It's a terrible decision

Doesn't help grow the game at all

And wasn't some of the regular Playoffs on free TV?

I recall games on abc

is the nhl not on nbc or fox anymore?

I remember a few years ago games were on nbc and nbc sports (out of business)

I guess abc chose hoops

nhl will get crappy ratings (doesn’t help with teams playing) but will get very good ratings for a show on cable

Was this planned ahead of time or is it a reaction to the teams involved? The Panthers are notorious for not being able to draw an audience, so it wouldn't surprise me if keeping the finals off network tv was a result of the Panthers run.

ESPN loses out Stanley Cup rights to TNT and fans are overjoyed.​

After airing the coverage of the Stanley Cup finals last year, ESPN will not provide coverage for the Cup finals this year, much to delight the NHL fans.
TNT will exclusively air live coverage of the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals. Users in the United States can watch the Stanley Cup finals live on TNT, while Canadians can tune into Sportsnet, CBS, or, TVA Sports.
The Stanley Cup Finals coverage alternates between ESPN and TNT year-to-year, and TNT will air the finals between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Florida Panthers this year. TNT acquired the rights to broadcast the Cup final, and fans expressed their happiness on Reddit.

I had no problem watching the ECF on TNT. Thought the broadcast was good (i dont watch a lot of hockey)

Plus Wayne Gretzky is a studio analyst

TNT definitely better pregame in game postgame show

 

[Greenbacks]

No PK Subban
That's a bonus
