dlbalr Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 We saw the TV schedules come out yesterday, here is the breakdown of games: RDS: Every game plus 7 preseason contests CBC: 28 games (most of any Canadian team) TSN: 15 games plus at least one preseason game TSN-Regional: To be determined (at least 30 though) Versus/NBC Sports: 6 games All in all, I'm happy with the variety of options out there. I'm particularly happy with 7 preseason games being shown, less internet radio is always a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Wait, how many pre-season games are the Habs even playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Wait, how many pre-season games are the Habs even playing? I see 7 preseason games in September on NHL.com. 6 of them are home games + 1 in Ottawa. Edit : + at least 1 more in October vs TB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, 8 in total. The one that isn't being shown is Sept, 23rd in Ottawa; part of me wonders if that might be the TSN game (if memory serves me right, they tried to get all-Canadian preseason games last season).

Its been frustrating the last few years being able to watch almost none of the pre season games. I could never figure that out that the Habs are so popular yet it took the networks this long to realise that Habs fans want to watch pre season games. I dont get a lot of chances to see the prospects play, especially playing against other NHL caliber players. It will definitely be nice to see the prospects play in some pre season games this year.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I want to watch preseason games until I've seen about 10 minutes of them. Then I change the channel to 'celebrity Jeopardy' or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRock Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 28 games on CBC? I'll believe that when I see it. Most of them won't be seen outside of Quebec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's not necessarily national games. With Winnipeg now being in the Eastern Conference fold, I don't think there will be a whole lot of true 'national' games aside from ones during the week (something CBC seemed to do quite a bit with last year for Montreal).

saskhab Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 This is all important because I still can't get RDS HD for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
