I love the fact that it's on NBCSN, you gotta be concerned about your fans first and foremost, and it's not like the sport is suffering. You can make the big push any time you want but for now it's all good.

Why are two games airing on the NBC Sports Network instead of NBC? "It's always been the system even when you had the NBC Sports Network as Versus -- that's the contract," Flood said. "We've always had the two games there and that's part of providing the value of the NBC Sports Network to cable operators. Clearly, it's an advantage to drive the audience back and forth between the two [networks] and you saw it throughout the playoffs. We were getting incredible numbers off NBC Sports Network as well as NBC. The promotion across the two platforms is a huge win for us. That combination is a great way to grow the NBC Sports Network.

• Wait, so NBC is cool with losing viewership by not airing games on NBC in exchange for the added attention and recognition for the NBC Sports Network? "Presumably, that lessens over the years as more and more people realize that you don't have a cable system if you don't have the NBC Sports Network," Flood responded. "You can have five ESPNs in places, so you certainly should have one NBCSN. The value of this network is self-evident."

i was looking for the game cuz i prefer the doc emrick commentary over great save luongo jim hughson but instead it wsa some chicago fire or ish.

nbc is a joke

the first game pulled a 6.0 in ratings and then on a saturday night when nothing really is on you toss it in nbcsn?
