcast plays nice with the satellite providers and gets NHL Network on them, as well as any cable company that wants it. They've been rat ******** when it comes to these types of matters in the past and it will hurt everyone if they play games with this.
Comcast doesn't own the NHL Network. They've just agreed to carry it on its cable system according to the press releases that came out at the time of NHL/OLN TV deal.
If its the same coverage shown on the NHL Network in Canada I really think its a waste. Its not a bad channel in the offseason showing classic games and past drafts but during the season IMO their brutal. The main show is NHL on the Fly and it use to go from like 7pm et to like 11:30 pm et and then last year it went from like 9 pm et to 11:30 pm et and its really supposed to be live coverage from all the games going on but its maybe 1-2 min per game and thats it and you might get 30 min of live game action in total if that. Also they show lots of player interviews pregame and thats ok but the problem is they show it multiple times throughout the show when they could easily show more live game action.
However they did pick up some games during the season it might have been 12 games that was good but Im hoping they can show more games and fix their coverage or else I dont need it
How would what you've described here be "a waste" on national US television (or even elsewhere)?If its the same coverage shown on the NHL Network in Canada I really think its a waste. Its not a bad channel in the offseason showing classic games and past drafts but during the season IMO their brutal.

Hey have you seen the coverage in the U.S.? There are virtually no interviews, highlights or scores even shown on ESPN or any other channel. I would be very happy with that!!
Most avid hockey fans in the U.S. have to get NHL Center Ice to get the games this is more for the extras...not the games themselves.
Someone streamed it to me, and all they did was talk predominantly about the Canadian teams. If they don't adapt the channel to more universal (in terms of teams) the channel will bomb really badly here.
