While at ministry work at my home office, I was also watching Prime Time Sports on Sportsnet and Mr. McCown stated, and had checked (paraphrased) that the game documented above will be the first regular season, National Hockey League game ever shown on American national television featuring two Canadian clubs. It will be on NBCSN. In other words, if this is correct, in the 100+ plus year history of the National Hockey League, the last half having significant television, this is the first non-playoff game.
NBCSN
Maple Leafs vs. Jets
Hockey
Wed 4pm PDT
Imagine that, a blue maple leaf versus a red maple leaf. I will refrain from a cultural critique, but philosophically, it is beneficial to embrace the good from foreign cultures.
I will now finish, as I need to make dinner for myself and the Boss and watch the World Series, Los Angeles Dodgers @ Boston Red Sox. I am not a baseball fan, per say, but have been hoping for this match-up for years.
Wait a minute...is neither club Canadian??? |
