Fans of Western Conf. teams would probably rather watch Hawks/Kings.

That's why I said 'more'. The 700 people in LA that would tune into an afternoon game can go to the beach instead.

Bad choice for NBC. One would have to think most people would rather watch this game.
- canadianpenfan

I agree. Other then in LA and Chicago, I'm guessing Crosby and boys vs Giroux is the bigger draw.

NBC, they are clue less.

No we all get to see them raise the Cup, then Flyers-Pens starts.

Gotta pay Lord Stanley his dues, I suppose. I just hope they don't milk it like the Broons did.
- BulliesPhan87


Our puck drop is scheduled for 3:30 now, so they're giving them a little milking room. If they skate it around the rink, I'll change the channel for a bit.

I'm in the same boat. Both NBC feeds are showing the Kings game and the Pens/Flyers isn't being shown on Center Ice. Great start

First row sports it is I guess.

- canadianpenfan

I think NHL.com and NBC have both online.

That's my motto for every game not on national tv.

How ridiculous us it that my school- a hop skip and a subway ride from the Wells Fargo Center- doesn't get Comcast in its cable?

Oh really? My channel guide says Hawks/Kings on both feeds...

I hope you're right.

Does Gagne still play for LA?
I guess he is the guy I am happiest the most for winning the Cup.

Makes me wonder which ex Flyer will be the next to win a cup.
We should have a contest/poll.

NBC pays a poopload of cash for exclusivity. They're not going to give it away, although all the NBC games will be streamed on their site.

I heard they were considering trading Bernier.
I guess the price will be high.

Makes you wonder why a team that went 16-4 in the playoffs and is returning everyone isn't getting more love from the media with their predictions.

Unless he's traded.

Is Eminger still a NYR?

He has a shot I'd say. (if he even counts as being an ex Flyer).

NBC streams games on line?
This sounds hopeful.
