The national television schedule for the upcoming NHL season was released today. The Bruins will have 11 games broadcast on Versus with two more "flex games" on NBC. NBC will have the option whether or not to air the two flex games which are February 13th at Detroit and April 10th at New Jersey. The B's could open and close their season with national broadcasts as Versus is airing their season-opener on October 9th against the Phoenix Coyotes in Prague, Czech Republic and NBC has marked their last game of the regular season with the New Jersey Devils as a flex game.

Versus:
October 9 vs. Phoenix (Prague, Czech Republic), 6:00 p.m.
October 19 at Washington, 7:30 p.m.
November 17 at New York Rangers, 7:00 p.m.
November 22 at Tampa Bay, 7:30 p.m.
December 7 vs. Buffalo, 7:30 p.m.
December 20 vs. Anaheim, 7:30 p.m.
December 28 at Tampa Bay, 7:30 p.m.

February 9, vs. Montreal, 7:00 p.m.

Belfast game

Has anyone heard if that Belfast game will be in any way televised here in the US? I would certainly like to check that out.

I'm surprised

National TV did not pick up the first Boston-Pittsburgh or Boston-Philly game

First Boston-Pitt game wouldn’t make sense. Its not a storied rivalry or anything.

Bos-Phl would make sense cause the rivalry is pretty much renewed.

does anyone remember what the NHL Network coverage will do to Center Ice viewing if the Bruins get put on it? I dont get the network anymore. At least I have versus(can’t believe i am saying that)

Most of the games NHLNet shows are HNIC games on saturday nights. Those are on NESN as well, and in the past I’ve been able to flip between the two channels for Canadian and American coverage. Not sure if Center Ice plays into it, though.

The NHL/HNIC side is usually blacked out in my neck of the woods (Comcast/Southie).

i meant to say gamecenter, not center ice. I will be using the internet feed this year instead of the time warner cable feed.

How is that? Can you get NESN games through it?

If you’re outside of the area, and it’s not blacked out…probably.

BOBBY ORR Shame!!!!!

Check it out and have a good laugh.

Recently I came upon a website that absolutely astounded me. My jaw dropped when I saw www.nomoreorr.com, a site claiming that Bobby Orr was not one of, if not THE greatest ever, but in fact a SHAME on hockey! Who are these people?

They not only claim that Bobby Orr should not be in the Hall of Fame, but they claim that Bobby Orr ruined hockey! The idiots owning this site even go as far as to have an Official Petition to remove Bobby Orr from the Hall. They have a list of reasons Orr is overrated and an Official Blog in which they document different things about Orr.

Everyone should go to this site and tell them how stupid they are.

Welcome!

Thanks for joining!

I also think that No More Orr is hilarious and I support their campaign. However, I suggest putting this into a fanpost so we can discuss it there instead of slipping it into a discussion of what games are on which TV.
