NBC could have went truly local with the Calgary coverage with Rick Ball/Cassie Campbell-Pascall instead of one of NBC's people. Maybe also use Dave Randorf/Louie DeBrusk for the Jets series. I don't see why they need to use their own talent when you've got the Rogers feed avivable, but maybe NBC wants to put their own spin on as many games as possible.(if this was 2012, NBC would be using CBC/Sportsnet for those 2 series.)
2019 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs preview
The 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs have a bit of the old (Toronto, Winnipeg) from last year's playoff run and a bit of the new (Calgary). This will be the first time in a long time that Toronto has made the playoffs for the 3rd straight year. If the Jets advance past the first round, this will be t...
I think NBC likes to have their own team whenever possible. Back when CBC produced games themselves, nBCU used those feeds often, even for some all-US matchups.

Maybe have NBC and Rogers team up in the first and second rounds. Same graphics, but use the Canadian guys for games in Canada and the NBC guys for game sin the States. The Rogers guys could help out for games in the States if a Canadian teams visits or if the game is not worthy of Emrick or Albert.
2018 Stanley Cup notebook: Winnipeg Jets thrown off by Minnesota blizzard
The joy that has been downtown Winnipeg has been the best thing about the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs so far. Streets closed down. Fans jumping and screaming when Winnipeg scores a goal at home. Gord Miller has called the only NBCSN regular season game in Winnipeg back in the first season. So Mi...
I'm OK with NBC updating the other game with highlights, but do it the way that FOX and CBS do the NFL- a two-box.

It was nice to see Former Hockey Night host Ken Daniels on the Washington Columbus series. I'd take him over Forslund or Albert.

I'm surprised that Jets/Wild isn't getting a 9:30 start. But of course that could be because of The National.
2018 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs preview
The 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs are less crowded for Canadian teams than in 2017. 4 of the 7 teams felt out of the playoff chase since the NHL 100 Classic in Ottawa. The Calgary Flames ran hot and cold but still lasted longer than 4 of the 7 Canadian teams. Canadian fans can pick a team in the W...
Not too shocked about NHLN dropping the Leafs- Blues/Avs is the better game.
NHL the week in preview April 6, 2018
Every Canadian team is in play Saturday night for the final games of the regular season. The CBC starts with the classic Montréal-Toronto battle from downtown Toronto. The all-Canadian matchup of the Vancouver Canucks in Edmonton will be the CBC nightcap. City TV finishes its NHL season with t...
Ken Daniels did some PBP for CBC at one point- the Blackhawks-Flames series in 96 and Sens-Sabres in 97 come to mind.
NHL the week in preview March 2, 2018
NBC and CBC will carry the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night as part of the Stadium Series. The Maple Leafs will play Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals in Annapolis, MD. The special start of 8 pm Eastern is to satisfy NBC and will throw off the rest of the Hockey Night in Canada schedul...
I'd wish Kenny Albert was doing the Rangers series on TV, but I'll take John Forslund over Paul Romanuk any day.
2017 NHL Stanley Cup notebook: Edmonton, Ottawa survive to Round 2
Editor's note: The story has been updated with Canadian announcers and some American announcers for the second round. We started with 5 Canadian teams in 5 different series. Hoping for 3 teams to advance, but will settle for 2. Every team but Calgary had a 2-1 edge in their series. To only get...
However, Peter Mansbridge must be pissed off about having to be preempted for two American teams.

I', surprised that CBC prefers NSH/STL to get most of the country to The National after the game at a convenient time. They hsould be showing the OIlers serie sinstead.
