blue_gold_84 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Posted April 9, 2018 With the Bruins losing to the Panthers tonight, the Jets finish second overall and would have home ice advantage throughout the playoffs unless they face the Predators in the second round. Mark F 1
Jacquie Posted April 9, 2018 Report Posted April 9, 2018 CBC will be showing Pittsburgh/Philadelphia while Jets are on Sportsnet. I hate Sportsnet and Rogers - screwing us over again.

But I hate what Sportsnet produces. blue_gold_84 and Goalie 2

Technically, Sportsnet owns the rights and only cut a deal with CBC to help distribute the product. They've put the Jets on their network. We're top shelf.
Floyd Posted April 9, 2018 Report Posted April 9, 2018 Thats brutal - I have to be travelling in the far north for part of the playoffs... not a chance the SportsNet package will be available.

SN should be available. I had SN West and SN1 on TV last year in Inuvik for the playoffs.

Disagree (obvs now it's easier to) - but I'd have said the same even if they squeaked in. They weren't winning a Cup this year. There was little chance they'd even be sniffing at a Conference title. GM smartly assessed that & obtained assets for a piece likely gone at season's end. 'Twas a solid trade from both sides. JCon 1
Jimmy Pop Posted April 9, 2018 Report Posted April 9, 2018 So, far be it to complain about making the playoffs, especially as I'll be there this year as opposed to 2015.... That said, little bummed about the early start times / catering to the East. I get the why, doesn't mean I have to like it. 2 central teams playing. Games at 7:00 or 7:30 are most fan-friendly, I.E. sensible. And yeah, I think most are counting down the days until Rogers national TV deal ends. Obviously they're vastly outmatched by TSN' on air talent. Damn shame to have a TON of great hockey ppl essentially off 'til the summer while Spengler Cup regulars cover Canadian teams in the playoffs. Here's one for us to ponder. How many Sat night games do the Jets get this postseason?? Methinks we'll virtually have to make the Cup final before Rogers sees us worthy of their Holy night broadcast. rebusrankin 1

I have an eight year-old at home and was not looking forward to having him up late multiple times per week. The East is the biggest market and it makes sense cater to them. Also means that the late games start at 9pm, which is also great. It just makes sense all around (and benefits me). So, win-win.

The Unknown Poster Posted April 12, 2018 Report Posted April 12, 2018 Good on Vegas for their first ever victory. Looked like a party in Vegas! And I've got Fleury in my pool...
