Reasonably certain the decision to carry the Habs game on the CBC was a Rogers call. Their bean counters probably feel that Montreal will draw a bigger audience. And as we all know, Rogers is all about the money.
CBC has bailed on OTT-TOR as the headline game for a Saturday night because the Leafs are sucking and, I guess, they don't seem to think anyone wants to watch the MEDIA SENSATION known as the Senators and the Hamburglar. We've been relegated to SportsNet while the Habs/Sharks get top HNIC billing on CBC.

Nothing quite says Hockey Night in Canada than SanJose California's team. 😊
