NHL Sunday: Red Wings score key win

Usually, I am not someone who questions what seem like sort of basic decisions networks make. That’s because I understand that there’s almost always a context for the decisions made by the sports TV people. However, Sunday seems to have a bit of a senseless move by NBC with their NHL coverage.

The St. Louis Blues host the Chicago Blackhawks today on the peacock network. It should be an entertaining game between the top team in the Western Conference and one of their major divisional rivals, who also happen to likely be headed for a playoff spot. The Blues are not guaranteed a post-season berth yet, however, so there is a decent amount at stake.
