 "Hockey Night in Canada" moved all playoff coverage from CBC to CTV (in actuality, MacLaren Advertising, Ltd., the actual rights holders of "HNIC" at the time, worked out arrangements with CTV to move the full NHL playoffs there) to avoid conflict with the lengthy NABET strike against the CBC.In the United States, CBS took a rather calculated risk in not televising the game five match on May 9 (CBS aired regular programming, including the original "Hawaii Five-O" in that time period on that Tuesday night).This was despite the fact that game five was a potential clincher with the Bruins up three games to one on the Rangers.
