If you live in New England or will be there this weekend, here is the cable schedule for NESN and New England Sportschannel. Between these two, you'll be able to see all four conference championship games. Get those VCRs warmed up. I'm sure some of the ECAC/HE games will be picked up by some cable companies around the country, just as NESN and SC are picking up the Western games. And lucky folks with access to dishes will need this to know when they can catch the ECAC/HE games. ALL times listed are EST. Note that the CCHA games are NOT being shown live in New England. Friday 3/8 5:00 pm NESN Hockey East Semifinal #1 LIVE: Prov-BU 8:00 pm NESN Hockey East Semifinal #2 LIVE: Northeastern-Maine 11:00 pm SC CCHA Semifinal #1 TAPE: W. Mich-LSSU Saturday 3/9 1:00 am NESN Hockey East Semifinal #1 TAPE: Prov-BU 4:00 am NESN Hockey East Semifinal #2 TAPE: Northeastern-Maine 7:00 am SC CCHA Semifinal #2 TAPE: Ferris State-Michigan 5:00 pm NESN ECAC Semifinal #1 LIVE: St Lawrence-Cornell 8:00 pm NESN ECAC Semifinal #2 LIVE: Harvard-Clarkson 11:00 pm SC CCHA Championship TAPE: FSU/Mich-WMU/LSSU Sunday 3/10 5:00 pm NESN Hockey East Championship LIVE: PC/BU-NU/Maine 8:00 pm NESN ECAC Championship LIVE: SLU/Corn-Harv/Clarkson Monday 3/11 9:00 am NESN Hockey East Championship TAPE: PC/BU-NU/Maine 12:00 pm NESN ECAC Championship TAPE: SLU/Corn-Harv/Clarkson 8:00 pm NESN WCHA Championship LIVE: Wis/Minn-NoDak/NMU Tuesday 3/12 9:00 am NESN WCHA Championship TAPE: Wis/Minn-NoDak/NMU Program lengths for taped events are listed as three hours, while live ones can be anything. If a game goes into overtime, they will usually cut out the between-periods part if necessary to keep the show under three hours. Also, don't expect the 8:00 pm games to start on time any of the three nights at the Garden because of warmups, etc. If you're taping from NESN live any of the three nights, I suggest buying some 8-hour tapes. You'll also be sorry if the late game goes into overtime and you miss it. Or you could tape Friday's and Sunday's games from the replay instead (Saturday's ECAC games will NOT be shown on replay, at least not before Tuesday). The Bruins are hosting Toronto at 1:30 Saturday afternoon, but the first ECAC semifinal is scheduled to start at 5:00. That may end up being delayed a bit. - mike, eastern cable guru
