CBC's exclusive window to negotiate with the NHL expires next month,so if it elapses,what happens to Hockey Night in Canada(HNIC,from now on)??? CBC can give the NHL greater time on air than TSN,or CTV,and they will make up to $400 million,or more,for broadcasting rights of the NHL,and the Stanley Cup playoffs... HNIC is 60 seasons strong,and i honestly believe that the NHL,and CBC will work out a deal,but they had trouble in 2006,and 2007,because NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman wanted to spread out NHL games,and gave CBC the hard real shaft,by putting off the negotiations with CBC,until the very bitter end of time allowed,in negotiations...
