As cool as it is to see that they're on there...

…I don’t like it when the B’s play Hockey Night, because if it’s the featured game it means HNIC (and, thusly, Coach’s Corner) is blacked out on NHL Network.

Not always. I was able to flip back and forth once last year between HNIC and NESN during that Leafs-Bruins game where Montador got his ass kicked.

Versus??

I have yet to figure out why they consider games on Versus “nationally” telivised. My father loves the bruins but he has to come over to my house to watch the games when they are on Versus. If the games were on NESN he would get them no problem. Nationally telivised means EVERYONE can see it, not just the peopl that pay $60 a month for high-end cable.

It’s nationally televised like a nationally televised game on other cable channels, like ESPN. Nationally televised doesn’t mean broadcast television.
