Stanley Cup playoffs

During the playoffs, TSN has third, fifth, seventh, and eighth choices of first-round series, second and fourth in the second round, and second in the conference finals. This means that there is the possibility of TSN covering a Canadian team during the playoffs.^[6] This happened during the 2009 Stanley Cup playoffs, as TSN televised the Calgary Flames' first-round series against the Chicago Blackhawks and in the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs when the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Washington Capitals in seven games.

Notes

• 1998 - Due to the television premiere of the film Apollo 13, Game 3 of the Colorado-Edmonton playoff series was seen on both CBC and TSN, using CBC's feed. CBC's end of the deal was regionally televised west of Ontario, while TSN broadcast the game east of Manitoba.
• 2003 - Game 2 of the New Jersey-Boston was not televised as TSN instead, aired the World Curling Championships from Winnipeg.
  • Game 3 of the Detroit-Anaheim series was joined-in- progress after the completion of WWE Raw. Likewise, Game 6 of the Dallas-Anaheim series was joined-in-progress after the completion of WWE Raw.

Notes

1.^ Jim Hughson left TSN during the 1994–95 NHL lockout. When the season resumed, Paul Romanuk succeeded Hughson as TSN's lead play-by-play announcer and Dan Shulman succeeded Romanuk as the network's secondary announcer.

2.^ In 1993, Gord Miller filled in for Jim Hughson after the death of his father.^[4]
