Hello, Jets fans! Well, I know I'll be able to watch your team at least once this year, December 17th...what a great night that'll be... But is there a schedule out detailing when the Jets might be on NBC, VS., or NHL Network--have all three--so I can watch them before the Ducks go on, or on the nights the Ducks don't play? ... Or if I just want to watch them!  (And as a bonus--which game are you all looking foward to the most, besides the obvious home-opener frenzy...?) |

Honestly, my friend that I got tickets with is VERY happy. I let him choose whatever games he wants to see. I'm just excited that we have a team and that I'm able to see at least 11 games this year. I'm not going to see the opposing team, I'm going to see OUR team!! Because I was so easy going, he left out the coyotes and anaheim games when he choose.

NHL.com hasn't filled in the network column yet for the regular season. Weird.

I haven't seen any TV schedules yet, but I'm sure they are coming.
We can assume the home opening game vs Montreal on October 9th will be televised nationally (in Canada at least) on CBC. If I recall my satelite listings, CBC does have a US version, so you might be able to catch that game.
There is a game on Sunday November 6th vs the Rangers that might be televised on Versus (or what ever its called now)
I assume the December 31 game vs Toronto will be on CBC (should be able to find it in the US).
I'm almost certain the game on Saturday February 11 at noon EST against Penguins, will be televised on NBC or Versus. You should be able to see that one.
Other than those dates, you will probably need NHL Centre Ice to watch more Jets games.

I would agree with Domi, the sunday vs Rangers and Saturday vs Penguins are the most likely games to be on US TV.
And if you can get CBC, the New Years Eve game is a for sure, but i would think the Jets will be on at least a couple of Saturdays.k
As far as what games I'm looking forward to, pretty much all of them but of course killing the Coyotes will be especially sweet, and the BRYYYYYYZZZZZGALOV chants against Philly should be loud as well!
I agree with Scuba though, I'm there to see the Jets, not anyone else so Pittsburg, Boston, Washington nor anyone else excites me, I just wanna see 41 Jets wins at home!

And to add... I know this is a bit off topic but what happened to TSN getting the rights to the Jets?
There was a flurry of leaked reports, but it's been what now, a few weeks? And nothing further has come out. You'd think they would start hyping this up fairly soon.

I had heard that the first game will be on CBC/HNIC and Don Cherry will be in attendance. I presume it will be televised nationally and be available to NHL Centre subscribers in the USA. I don't know if the deal with TSN will change any of that...

One of my top picks was the Ducks here in WPG, to see hopefully Carlyle and Selane(hope!)

I'm guessing there will be zero or very few games on NBS /Versus. When there are so many American teams, NBC tends to want to just show tow American teams playing.
From what I understand of how the NHL network works is tehy show all out of market games that are broadcast for a team so you'll likely be able to watch many games on that.

Do you mean the NHL Network, or NHL Center Ice? I think NHL Center Ice has something like 40 out of town games a week. I'm not sure what the NHL Network shows? I think they do have some live games, but I'm not certain they have a lot of them. However if they show all the Winnipeg games, that would be cheaper than NHL Center Ice. Anyone know? |

I don't get Center Ice--I'm the only one in the family who gives two sticks about hockey.
But I do get NHL Network, and they usually broadcast a couple games a week, right?
I know MLB Network broadcasts 4 games a week out-of-market (it's helped me see a ton more of my Mets than I would have otherwise) and they HAVE to show that first game...
If nothing else their "On the Fly" show goes around the games quickly for live look-ins, so that might work a bit.

I have to ask the channel that broadcasts the games in my part of the world which games they're gonna feature and hope that at least ONE Jets game is shown! While I'd prefer a Minnesota-Winnipeg game to be shown, I'd take any I can get considering my circumstances! |
