As I understand the $inal $our $ormat,ESPN has the rights to carry the Semis
 and the Final.  However,ESPN will probably sell the rights to the Semi-$inals
 (last year I believe NESN bought the right to show UMaine-NMU)  I believe that
 the asking price from ESPN would be too high for the local stations to bid,
 although Dale Duff from TV2 in Bangor seemed confident that they would win the
 right to braodcast this weekend from Providence.
    In any event,the semis are almost guaranteed to be on somewhere,and I have
 already seen ESPN and Tom Mees(Hockey reporter) hyping their coverage
 of the $inal.
