[Wrestling Fan]

Looks like Canada will be seeing very little of Nash/Det and none of Col/Minn. Oh well, not like either series is interesting to me

[IceRat]

always good to have Center Ice

[Thorondor 33]

Yay I won't get to see any of the Avs games from round 1. Hopefully I do for round 2. :D

[Wrestling Fan]

always good to have Center Ice

TSN and CBC are sufficient

[IceRat]

well your location is "Leaf Nation" so really a tv blackout during the playoffs is just as good for you :p

[bjk311nh]

Well, it looks like I won't be using my Flyers tickets for Thursday :(

That sucks the Philly series starts later than all of the rest.

[DMM77]

I KNEW I could count on YOU to post this when it was released.

[IceRat]

I thought your link was going to be about the Breaking Of The Hoss.

[tragically fish]

speak for yourself bro, I'll find a way to watch it though.

He WAS speaking for himself!! :p

[Paul755]

So the Avs get a JIP game...and We (Altitude) only get 3 of the possible 7...yippe. Plus the home games are 8pm starts...What the Hell is that...

[Wrestling Fan]

well your location is "Leaf Nation" so really a tv blackout during the playoffs is just as good for you :p

Ouch :(

Oh well, I'm a general hockey fan as well, so I'll still get to see great hckey! Scratch that, now I can FINALLY watch great hockey! Damn Leafs :mad:

[Wrestling Fan]

He WAS speaking for himself!! :p

Haha, I was just gonna say that. Glad ya got my back bro :D

[IceRat]

So the Avs get a JIP game...and We (Altitude) only get 3 of the possible 7...yippe. Plus the home games are 8pm starts...What the Hell is that...
you'd rather they be 7pm (local to you) starts with earlier Versus games @ 5:30 and 5:00 (local to you) the same night .... that would be 2 more JIPs with most of those games missed instead of just the opening minutes of the game on the 11th (unless the Wash/Phil game goes into OT)

[Paul755]

I'd rather they be 7pm (Denver time) starts with Altitude getting the main coverage....then again I am a bit of a homer.

[IceRat]

yeah well that is not an option given the fact Versus pays for playoff rights
I know we were out of the playoffs last year but this shouldn't come as any surprise

[ColdDonut]

Go Ducks!

[madcracker]

I have Center Ice but it looks like I won't need it. The best series will be shown on TSN and CBC.

[ColdDonut]

Do they even put playoff games on for Center Ice? they didnt for the NFL channels.

[Noleman]

I love that because I live in the US and dont get Versus I get a grand total of 4 1st round playoff games in only 2 series in the first round.:(

Thanks Buttman!:rolleyes:

[freezerbox]

BOOOOO, no late night game on Saturday night (CBC HNIC April 12)

[WingNut 25]

I'm hoping I'll get some Wings games here on the West Coast. The Ducks games will all be on Fox Sports I'm assuming.

[PrimeBane]

This is why the NHL should give some first round playoff action to Rogers Sportsnet... I bet they'd pick up those other first round series in a heartbeat.

An NHL fans needs about 5 tvs this time of year. :D

[TRDouble]

Do they even put playoff games on for Center Ice? they didn't for the NFL channels.The NFL playoffs stay on major networks because they have major contracts with those networks and with so fewer playoff games than the other major sports -- um, I am not sure about baseball, but at least compared to hockey and basketball -- the major networks control the NFL Playoffs.

Centre Ice is also back to Free Preview mode for the start of the playoffs.

[EDBSIP]

I'm hoping I'll get some Wings games here on the West Coast. The Ducks games will all be on Fox Sports I'm assuming.

I hope so!

Centre Ice is also back to Free Preview mode for the start of the playoffs.

I just got the networks this year so i cant really compare NBA to NHL yet but both MLB and NFL have not had playoff games on the package.

[The_Kid]

Stupid ****ing versus.

[pyrrhonist]

It'll be good, as usual, to enjoy the first few rounds as much as possible with the home broadcasts before it's mandatory Versus time.

Alas, this feels weird again, not seeing Buffalo in the playoffs. Stupid front office. :mad:

Thanks as always for the neat, clear, and well-organized thread for the schedules, IceRat. :cool:

[IceRat]

n/p my friend
I'm sure you'll be supporting the Mrs.' team

[gratzi]

Thanks for posting this!

[PhillyWing19]

Stupid ****ing versus.

Why are you so angry at Versus? :confused:

[The_Kid]

I don't get versus. I got CSN and was able to watch most of the Flyers season. Comcast owns Versus and gave all the playoff games to them. Now I can't even watch a game in my own home that's being played a couple minutes down the street. Everyone has ESPN, mostly everyone in the tri-state area should have CSN, who has Versus that doesn't have comcast?

[pyrrhonist]

n/p my friend
I'm sure you'll be supporting the Mrs.' team

That's the plan, although I have a bit of an affinity for the Ducks...much to her chagrin. :eek: :D

[scotty-eh]

Thanks for posting this schedule.
