Grapefruits Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 The KHL will broadcast games in the United States during the NHL lockout. The Russian-based league announced Tuesday that it plans to air five games on ESPN3 this month and indicated that future games are "still being finalized." Wednesday's game between Dynamo Moscow and Ak Bars Kazan will be the first game televised. According to a release, ESPN3 is in 73 million households. The KHL has also scheduled two regular-season games at the newly opened Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., in January. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Interesting, no doubt some games will end up on a Canadian sports network. TSN2 would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil HD Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Perfect. Gives the NHL a little something to think about during negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I read about this yesterday. These games will also be shown in the UK. TSN or SPN should show these games too. TSN is owned in part by ESPN. I'm sure there could be a deal worked out with the KHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
