Bumping an old thread because their scheduling has been really awful lately.

Yesterday, they were playing the Pens/Lightning games from the '11 playoffs. I was enjoying it, but they have the stupidest programming ever. Here's how they worked it: 8pm-10pm Game 3 10pm-12am Game 4 12am-2am Game 4. Then I wake up this morning and they're back to game 3.

Now they have one of the few shows where they actually produce original content "Frozen in Time" on. Its a pretty fascinating show about events in the leagues history. They're showing the events around the Patrick Roy trade. Great. I'm enjoying it. What's on next? "A Day that Changed the Game." And drumroll please...The Patrick Roy trade! Why would they schedule redundant programming back to back?

They did this alot with the rest of the playoffs too, after the cup. They showed the first round series' with Boston and Montreal, Philly and Buffalo, and Washington and New York constantly. Probably showed each complete series three times apiece. Not one of the Western Conference series' and not showing the Pens Bolts until a full month later.

Someone must be asleep at the wheel on this thing, because these are rookie mistakes and stupid decisions that will ruin this channel.

At least they have finally, in the past week, gotten back to playing old hockey games. They've been playing the Cup clinching games of every series in the '80s the past two weeks.

I would like to see them go round by round or following one team through the playoffs per day. Something with a little more flow than the seemingly random games they put up.

I agree. Maybe I can see a Western conference game before the snow is back in Michigan.

Well it looks like they take a series each week and show Game 1 Monday so Tuesday they show game 1 then game 2 then game 2 again if u missed it. Then Weds game2 followed by game3 and game 3 again. and so on. Then Sunday is games 1-7 this is just what I have observed, obviously if the series doesn't go 7 the schedule varies.
