Yup in the Chicagoland area. I have RCN Cable.

It says at the bottom of CNBC that the event is blacked out in the area. It's playing some documentary on CNBC.

Before you do that, double check that it's not on your NBCSN alternate and MSNBC. Then, definitely give 'em a call to find out why it's being blacked out. If you were in mid-southern IL, it could make sense, but you would most likely then be able to watch on FS-Midwest.

Yeah, I don't think any of the other channels are showing it.

I called RCN but the guy said that RCN itself has no control over it. It's usually a region thing which I don't really understand. Regardless though, didn't really seem like he could do anything about it. It might just be a mistake or something because I was able to watch game 1 on CNBC just fine.

I'll just watch this online.

Thanks for the help UMan and Cap.

He's right about it being a regional issue, but like you said you were able to watch game 1; something is screwy, you're not in the St. Louis market.

I should have mentioned, as for the blacking out, it's done to ensure local markets watch their local's telecast instead of the nationally televised telecast (or simulcast).

Yeah, exactly. If it was on another channel, I'd happily watch.

Granted it's a couple of pages back- but uh, dude, if you're going to cry about every dud draft pick the Hawks had - who could they have had instead of Ty Jones? Instead of Cam Barker? Instead of -well name one -- there are quite a few duds from the first round.

but I guess that would be too hard, right?

Glad Ottawa tied the series. I hope they can pull off the upset of the Rangers.

Has anyone else taken notice of how Gaustad takes faceoffs on his off side?

Completely bad ass. Takes the face off as a righty, even though he is a lefty. Just won one against the Red Wings this way.

Preds are scarey, when is the last time you have seen the Red Wings take this many undisciplined penalties? A whole lot of frustration going on.

Well, I was dead on about the Pens. If they get past the Flyers, they have a good shot at winning it all. But right now it doesn't look like they'll get past em.
