NHL Stanley Cup Conference Semifinals
The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs starts Thursday, April 24th. Like with the first round, Versus is carrying a significant number of the games in high definition. Other networks carrying games include NBC and Canadian Networks TSN, CBC and RSD.
Every game of the Stanley Cup Conference Semifinals will be in high definition, but not on the same channel, and probably not available to everyone. Versus carries most (not all) of its games in HD and NBC is carrying its 4 games in high definition on the weekends of April 26 and May 3.
Canadian HD networks are available to some US viewers, but not all. TSN has pledged to broadcast all rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in HD, and CBC and RDS have been broadcasting Canadian home games in high definition to its viewers.
Regional broadcast information is not yet available as of noon on 4/23, but will be available in the coming days. Stay close and check for updates on our NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Schedule.

At the bottom of the schedule at NHL.com, it indicates that many of the games on Versus are an “exclusive telecast” Does that mean no local RSN coverage for those games? Hopefully not, since Versus was blacked out for local games last round.

Versus gets 2 games in each series to air exclusively in this round. Those exclusive games have VERSUS in bold and underlined on the schedule you are refering to and will not be on any RSN.
The games on Versus that are not exclusive will be blacked out on Versus in the home markets of the participating teams and you will need to watch those on the RSN.

What page are you referring to where VERSUS is bold and underlined?
If the Flyers game on 5/3/08 an exclusive VERSUS game?
If the Red Wings sweep the series, any change the Flyers/Canadiens game gets moved from VERSUS to NBC? I can’t see the NBC contract allowing them to get blocked out from carrying any Saturday afternoon game.

It is no longer featured on the home page at NHL.com. Here is the link: http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=361357
The Saturday Flyers vs. Canadians game on Versus is not marked as an exclusive broadcast, so maybe they will transfer that to NBC if the Red Wings sweep. However, that would probably involve a time change, which impacts the stadium, city officials, etc., so maybe not.
I guess it is a toss up whether it is better to follow the NHL format of announcing all games and stations vs. the NBA format of making everything TBD until the day before the games.

Is there ANYWHERE that lists what NHL playoff games are shown on what networks and what will/will not be blacked out? There are “rules” about black-out’s regarding exclusive games, but there seems to be NO SCHEDULE POSTED that says which games are exclusive, etc. This makes it impossible to know what channel the game will ge broadacast on! Please post an accurate schedule and indicate what markets will be blacked out for EVERY GAME you show!
