NHL Awards Show Delayed To 11:00 p.m. In U.S.
Dear God, can the NHL do anything right?
That's the question I'm asking, now that I actually took the time to watch the NHL Awards Show. For some reason that I can't ascertain, the show, which according to who you consulted, was set to air beginning at 7:00 or 7:30 p.m. EDT, is being delayed until 11:00 p.m.
What the Hell?
James Mirtle is live blogging the show at the NHL Fanhouse. Go there for real time updates.
UPDATE: Apparently, there's some problem with the satellite feed from Toronto. Be sure to call Versus to complain: (203)406-2500. And no, I won't be staying up late to watch.
FINAL UPDATE: The Globe and Mail has the final details:
A CBC broadcast truck almost caught fire during the network's telecast of the NHL Awards show from the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto.
Technical problems resulted, the worst of which affected Versus in the United States. The overheated CBC truck caused transmission difficulties forcing the U.S. cable channel to cancel its live telecast. Instead, it aired a World Combat League show and carried a tape delay of the NHL show at 11 p.m. EDT.
Sometimes bad luck is the only luck you have.

It's funny that people on that board are complaining that MMA is on instead. Hmm... I wonder which will get the better ratings?
