Red Fisher on A New Season of the New NHL on NBC (Montreal Gazette)

I am excited, and I hope you are, too, that NHL on NBC is embarking on its second season this afternoon with a national Game of the Week featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins visiting Philadelphia.

(Everybody wants to see the No. 30 Flyers, right? Regional games include the Boston Bruins at New York Rangers)

I am also excited over the fact that NBC Sports coordinating producer Sam Flood wants you to know that "the wonderful thing about our group is that everyone is a total 'puckhead.' "

(Close, but no cigar, Sam).

On the other hand, I want Sam to know that he's lost me before the first puck is dropped for the very good reason that while the No. 30 Flyers will be seen four times, you won't find a Canadian team anywhere on the schedule.
