Default Driving to California.. how to watch the game??

I'll be in California for the last 1/2 of next week and first 1/2 of the week after. I'll be missing:

Game 4 Thursday April 27 (CBC)
Game 5 Saturday April 29 (CBC, OLN) if necessary
Game 6 Monday May 1 (CBC, OLD) if necessary

I'm driving down to a music festival in palm srpings (Coachella), stopping through salt-lake city and probably Las Vegas. Any ideas on how I can get the game? Is it on XM? I'm tempted to bring my Dish and hook it up to the van.. lol.

Any suggestions?

Umm, go to the Pond?

All playoff games are on Sirius and XM.

OLN will be available at any restaurant/bar down there as well.

But if you have a dish...go with that, more assured to get what you want that way.

Off off topic but I'm interested in driving down to California in July. Have you driven down before? What's the best route to take and how long does it take usually? I'm guessing 12 hours Calgary to Salt Lake and then 6 more to Vegas? Is there a better way?

If you take the I5 all the way to LA - through Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada - it should take you about 24 hours of driving time allowing for gas and quick food breaks.

Yup... that's what we take down there :P Usually stop at Salt Lake City then keep givin 'er all the way down. Sucks that you drive by vegas in the middle of the day otherwise it would be better to stay there and get a few lap dances in
