During the Stanley Cup Playoffs, games featuring all Canadian teams are shown as far as they go in the tournment. All Semifinals(Conference Championships)and Cup Final matches are shown regardless if it an US or Canadian based team. Thousands of viewers at US Border towns such as Buffalo, Detroit and others with access to CBC via Cable/Salelite also watch.
The show in recent years is most famous for the "Coach's Corner' segment featuring HNIC Commentator and Former Boston Bruins Coach Don Cherry offering insights about both the game in progress and NHL headlines to Co-Host Ron Mclean.
