what is up with centre and the playoffs?

[repenttokyo]

why doesn\'t centre ice show the playoff games it has scheduled? It was supposed to show the lightning game today, but nada. Not to mention the fact that it\'s showing about 10 percent of the playoff games in this round - why are the blackout regulations so stringent?

CBC showed that game, so CI won\'t in Canada.

Between TSN and CBC the games are mostly covered, so Center Ice is just down to showing the scraps...

You really don\'t need CI for the playoff !

CBC and TSN covered 3 and 4 games a night !

As someone in the US, without DTV or access to CBC or Versus, I really, really hate you guys...

I don\'t have canadian Centre Ice, I have american centre ice on my cracked dish network. It\'s either that or CBC, and CBC won\'t show the nashville or anaheim series...

But back to my original point - last night Anmerican centre ice showed ZERO hockey. What the hell is the point of the channel if they aren\'t going to offer playoff coverage?

The onscreen schedule for tonight shows the Atlanta game, on 2 different channels, but online schedule indicates they are supposed to show 4 games!

It\'s like the channel is managed by monkeys

Believe that...Center Ice IS managed by monkeys. I have problems with those jokers every year. Most recently, outstate Minnesotans missed a playoff game due to an accidental blackout. Plus, half of the games on the US version of Center Ice isn\'t properly labeled, so you have to surf through the CI channels to find games. Having Center Ice, it\'s hard to complain since I get to see many more games than those who don\'t have it. Still, if you\'re going to pay for the service, you should probably GET the service.

I have US center ice on Comcast and usually when a game is blacked out on center ice it is because its being shown on NBC, Vs., or a local station. Very rare that I can\'t find it anywhere, so unless the dish service is different than cable be sure to check those other channels before you give up on a game. good luck.
