It absolutely did with the Nordiques. As I just mentioned in another thread: In the days when the Nordiques were owned by Carling-O'Keefe and HNIC was sponsored by Molson, the CBC hardly admitted there was a team in Quebec City. The only time they could count on being seen nationally was during the playoffs. That cannot have been good for their fan base or their finances.
