AriGold Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 So most of us has to miss the 1st period of the STL vs CHI game because CBC has PIT vs CBJ. Your options were to go to the online stream on your computer or on your tablet and pay $2.99 This bugged me because TSN2 was showing curling tonight with the channel wide open. === TSN on the other hand noticed tomorrow night they were going to have a scheduling conflict because of Basketball and found a solution. They just posted this release : SN’s exclusive Canadian coverage of the Toronto Raptors’ second playoff game against the Brooklyn Nets headlines a busy night in sports for the network. With the network airing the Raptors-Nets game tomorrow night at 7 p.m. ET, TSN and Sportsnet have reached an agreement to ensure hockey fans will be able to see NHL Playoffs Game 3 matchups featuring Boston @ Detroit and NY Rangers @ Philadelphia in their entirety. TSN2 will broadcast Game 3: Boston @ Detroit at 7 p.m. ET, while Sportsnet 360 will broadcast Game 3: NY Rangers @ Philadelphia at 8 p.m. ET. TSN will join the Rangers-Flyers game following the conclusion of the Raptors-Nets game. Tomorrow night’s updated broadcast schedule is as follows: Tuesday, April 22 NBA Playoffs: Game #2 – Brooklyn @ Toronto at 7 p.m. ET on TSN/TSN GO NHL Playoffs Game #3 – Boston @ Detroit at 7 p.m. ET on TSN2/TSN GO NHL Playoffs: Game #3 – NY Rangers @ Philadelphia at 8 p.m. ET on Sportsnet 360 and joined in progress on TSN immediately following Raptors-Nets game That is how a network mans up and finds a solution for the fans. They offered it to Sportsnet360 so we could choose which game we want to watch. CBC needs to figure out what the hell it's doing really quick. This new NHL/CBC deal is going to turn out to be brutal in the end... Link to comment
PlayStation Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The deals basically NHL + Sportsnet. CBC hockey probably will get killed off down the road.Just everythings better on TSN. Sounds so much more exciting and better. Link to comment
AppleJack Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Why in the world would Tsn show anything other then hockey during the NHL playoffs. I don't get tsn 2. Thanks tsn for making me have to find the redwings online so you can show stupid basket ball. We are CDN's we don't give a flying crap about Basketball during the NHL playoffs. Link to comment
c00kies Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 P.J. Stock and Glenn Healey make CBC terrible. Hughson should go back to Sportsnet. Link to comment

Stop being ignorant pls. People who act like that give hockey a bad reputation. All these flow dipping ferda boys think hockey is the world. Link to comment
Brad Marchand Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The deals basically NHL + Sportsnet. CBC hockey probably will get killed off down the road. Just everythings better on TSN. Sounds so much more exciting and better. Pretty much this. HNIC is basically going to be a Sportsnet telecast on CBC. Rogers has full control over programming content and they get all the advertising revenue. Hate CBC's sound quality. Whatever equipment TSN is using, Sportsnet should steal it. Link to comment

All these flow dipping ferda boys think hockey is the world. Oh I am sorry my desire to watch Hockey during the PLAYOFFS is upsetting to you. I have every right to protest the fact they are showing a sport I don't give a flipping crap about during the NHL playoffs and putting hockey on some jabroni side channel. Link to comment

I'd much rather watch the Raptors and many in Canada would agree. Link to comment

I'd much rather watch the Raptors and many in Canada would agree. I don't care about the Rangers game. I care about the Detroit/Boston game. Two original six teams battling it out is way more exciting then some boring basketball. Last time I checked THIS was a hockey forum you want to whine about us 'delusional hockey fans' go to the raptors form and do so...because frankly I fail to see why I as a hockey fan on a hockey forum do not have the right to complain about Tsn putting the hockey game on some lame side channel for baskeball.

Kanucklehead10 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 TSN's sound is better, and, CBC also sucks because of the continuous lack of the professionalism the so-called "experts" on their hockey panel have (excluding Friedman). The cast of goons in Healy, Stock, and Weekes (who were never really respectable players) are such a pity to watch on such a celebrated TV program, and I simply cannot watch the crap they say in-between-periods.

AppleJack Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Right, and please tell me why as a hockey fan I would want to watch Basketball instead of a playoff game? Frankly I don't see why your getting your knickers all twisted just because I am pointing out how stupid it is for TSN to put the hockey game on a lame side channel. They want to show basketball they should put that on the lame side channel and the hockey on the actual channel most people get. Link to comment
Tom Sestito Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Right, and please tell me why as a hockey fan I would want to watch Basketball instead of a playoff game?

TSN THE SPORTS NETWORK FOR A SOLID PORTION OF PEOPLE IN CANADA THEY WOULD MUCH RATHER WATCH THE TORONTO RAPTORS (A CANADIAN TEAM) THAN WATCH TWO HOCKEY TEAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS. CLEARLY TSN AGREES WITH US AS THEY WOULD BE AIRING THE PROGRAM THAT GENERATES MORE VIEWERS. Link to comment
King Heffy Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 TSN also isn't getting hockey nationally after this year. From a business perspective, they're better off alienating some hockey fans and builiding a relationship with Raptors fans rather than the other way round. Link to comment

My Point is I am on a hockey forum I have every right to complain about TSN putting the hockey playoff game on a jabroni channel and forcing me to watch a lame basketball game. Where else shall I complain about this other then a hockey forum. Its not like this is the raptors/baskeball forum and I am complaining about it. I understand why TSN is doing it I just think its lame and wanted to complain about it but obviously some of you had to go and be all bratty about it, honestly, as a hockey fan I have every right to be annoyed with TSN for doing this.

Lil B From The Pack Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 They want to show basketball they should put that on the lame side channel and the hockey on the actual channel most people get. I don't think that is how it works. Pretty sure TSN is contractually obligated to air Raptors playoff games on the main channel. As well, TSN would rather showcase CANADIAN talent instead of 2 American Hockey teams. Link to comment

More people in Canada will be watching the basketball game. Game 1 of the Raptors game had 2.17 million viewers at its peak on TSN. The NBA playoffs are much bigger than the NHL playoffs. It's not stupid, it's smart. Besides its two flipping American teams, or broadcast a Canadian team? Also on your comment saying they are forcing you to watch a basketball game? No they aren't. They put the game elsewhere, so quit your pointless complaining. Link to comment
