The CBC main network and cbc bold (the cbc's digital channel) will both be showing the game live starting at 4pm ---

BUT, the main network will be showing the hockey game at 1:30 pm and if it goes into overtime and the game is still going on when 4pm rolls around, they're not gonna cut away to Toronto FC until the hockey game is done.

CBCSports.ca will be streaming the game live at 4pm (regardless of what's going in the hockey game), SO if you tune into the main network and the hockey game is still going on, go to cbcsports.ca to watch the live stream (or watch it on bold).

Just wanted to give you a guys a warning about this.

cheers,

John Molinaro
CBCSports.ca reporter

I don't think so... trucks are probably tied up with hockey.

I doubt it - but on the other hand, I saw something about TFC on Rogers HD preview channel noting that the next two games would both be in HD. Being a cynic, I think Rogers is wrong.

Thanks John, even though I will be at the game, everyone watching at home or in their favourite bar will appreciate the info.

I'll be at the game, but for all those that this info will help, it's just another evidence of how the Americans are to blame for this possible crisis ---a Stanley Cup playoff being played at such an ungodly time to please those at the networks (possibly promises made by Gary Bettman to some tv execs). God created hockey to be played on Saturday nights at 7:30 EST....IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT!!! IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT!!! IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT!!!
