TV Schedule for Cup Finals

No rest for the weary. Both teams are banged up and could use a little time off but nevertheless the Stanley Cup Finals begin on Saturday. The kicker is the lack of time off following Game 1 as they take to the ice again on Sunday.  Here is the complete schedule of games and TV listing:

Date Location Time (ET) TV
Saturday, May 30 Detroit 8:00 pm NBC, CBC
Sunday, May 31 Detroit 8:00 pm NBC,CBC
Tuesday, June 2 Pittsburgh 8:00 pm Versus, CBC
Thursday, June 4 Pittsburgh 8:00 pm Versus, CBC
*Saturday, June 6 Detroit 8:00 pm NBC, CBC
*Tuesday, June 9 Pittsburgh 8:00 pm NBC, CBC
*Friday, June 12 Detroit 8:00 pm NBC, CBC

*Denotes "if necessary" situation

**You didn't think the NHL would have it completely figured out did you?

97.1 just confirmed the reason for the back-to-back games...

The stated that NBC doesn’t want to time and length of the game to conflict with Conan O’brien’s first show as the host of the Tonight Show. LOL…what a bunch of bull crap.

That was the reason why the original plan was for the week-plus delay. NBC didn’t want to risk a sports broadcast running long on O’Brien’s debut week.

If nothing else, it reminds the NHL of the abusive relationship they have with their television partners.

HAHA!

Pittsburgh is stuck with VS. for their first two home games!

worse

It’s worse than that. Since NBC won’t let them air the games on their channel on the big screen at Mellon, the two that they could have aired are the two they’ll be playing at home.

no FSN?

Is FSN going to have the SCF games? I thought they did last year, after 2nd/3rd exclusives for Versus. Is my memory that bad?

While I’m commenting, for those in Detroit area that get CBC, does anybody get it in HD, and if not is your picture quality TERRIBLE? I mean it’s like watching those old grainy video clips of hockey from the 60s.
