Yep, that's right, the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils will be the only 2 teams gone unseen on Versus. While it is certainly good to see Versus expand their coverage as much as they are and are trying to show us as many games as possible, it seems a bit odd that they are leaving off an entire series for now. But I guess that is what happens when you play on the same days as Sidney Crosby. Now once series start ending, then there will be adjusting of the schedule and games that were not initially on Versus will be appearing on Versus and what not, so just because it does not appear on the surface that the Flyers won't be on Versus, that could all change by the end of things.
T^V Schedule changes for Wednesday:
ReplyDeleteFlyers-Devils, CSN, 7:30 PM
76ers-Magic, CNP, 7 PM
Nats-Phils, PHL 17, 7 PM
I'm mildly surprised by NBC and CBC's scheduling decisions. NBC goes w/ Sabres and Bruins for their Eastern Conference game instead of the Pens/Sens or Caps/Habs.
ReplyDeleteI'm more shocked CBC didn't pick the Habs/Caps series (TSN did). Game 2 is Saturday night, perfect for HNIC. Montreal has more fans in Canada than Ottawa by far.
I'll watch the CSN D.C. feed here anyway but the networks must think the Caps will win in 4 or 5 games.
@ Al: I think that is exactly what CBC was thinking with that one. They have a complete hard-on for Vancouver and they must have really liked Olympic national hero Sidney Crosby against a Canadian team. As popular as they are, the Habs backed into the playoffs, are up against the President's Trophy winner, and CBC likes the other teams/matchups better.
ReplyDeleteI thought everyone knew NBC would avoid showing a Canadian team for as long as possible. Them picking Buffalo and Boston really shows how little pull New Jersey has as a TV attraction.
ReplyDeleteSixers-Magic is an 8 PM tip BTW; still on CNP.

ReplyDelete@ JC: Honestly, I don't give 2 shits about the Sixers. Hardly ever have before, probably never will again.
ReplyDelete@kt I thought if there was a marquee U.S. team v. any Canada team matchup, NBC might take it like in the past (DET/EDM in '06PIT/OTT in '07). I was wrong. I guess they want no more NBC/CBC scheduling controversies.
