Greetings all;
October through about June ... no NHL, so I started looking around on
the internet for different leagues. Both the KHL and the SHL (Swedish) >leagues have started playing. Most games have no fans, but a few have a
10% capacity of fans.
I normally sign up for the NHL TV package on NHL.com. I get most of the >games that way, but a few are blacked out. I also manage to stream some
of the CBC regionals on the internet. Hockey Night in Canada is
normally on Saturday Night starting around 17:00 or 18:00 Mountain time.
I just finished watching a KHL game that was on the East Coast of Russia
in a town called Khabarovsk.
Now if I was at CBC or Sportsnet (or if I knew anyone there) ... I would
hit them up with the idea of trying to get the KHL and the SHL to
schedule games so CBC or Sportsnet could pick them up for Hockey Night
In Canada.
Working out the time frames - a 13:00 Sunday Afternoon game in
Khabarovsk would end up being played at 20:00 Mountain (19:00 in
Vancouver) on Saturday Evening. A 19:00 game in Sweden would end up
being at 11:00 (morning) Mountain, 10:00 Vancouver time on the same
day. So it would be possible for Hockey Night in Canada to get a few
games on Saturdays, and maybe Sundays...
A number of the players in the KHL and SHL have played in the NHL.
