The other silly thing about CBC is their online feed is flash based killing it for most tablet users. Most of us would have propped up our tablet on our "washboard ab" while we watched the Montreal game on TV.
There is a CBC hockey app which is supposed to have live broadcasts of the games but I justread that the live stream is only on the ios app. I only have Android devices and I don't see a live stream. I can't check the Apple app obviously but maybe it is better.
The Blues-Blackhawks game will begin online if the Penguins-BJs game goes into overtime. CHEX-TV will not show the Blues-Blackhawks game from the beginning. Another terrible decision.

The Following User Says Thank You to hwy19man For This Useful Post:
They can't put the game on the news channel. CBC News Network isn't licensed for live sports, and they've already gotten into trouble with the CRTC for that in the past.
Putting it on CHEX was borderline ######ed though. There is no reason at all to expect that very many people in the country would get the local channel out of Peterborough. This was CBC thinking about Toronto only, and damned be the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, TSN had soccer replays on both channels when they could have broadcast the game. For all the problems Sportsnet will have, at least conflicts like the ones CBC set up won't be one of them.
The ridiculous thing is that TSN gave up the Rangers/Flyers game yesterday to Sportsnet 360 but CBC sticks their games on CHEX.
They leave one little choice but to use 'alternative methods' for watching games.... And some of these are now excellent in quality and reliability.
This would not be necessary if they made smarter broadcasting decisions.
I could offer suggestions via PM that work very nicely for any Android device
