If the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals have been any indication, get ready for a long Monday night. The Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins hook up for Game 3 of the Finals, and the first two have seen a combined four overtime sessions. The series is tied at a game apiece, and tonight’s battle in Boston will begin at 8 PM ET on NBC Sports Network.

Those who aren’t into hockey have a nice set of options on Monday’s daily sports menu. You can catch the team with the best record in baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals, as they host the Chicago Cubs at 7 PM ET on ESPN.

Posted by Dan Flaherty in Daily Sports, Home Page

What a weekend of championship action across the sports spectrum is ahead. From hoops to hockey to golf to baseball. From the rains of Merion to the fields of Omaha, to the Riverwalk of San Antonio to the shores of Lake Michigan, the stakes are high. Okay, enough melodrama, let’s get to the weekend in daily sports TV action, going one time slot at a time…

SATURDAY EARLY: U.S. Open golf coverage is on NBC, starting at noon ET, and this will be all-day stuff on both Saturday and Sunday. By 3 PM ET, the College World Series starts up in Omaha, with Oregon State-Mississippi State on ESPN2. An hour later, and its major league baseball. MLB Network has split coverage of Red Sox-Orioles and Giants-Braves starting at 4 PM ET.

Friday has a pretty quiet schedule for TV daily sports. Unless, that is, you’re a golf-lover, and you can spend all day watching the second day of the U.S. Open on ESPN. Or, if you’re stuck at work, just make sure you don’t know the results and then tune into the same network at 8 PM ET for a “Best of the U.S. Open” feature.

Daily Sports: The Fight For The Cup Starts In Chicago

Jun 12
Posted by Dan Flaherty in Daily Sports, Home Page

The Stanley Cup Finals get underway tonight, as the Boston Bruins pay a visit to the Windy City. NBC has to be loving the matchup, with the nation’s third and fourth-largest markets involved, and both having large and passionate hockey fan bases. The puck drops at 8 PM ET. TheSportsNotebook’s NHL analysis previewed the Finals yesterday.

Wednesday’s daily sports menu is subordinate to the Bruins-Blackhawks, but there are other options. ESPN will have baseball action, with the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers meeting at 7 PM ET. The Tribe is really slumping right now, and while I love Terry Francona and believe he’ll get the job done over time, there’s just no starting pitching depth. I think things get worse here before they get better.
