I need to find out the Hockey Night in Canada schedule. Is that out yet? I want to find out if Buffalo plays any games that will be televised locally by CBC.

It's on that same link actually... I just didn't include it because I forget you guys get that as a local station.

So I'll get to see those 7, plus the 4 against the Caps, plus whatever NHL network picks up.

I'd like it to be more, but oh well. I can always grab the bootleg online feed again.

Looks like only 2 games on CBC that might be on hockey night in Canada, and that was just looking at the schedule. I wonder why the Saturday, November 21st game in Ottawa isn't on CBC?

Maybe they are hoping we wear the throwbacks? Coolest uniform in the league!

VS. should wait until next year when we make it the permanent uni.

Ratings. The local ratings are huge for their games andthey do well nationally.
