The WJC doesn't coincide with the NHL playoffs.
Well **** me. The WJC is much more exciting and important than the WC... .The games are in Slovakia. The evening matches start at 20:15 CET which is 14:15 EST. I'm sure VS won't have a playoff game and a WC game coincide. And even if there was an NHL game at that hour while VS was broadcasting the WC, I'm sure they would just cut from the WC to NHL in the middle of it all.
This thread is about the 2011 men's world championships. Not the WJC.
Well **** me. The WJC is much more exciting and important than the WC... .
exciting - yes
important - not so sure, not for the rest of the world it's not, so get on the bus.
So, no non US games?
The network reports that it will televise a substantial amount of games from the tournament, “including four preliminary-round games, at least three qualification-round games and at least one quarterfinal game.” Versus says that it will air every game by the U.S. team if it advances beyond the first round, but even if it doesn’t make it to the semifinals, the network will still air those two games (on May 13) as well as the gold medal game (May 15).
VERSUS’ preliminary round coverage of the 2011 World Championships is as follows (all times ET, subject to change):
Saturday, April 30 — USA-Austria (Live) — 10 a.m.
Monday, May 2 — USA-Norway (Live) — 10 a.m.
Tuesday, May 3 — Canada-Switzerland — TBD
Wednesday, May 4 — USA-Sweden — TBD
So same schedule as rumored before, but Sweden is included. Neat
Would be neat if they reran a few in the afternoon or something
You mean Canada? I thought ever since the news leaked VS planned to air all the Team USA games.
Although it's interesting that Versus doesn't commit to televising the Relegation Round games if we end up there again.
