NHL Playoffs on NBC Sports

http://sportsmediajournal.com


For the second consecutive year, the NBC Sports Group will air every NHL Playoff game on a national network.
For the first round of the playoffs games will air on NBC, NBC Sports Network, CNBC, or the NHL Network.  The NBC Sports Network will be the anchor for the coverage, airing one or two games each night during the first round.
During the second round NBC, NBC Sports Network and CNBC will be carrying games live.  NBC and the NBC Sports Network will be the home for the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Finals.
Once again the lead announcing crew will feature Mike Emrick, Ed Olczyk and Pierre McGuire.  The networks have not announced what the other announcer pairings will be.
In terms of the studio coverage Liam McHugh, Mike Milbury, and Keith Jones will man the studio for games airing on NBC and NBC Sports Network, with Bill Patrick and Jeremy Roenick working the studio for CNBC games. Host Russ Thalerand analysts Mike Keenan and Anson Carter form an additional team of studio commentators during the NHL playoffs.
