Still surprising that there's nothing official from the Canadian stations.

I think they are waiting for the CBC to get straighten up.

Could be a long wait. INterstingly enough, the CBC is under contract. Two years ago (^*timing may be off) the NHL signed a five year contract with Mother-Corp; lock-out time not included in the time frame (ie: four years left).

Maybe we are just waiting for the Leafs to dictate what games will be seen.
