During this period, Hockey Night in Canada studio shows were still originate on-site. Ward Cornell hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs broadcasts until 1972 when Dave Hodge replaced him as the host. Jack Dennett, Howie Meeker, and Bob Goldham, who also serves as the color commentator, were the studio analysts. From 1971 to 1979, Brian McFarlane, Mike Anscombe, and Dave Reynolds hosted the telecast from the Montreal Forum. Starting in 1977, Dick Irvin Jr. hosted the telecast and The Fisher Report at the Montreal Forum with newspaper columnist Red Fisher, In the 1975, 1976, and 1979, Bill Good, Ted Reynolds, and Steve Armitage hosted the Vancouver Canucks games. Brian McFarlane presented the Peter Puck and Showdown with Howie Meeker. These intermission features provided emphasis for each regional telecast.

Game 1 of the New York Rangers-Montreal series was seen only on CFCF Montreal while Game 4 not televised due to a lockout of technicians at the Montreal Forum), and then the full semifinals and Stanley Cup Finals. Because CTV did not have 100% penetration in Canada at this time, they asked CBC (who ultimately refused) to allow whatever one of their affiliates were the sole network in that market to show the playoffs.

When Game 7 of the 1975 playoff series between Pittsburgh and the New York Islanders took place, Bill Hewitt's Toronto Maple Leafs were already eliminated, the team of Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin Jr. were prepping for the Buffalo-Montreal series, and Brian McFarlane was assisting NBC for their Game 1 coverage of the aforementioned Montreal-Buffalo series the next day (April 26).
