I remember there was a game vs. LA on ABC in 2004. Has NBC ever shown a regular season Flames game?

Sean Donovan with the OT winner if I'm not mistaken.

Only playoffs have been on NBC, never had a regular season game

LOL at the Oilers getting five or six games... I guess that’s the McDavid effect because it can’t be the fact they’re any good.

You're right, he scored it from Conroy and Gauthier, 66 seconds into OT as the Flames won 3-2. https://www.hockey-reference.com/box...403270CGY.html

The Oilers get 7 games on NBCSN. The Leafs are on 6 times, the Jets 5 times, Flames twice, Habs once, and zero times for the Canucks and Senators.
Here are all the teams totals. https://twitter.com/DimFilipovic/sta...25157560426496

If that happens, the Bruins-Flames pregame will start on the NHL Network.

Here's the NBC Sports link to their schedule. https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2018/08/13...c-tv-schedule/

Good to see the stupid "Wednesday Night rivalry" has been terminated. The USA Today link mentioned the change and the reason why. Sureloss has the link posted in the opening post of this thread.

“Rivalry Night was successful but some of (the rivalries) don’t have the juice they once did when we started this 12 or 13 years ago.” Sam Flood said, “Rivalry Night was successful but some of (the rivalries) don’t have the juice they once did when we started this 12 or 13 years ago.”

Fantastic news.

Just awful at it these past few seasons.

NBCSN is doing a lot of Wed. doubleheaders and Pierre McGuire will be working the "between the glass" western games. Brian Boucher will be doing the eastern games. Scroll down to the end of the article to read about the hockey stuff.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but this was the last time we were on NBC, this happened: (I know we'll never be on NBC unless we make the Stanley Cup Final, but this is just me throwin' back. Would really love for our Flames to be on NBC. One day.)

Finally, would love for Doc Emrick to call one of our two games. Too bad, NBC wants him doing the popular teams. IIRC also this was the last time he called a Flames game:

It must've been very therapeutic for Noodles to end his career giving Franzen a whack. He did it not just for himself, not just for Kipper, not just for the Flames but for every goalie league wide!

This is a very impressive schedule from NBC and NBCSN. It is amazing to see the increase in western conference team coverage. Overall, NBCSN will be doing 25 out of 26 Wednesday Night Hockey games. The only Wednesday that will not be shown is on Hallowe'en due to the potential game seven of the World Series. That is why there is only one game scheduled on that night, Blackhawks at Canucks. It could still be televised by NBCSN if the World Series is already decided.

There are 17 Wednesday doubleheaders which is more than Sportsnet is doing. They could do four more doubleheaders which mostly involve the Ducks, but, each team is allowed a maximum of eleven games on NBCSN. The remaining four Wednesdays do not have games scheduled in the Mountain and Pacific timezones.

Here is an article that come out today Wednesday night hockey being "must see TV."

NBCSN will be adding 2 games to its schedule. The unfortunate part is that a Flames game will be taken off and there will now only be one Flames game on NBCSN for this season (18-19).

"NBC Sports has announced that it has added a pair of games to its schedule on NBCSN for the final week of the NHL regular season. The St. Louis Blues will host the Colorado Avalanche on Monday, April 1, at 8 p.m. ET on NBCSN, and the Boston Bruins will visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, April 2, at 7 p.m. ET on NBCSN. Additionally, NBC Sports has removed the Flames-Ducks game from NBCSN’s schedule on Wednesday, April 3."

Annoying but not surprised. I'd like to think if it was SJ/CGY or CGY/Veg that they would have kept. I am also hoping with this years success, plus a number of American stars, that maybe we'll get 4-5 games on NBCSN next season. I can't even begin to tell you how sick I am of watching these late season games with NJ or LA in them, while there are all these other top notch games taking place.

[Resolute 14]

Yup. That's because the Ducks are flaming dog poo.

[PeteMoss]

If the Flames end up playing Arizona in the playoffs - I can't imagine the channel those games will be on in the US. Those will be some hurting TV ratings.

[Resolute 14]

They'd probably just leave that series to the local RSN in Arizona.

[Tsawwassen]

NBCSN is adding another game to its schedule, Thursday, April 4 will have the Habs at Capitals.

[Tsawwassen]

Here's the TV schedule for american viewers.

For those in the USA, game 1 of the Avs-Flames will have Gord Miller and Ray Ferraro calling the game.

[btimbit]

Might have to check out a few NBC broadcasts, maybe the away games I'll watch the NBC feed and home games the Sportsnet feed. I like Miller and Ferraro
