Hockey on the Golf Channel??? (merged)

[deadsolid...shank]

Are they really telecasting an NHL playoff game tonight on the GC? Or is there some kind of spoof or joke I'm missing?

[Hawkeye77]

I thought the 7 inches of snow I'm watching that will bring our April total to an unbelievable 36" was a sign of the Apocalypse, but two hockey games on GC trumps that.

[jaymayor]

Clearly trying to draw some more Canadian viewers.

[finleysg]

Many of the best players I know are former hockey players. There's a connection in the athletic side of the two sports, so maybe it's a natural for GC?

More about NBC not preempting other stuff, or so it seems.

They'd only be preempting a re run of Tin Cup on GC.

I'd rather watch playoff hockey on the GC than 'Shotmakers' on the GC

I'd rather watch competitive quilt making than Shotmakers. Little hockey would be a bonus.

[br61]

Might give me an excuse to watch TGC for once whenever golf isn't on.

I assume it's NBC's way to get NHL playoffs on the air without tieing up any of their main network channels or having to preempt any more valuable programming.

 

If I were a hockey fan I'd probably think its a pretty good deal.

Yes they are. Go Bolts!!!

[DavePelz4]

Same thing on CNBC on Monday night replacing Shark Tank with hockey. And I was all set for the re-run on the Squatty Potty.

Best. Deal. Ever.

Now TGC is playing NHL Hockey? WTH is going on there???

[Pingfitz]

nbc is ruining the GC.

[Steele47]

Yeah saw that. Wonder if they'll have Judy Rankin providing analysis.

[dbleag]

NBC "ruined" The Golf Channel.

[BlackDiamondPar5]

Look at the bright side... If cbs were running the GC, they'd start coverage after the hockey game was over :)

[cbbaron]

Part of NBC family need a channel to show a game would you rather watch Shotmakers?

[TheLarch]

From 6:30 pm through 12:30 am tonight there is six hours of NHL hockey on Golf Channel. I hate hockey. That being said, anything's better than Shotmakers.

[Cwing]

I don’t hate hockey but I don’t want hockey on the golf channel.

Most Aprils the Maple Leafs are booking Golf times, now golf is booking them!

 

Heyyyyoooooooo

[Cwing]

Not good.

This is the obvious answer, but yes, I’d rather see golf on The Golf Channel!

[williamsnrb]

What is going on? NBC has many sports channels. NBC: please leave the golf channel alone. I only have my cable subscription for the golf channel. If this stuff continues, it may be the perfect time to cut the cord.

[vernon]

And until after midnight? This is nuts.

 

I thought my remote was screwed up or Dish changed the channel lineup without me knowing.

God forbid late game goes into double overtime or looking at 2am EST

[GolfRat1]

Very disturbing indeed!

[lawst4days]

Why are the comentators yelling at me on the golf channel and what is this weird form of golf on ice?

 

Is this some alternate reality where Al Czervik takes over golf?
