Direct from NESN.  Due to "prior obligations" (must be code for Red Sox
exhibition baseball), they will not be showing either the East or West
regionals this weekend, so folks in New England who cannot make it to
Providence or Detroit will apparently be left in the dark.  They say they
*will* be showing the semifinals from Albany.
 
Bob Kurtz (hockey play-by-play) had said during Hockeyfest that they did
not plan to carry the selection show; however, they made the late decision
to carry it.  I suppose it is possible that they could change their minds
and show this weekend's action, but it really does not sound like it.  Their
number is 617-536-9233 for anyone who wants to give them a call.
