Playoff hockey to not be televised to some in USA

I have charter and center ice. But after the first couple rounds, it won't be on Center Ice any more. I filled out the petition and sent one to my dad as well.

Doesn't like NBC or some national stations get the 3rd and 4th round anyways? I guess I am lost as to where the benefit of Versus even comes into play during the playoffs. I don't recall catching a single game on versus last playoffs.

That's probably because they were playing the Grease and they were on CBC.

I actually remember last spring watching VS and seeing some great coverage on a lot of games. I distinctly remember being impressed by the broadcasts. They had great commercials, great pre/intermission/post game segments, and the broadcasting team of emmerick and JD (now the blues operator) really made the games exciting and interesting. I liked seeing the NHL get serious coverage, and get more than one commercial.

One of the few things I do miss from ESPN though are those hilarious Dooger commercials?? Anyone remember those?? haha.

first off. Lose the caps in your title thread. No need to yell. second, this should be posted in rumors since it is a blog or buzz that you are getting this from. No serious source.

Too much spare time, eh?

How much does the TV version cost nowadays?

$150 if you ordered it before the season started. Then I think it went up to something like $170-$180. At mid-season it dropped to $119, and I think it dropped again a month or so again. It just depends on what part of the season you order it.

I always order Center Ice the first day its available so I get the early bird discount ($150 for the entire season).

i just got off the phone with charter. if you call them you can make some kind of formal protest. i think thats what he called it. a protest memo. i urge everyone to do this.

i also tried talking to a rep online. don't waste your time. i talked to someone called "belinda." she wasn't helpful and she's not good at english.

i believe you man, but whats the source? is it confirmed?

I don't have any links, but FSN has been covering the first two rounds of the playoffs for a couple seasons now. CBC always covers the Conference and Stanley Cup Finals. I don't really know what NBC and VS will be doing outside of the Finals.

That's a relief. I really didn't want to have to go out every game because I don't have Vs...

yeah, i have FSND and the CBC so i think i should be able to get all of the games.

i would hope that CBC does regional stuff. all i care about is the red wings playoff games.

i mean yeah, itd be cool to watch others, but the wings come first
