2011-12 NHL on NBC Schedule

In the first year of the 10-year television deal between the NHL and NBC/Versus (which is soon to be renamed NBC Sports Network on January 2nd), there are some notable changes to the NBC schedule.

  1. In the NHL's minds, only 6 teams exist.

    Don't be deceived. The 'OR' options involving the West outside of Chicago / Detroit never get chosen.

  2. Very true, however the "Hockey Day in America" is hopefully a sign of things to come. Regional coverage will give exposure to St. Louis, Buffalo, and Minnesota, however San Jose in a 10am Pacific Time game is a bit of a joke...

  4. It would be nice if they would show games on network TV instead of the PGA. I hate watching golf and I don't get Versus...........
