I’m starting to write this post because NBC Sports Network just decided, midway through the second period that the game between the #1 seed in the East and the winningest hockey team of all time was unfit for television.
NBCSN shifted to a game between Colorado and Arizona, promising that the Flyers and Canadiens would be available on NHL Network. Except NHL Network, to its credit, wanted no part of the Flyers-Canadiens game either, so the middle 10 minutes or so of the game went totally unaired on national television.
It was a de facto halftime in the middle.
