This...CBC won't ever pick the Sens over the Leafs. Ever. Too many people watch the Leafs games to even consider it.
It is very rare that the Sens are picked over the Leafs. The game LoneSteele mentioned was March 24, 2012. Still, Sask. Man. Que. and most of Ontario saw other games. Looking back, it was March 8, 2008 when the Sens played in Phoenix and were promoted to semi-national coverage (being shown in the prairies, Ottawa area, and Quebec). It was Dec. 15, 2001 when the Devils-Sens HNIC game was promoted to full national coverage over the Leafs-Habs game due to a CBC labour dispute with the camera technicians.Not necessarily true. They did last year for one late-season game vs. Crosby and the Pens. I loved it; I (in Alberta) don't often get to watch Sens on Saturdays because Center Ice won't pick up CBC games and Leafs are almost always on primetime Saturday nights.
That being said. I agree that the Sens alone aren't enough of a draw even compared to an out-of-playoffs Leafs team.
