Bet NBC is happy with the Edmonton - Carolina final ,
This is going to probably be the worst watched programing in the time slot from 8-11 est. among the networks Fox,ABC,CBS even the WB might beat NBC when they go head to head with the NHL for games 3-7
I bet NBC is hoping for a 4 game sweep. Then they would only get stuck with showing 2 games since OLN gets games 1 and 2 of the finals
-------------------------------------
OLN, in its first season as the NHL's cable network in the United States, will televise the first two games of the finals. The remaining contests will be shown on NBC, also in its first year of the league's new television deal that was agreed to following last season's lockout.
