"Hockey Night in Canada" is coming to the United States. That means more Don Cherry and his between-period rants.
The NHL Network announced its TV schedule Friday and, for the first time, it will pick up CBC’s "Hockey Night in Canada" Saturday night double-headers. The first broadcast will be next Saturday, when Montreal visits Toronto at 7 p.m., and Calgary hosts Vancouver at 10 p.m.
Overall, the NHL Network will televise 75 games, all in high definition. Games involving the Devils, Islanders, Rangers and Sabres will be blacked out because MSG has the territorial rights. For example, the NHL Network is scheduled to show the Rangers’ game against Tampa Bay at noon Saturday. But MSG will have it. The NHL Network will carry the Ottawa-Pittsburgh game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
The NHL Network is on Time Warner Cable channel 675. The HD channel is on 1875.
