Hockey game is tied (Fallout)

[Merlinsky]

You know what that means. Overtime on NBC. Darn thing could run even into double overtime, who knows. What's going on with Preakness coverage?

They are on the air from Pimlico right now, 4:50pm.

This is annoying, not that I'm complaining about extra coverage but if I hadn't looked to check the match's progress, I never would've seen Gary Stevens giving the weather report for the cloudy skies over Pimlico.

IF, that's a big if, the game is still in overtime, I bet NBC figures out a way to at least show the race live.

I think they just announced that they are NOT going to show the hockey game. That, my friends, would be astonishing.

Hockey has now hit a new low.

All the guys with mullets and no teeth are crosschecking innocent bystanders in multiple bars across the Great White North.

I'm stunned, they're actually airing things like they said they would. Not only that, they kinda jumped in a little early (annoying only because I can't watch both at the same time). Wow. Maybe NBC's not as incompetent as I'd come to believe. I wonder who we have to thank. In the past, they've screwed us over so perhaps an epiphany over the awesomeness of horse racing or more likely someone yelled at them.

Hockey game was moved to the Versus network except in the Buffalo area where NBC will continue with the game. Canada need not fear - different network is carrying game up there .

Is this a first for horse racing? Normally events like the Little League World Series and various women's tenis matches bump us.
