Hockey Night in Canada miffing Vancouver again...

The least they could do is put a few games of Calagay and Edmonton winning the cup.

The issue is Vancouver has not won the cup yet and has a bad reputation with post game riots. If you recall the CBC news station downtown was right in the middle of it last time. CBC does not want to envoke the memories of this bad behavior.

If you want classic Vancouver games on CBC then Vancouver needs to grow up.

The Canucks are one of the most hated teams in the league and this is nationally broadcasted television... Why would they want to continually show a team that everybody east of British Columbia probably hates?

Doesn't make much sense from a national standpoint.

Never fear chronic complainers and conspiracy theorists, this is just week one. This will be a weekly thing as long as the lockout continues according to the article. Which is to say there's bound to be some Canuck games in the mix eventually. Just not every week as there's a far larger selection of games from Montreal and Toronto in the CBC archives. Add in the much higher eastern population and the odds are against the western teams. That doesn't mean the the games on the list aren't worth watching. I voted for the Boston/Montreal game. Although the "Mario Returns" game was a close second for me.

So the network that gets funded by Canadians and draws advertising from Canadians is going to punish a city for rioting? OK, no problem than dont ask for funding from Vancouver and let other Networks cover their games.

Problem Solved
