Of all the games...

I am not surprised, but I am mad. I wanted to watch any of the 15 million games tonight that has a big impact in the playoff picture. Instead Versus insists on a meaningless game.

Grrr.

Anyone know the links to a good streaming site? I really would like to watch Chicago get thumped by Montreal...

Click the little TV symbol on the right then click play which will open a thread with most games and a stream(or a few) for each game.

Broadcasts are often decided upon weeks and weeks in advance, long before they could've magically guessed any possible playoff implications.

Really silly to get angry over something like this.

While I agree with what you're saying in general, the game is not entirely meaningless. Marioburgh is 3 pts. behind Philly, who is having a little trouble winning as of late. They have the possibility of passing Philly for the division title and getting out of that 4, maybe even 5 slot and moving up to what one would think would be the 2 or possibly the 1 spot in the conference. There is some meaning too this game, though most of us could give a s*** about it. And yeah, throw a foil hat on me, but I don't see the reason to air a game minus a teams 3 biggest newsmakers, when there are several other games of interest that could be better used to help promote the league, and the game. Just my $.02

If the NHL can have a flex schedule with a main network like NBC, I refuse to believe they couldn't do the same with a ghost station like Versus. They are in fact both owned by Comcast. It is very frustrating to see Pit/NJ being broadcasted when much more impactful games are taking place.

And to the poster who said this game does have implications, please, that's a stretch. Sure it does. But not nearly to the degree of some of the other games. It's a moot point in comparison.

Because they choose the games before the season starts, get over it. Or buy center ice, though tonight there are no replays on center ice which is stupid.

That argument is irrelevant. If they can decide which games to play on NBC a few weeks in advance, they should do the same with Versus.

nbc has only 3 games to choose from and they do it weeks in advance, probably even 3 weeks ago vs could have been banking on this game to be one that nj still had a chance in

So Philly lost, while Pensburgh won, bringing the teams 1 point apart with 2 games to go, all while Philly has lost 7 of their last 10 games. Is a division title battle what you would call a strech? Or is that just plain old blind Western homerism I smell?

And for all of us who revel in schadenfreude, The Hawks are Wednesdays Versus game of the night.
