This is the thread for the 1980 Stanley Cup TV crews, where the division standings meant nothing. It was a straight league-wide standing that determined the playoff opponents.
Please alert with errors or omissions. It is appreciated.

Note:
On 4/9, CBC carried the ACTRA awards ceremony. This caused the HAR-MTL and EDM-PHI games not to be televised. The TOR-MIN game was shifted to CHCH in Hamilton (B. Hewitt-McFarlane) while the VAN-BUF was televised by CBC regionally in BC as usual as the ACTRA awards show was tape-delayed into prime time on the west coast.

Notes:
1st half and 2nd half?! For the first five games of the final, either Cole or Robson would do pxp for the first period and the first half of the second period. At the closest stoppage of play near the 10 minute mark of the second period, Cole or Robson handed off the call to Dan Kelly for the duration of the game.
The 1980 Final would be the first of 29 consecutive Stanley Cup Finals that Bob Cole would have a hand in calling for CBC television.

Note:
Game 6 of the Final was the first full network telecast of an NHL game since game 5 of the 1975 Stanley Cup Final (game 2 of the 1979 Challenge Cup was only seen on CBS for the third period, IIRC). No NHL game on network television for another 10 years (1990 NHL All-Star Game on NBC).
