Are you sure about this? On Thursday night, there is Ott vs NYR and Bos vs Wsh. You say that CBC will show the Boston game instead of Ottawa? Hmmm...

It doesn't make sense. I can't see CBC airing the Boston game on Thursday night when a Canadian game is available. I think CBC will be at the Boston game "for bonus coverage". Not for the entire game. -

Boris - You're right. The involvment of a Canadian team almost always takes priority for the CBC regarding their viewing audience. -

Listening to CBC radio and it sounds like the primary game in Onatrio will be Ottawa, the rest of the country gets Boston as the primary game. Doesn't matter to most people anymore, as most folks receive more than one CBC station, so they can watch which ever game they want. -

I based this original post based on what I read from Mother Corp's home page.In the East, HNIC will follow the Ottawa Senators, who earned the eighth and final playoff spot in the conference with a 41-31-10 record for 92 points and will face the top-seeded New York Rangers. The series kicks off Thursday at 7 p.m. ET.
Other quarter-finals available to HNIC viewers are the Nashville Predators-Detroit Red Wings series (Game 1 Wednesday at 7 p.m. CT) and Boston Bruins-Washington Capitals matchup (Game 1 Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET).
Needless to say, I will be very, very, very, very, very annoyed, if I find the ugly Blue Rangers skating on my TV screen -

Okay so it must mean CBC - Montreal, East (Halifax) , Ottawa and Toronto will show Ottawa. Then CBC- Winnipeg, West, Vancouver will show the Bruins.
With my Bell subscription I have about 7 regional CBC channels and 2 in HD, CBC-west and CBC-east
