NBC is a Game of the Week no-show

Does NHL really want to expand the viewing audience in the US? If so, then they need to find a vehicle other than NBC to do it. Not once during today's game did I see NBC show a replay of an infraction. On the first penalty I thought NBC wanted to slip in an extra advert and had no time to show the penalty but that apparently wasn't the case because the replays were omitted all afternoon. I'd hate to be a casual fan tuning in to this much-hyped match up only to be left wondering what puts a player in the penalty box. There was no commentary on any infraction but we sure got replays if Ovechkin and Crosby came within spitting distance of each other. Mike Emrick, long-time play-by-play man for the Devils, should know better. Fans would be better served if NBC/CBS/ABC/FOX would just pass through a feed out of Canada.

Ovechkin gets the 8

I didn't see this out on Japers' anywhere so I thought I'd toss it out there. I think Komisarek should be wearing it given his seniority, and I wonder if Alex had input toward the decision.
