CBC Adds Canucks-Preds game
Saturday, just for us special BC folks, CBC will air the Canucks-Predators game at 8pm EDT. We'll get the first hour of Rangers-leaves then it'll swap over. Looks like since we're not in the basement as predicted there's more reason to show our games!

It's retarded how the CBC ignores the rest of the country. I'm sick of watching nothing but leaves games. Actually I'd have to say TSN does it as well. Tonight is a prime example, Flames and Habs would be a good game to watch, but yet they opt for the Sabres and Flyers. I'm assuming Sportsnet has the rights to tonights Canucks/Oilers game otherwise I would have made the same argument.
GO CANUCKS GO !!!

CBC is much worse then TSN......TSN has at least every Canadian team on 6 times, where as the National game (that being the early one) is 90% of the time Toronto. There's a lot of times Ottawa or Montreal is involved in a better game but they put on the leaves. For example, Montreal is playing Colorado this week-end (Theordore's return) and Ottawa is playing New Jersey, 2 better games in my opinion, BUT the leaves/Rangers game will be the national game. Once again, leaves get the attention.

I would much rather watch Jagr, Shanahan and The NEW YORK Rangers... then a crappy Av's team and a so-so Habs team
Sens are struggling they are not better then the leaves...and no one cares about New Jersey.

Wrong. Before Sportsnet came along, TSN completely ignored the west. There is a reason they were called the TORONTO Sports Network. Only now is TSN showing the west some love.Linden Is God wrote:CBC is much worse then TSN......TSN has at least every Canadian team on 6 times, where as the National game (that being the early one) is 90% of the time Toronto.

I didn't have a problem with that. I don't normally see those two teams play so I loved to watch the game, I'm tired of seeing the mediocre Canadian teams over and over again.Linden Is God wrote:...Tonight is a prime example, Flames and Habs would be a good game to watch, but yet they opt for the Sabres and Flyers...

I'm not saying TSN is good, but at least they're showing at least 6 games of each Canadian team.
Where as the CBC caters to Toronto games first, and claim to be unbiased because they show other teams but only in their region. WHat pisses me more about them is when the Canucks have a Saturday game, and one of the Alberta teams has a game as well, BC is the only region to get the Canucks game.
