Because I am such a slave to Samsung national TV scheduling. :)
Well, not much else to report on, so I filtered down the NHL's newly-released national TV schedule down to the BoC-relevant games. A fairly strong showing this season with 29 games overall, including one Kings-Sharks tilt.

At the bottom I've tallied the home and away games shown by team -- Kings lead the pack, but largely because they have more earlier-in-the-day home games, it seems. Only one BoC game on the entire national schedule has a Pacific start time after 6 pm.
For most of us, this probably won't matter too much -- with TV packages being what they are, most fans who care enough can watch whatever games they want. But still, for some of us, less Brian Hayward is a very, very, very good thing. :)
Anyways, go national exposure.
