MilCity: did Chicago's NBC also cut off the Hawks game, if you've heard? I think nobody, including LA and Chicago, were able to see the Hawks-Kings after the switch, be that Pens-Flyers were 100% national later in the games. Heard there was no warning for a stoppage in play, even, when they switched your game.
Here in Boston, we had the full Pens-Flyers, with occasional cutins to the other game at intermission. The first half hour of the Kings game was shown in full before cutting to the other game, which they seemed to delay starting to allow all the country to see the banner rising in LA.
I don't think Chicago's market was cut off but I have a friend in Texas and Iowa and Iowa lost the game and my friend in Texas still got the game which is weird.
I just looked up Milwaukee/Wisconsin's blackout market and all WILD games are blacked out in WI not because we are such huge MN Wild fans but FS-WI is owned by the FS-North people in the twin cities so we do get a lot of Wild games on Fox sports when there is nothing else on.
However if you live in Racine or Kenosha Counties in Wisconsin, both Wild and Blackhawks games are blacked out which makes no sense because I don't think if you're in Kenosha or Racine you cannot get Comcast Sports net. Racine county borders Milwaukee so on one side of the street you are blacked out of all blackhawks games if you buy NHL Gamecenter or the TV league pass. Again if you live north of county line rd in Milwaukee county you are not blacked out, thank god because I bought NHL Gamecenter before checking it.

"I see why they call it "Hockeytown" because, desolate land of abandoned buildings just doesn't have the same ring to it"
I saw the OT against Detroit and Corey Crawford's on ice interview, via the free Center Ice preview. I like how the Blackhawks home games have an on ice player interview with the female holding the microphone. Not sure if they only do the interview after a win?
I don't think NESN does the on ice interview of Bruins players, though they do have a post game show, often with a player coming on to the set. But with Center Ice, outsiders don't get to see the actual post game show of any broadcast! I hate when it cuts away just before the commercial once the game ends!
Anyway, I thought Crawford kind of sounds like Crosby when he speaks...same tone and sound in a way? Same accent, if it's even an accent. Is he from Nova Scotia? Haven't been able to check yet. He speaks well, which most hockey players do, contrary to what hockey haters think, right?
I would be surprised if the Blackhawks didn't make it to the Stanley Cup.
