Stupid question here, but is NHL Network just vintage games and stuff, or is it kind of like Center Ice in Canada, as in it shows tons of games in the current season?
I am considering getting it and I have Comcast cable.
No schedule as of yet. Bettman would only state the contract says it has to be within 24 months.
Bettman also stated NHL Network will have live games, at least 1 per week.
The network revolves around the main program "On the Fly" which is a nightly look around the NHL. If you've been watching the NFL Network's this pre-season, "No Huddle" is modelled after "On the Fly". The show focuses on live action and highlights throughout the night, and then recaps everything at the end of the night. Its a great show for poolies to keep track of the league.
With no games right now, here's a look at the network's schedule for this week:
