They will always put the late game on its entirety on at least one channel but a golden rule of sports broadcasting is to never breakaway from a broadcast before it finishes. Rogers/CBC chose to do it on SN west for the Flames game but kept the pit/rangers game on CBC, SN pacific/ontario/East.

Ya and they made the wrong decision in terms of channel selection IMO.
CBC is a national Canadian broadcaster. Their mandate is literally to make Canadian content available over American content. They should be switching to the Flames while SN East or Central (or both) continue with the American teams. Not surprised that Rogers effed it up but I knew as soon as I turned it on that game was going long.
Personally I have a good laptop and a SN Now subscription so I wasn’t too fussed but not everybody does.
