I'm sure the ice will melt soon. I've been watching all the playoffs on CMT, Hockey Night in Canada, great coverage and Don Cherry at intermission.
I was a little concerned they would stop showing games after all the Canadian teams were out, but that's not the case. They did however draw the line at Phoenix-Nashville, and I had to watch on NBC.

I read an article about this. CMT was allowed to cover two series and they chose both series in the East. Don Cherry is entertaining even if you can't always agree with him.

My favorite Don Chery moment so far this year was when he said something like, "These refs, whats wrong with them, I mean drop the F-ing puck already."
I swear he nearly said the F word.

i don't care for cherry at all.
the howling made me laugh, almost as funny as the growls for the panthers.

Mike Emrick is the BEST play by player going today, any sport!

Emrick is pretty great, no doubt about that.

Can you imagine the ratings (or lack thereof) if, well, any of the four teams in the west make the finals? There hasn't been a frozen pond anywhere near LA or Phoenix since the Ice Age, and Nashville is hardly a hockey hotbed either. St. Louis at least has some tradition, though none of it has been recent. Thankfully, any of the Caps, Rangers, Flyers, and Devils would provide some sort of storyline as the Eastern Conference champs.

I can understand that. I don't care for Jeremy Roenick.

Phoenix-LA in the WCF. What is this, the WCHL?
