*On April 9, 1980, [[CBC Television|CBC]] carried the [[ACTRA Award|ACTRA awards]] ceremony. This caused Game 2 of [[1979–80 Hartford Whalers season|Hartford]]-[[1979–80 Montreal Canadiens season|Montreal]] and [[1979–80 Edmonton Oilers season|Edmonton]]-[[1979–80 Philadelphia Flyers season|Philadelphia]] playoff games not to be televised. Meanwhile, the [[1979–80 Toronto Maple Leafs season|Toronto]]-[[1979–80 Minnesota North Stars season|Minnesota]] game was shifted to [[CHCH-TV|CHCH]] in [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]] while the [[1979–80 Vancouver Canucks season|Vancouver]]-[[1979–80 Buffalo Sabres season|Buffalo]] game was televised by CBC regionally in [[British Columbia]] as usual. The ACTRA awards show was [[Broadcast delay|tape-delayed]] into [[prime time]] on the [[British Columbia Coast|west coast]].
⚫
=== Notes ===
  
  ⚫
*Aside from the [[1982 Stanley Cup Finals]], [[Hockey Night in Canada|CBC]]'s only other nationally televised playoff games from that year were the April 23 [[1981–82 Boston Bruins season|Boston]]-[[1981–82 Quebec Nordiques season|Quebec]] game (Game 6), the April 25 Quebec-Boston game (Game 7), and the May 6 [[1981–82 Vancouver Canucks season|Vancouver]]-[[1981–82 Chicago Black Hawks season|Chicago]] game (Game 5), all other games were seen regionally.
⚫
* On April 9, 1980, CBC carried the ACTRA awards ceremony. This caused the Hartford-Montreal and Edmonton-Philadelphia playoff games not to be televised. Meanwhile, the Toronto-Minnesota game was shifted to CHCH in Hamilton while the Vancouver-Buffalo game was televised by CBC regionally in British Columbia as usual. The ACTRA awards show was tape-delayed into prime time on the west coast.
  
  ⚫
*[[NHL on CTV|CTV]] had the national rights for the 1986 [[1985–86 Calgary Flames season|Calgary]]-[[1985–86 St. Louis Blues season|St. Louis]] playoff series, except in the [[CFCN-TV|Calgary market]], for which [[Hockey Night in Canada|CBC]] and [[Molson]] retained exclusive rights to. CTV was unable to televise Games 2 and 3 of this series due to prior commitments. Meanwhile, CBC was allowed to televise Games 2 and 3 to all of [[CBRT (TV)|Alberta]] and [[CBUT|British Columbia]], but not nationally.

* Aside from the 1982 Stanley Cup Finals, CBC's only other nationally televised postseason games (all of the other games were seen regionally) from that year were the April 23 Boston-Quebec game (Game 6), the April 25 Quebec-Boston game (Game 7), and the May 6 Vancouver-Chicago game (Game 5).

*On April 18, 1988 (during Game 1 of the [[Bruins–Canadiens rivalry|Montréal-Boston]] playoff series) at approximately 8:08 p.m. local time, there was a power outage in the province of [[Quebec]]. While darkness enveloped [[Montreal]] and the [[Montreal Forum|Forum]] itself, the Forum's reserve generators kicked into gear. The generators were only able to illuminate the rink surface with enough power to keep the game moving. Ultimately, CBC was left with no choice but to abandon coverage following the 1st period.

* CTV had the national rights for the 1986 Calgary-St. Louis playoff series, except in the Calgary market, for which CBC and Molson retained exclusive rights to. CTV was unable to televise Games 2 and 3 of this series due to prior commitments. Meanwhile, CBC was allowed to televise Games 2 and 3 to all of Alberta and British Columbia, but not nationally.

**On April 18, 1988, [[Chris Cuthbert]] was assigned by CBC to report and provide updates on Game 1 of [[1987–88 Washington Capitals season|Washington]]-[[1987–88 New Jersey Devils season|New Jersey]] playoff series. However, when the Quebec blackout affected CBC's coverage of the Game 1 of the Boston-Montreal playoff series, CBC decided to throw to Cuthbert and the solitary camera beside him in his coverage position to work the remainder of game 1. The whole process was totally done off the cuff. In other words, there were no graphics, no replay capabilities, and no analyst.

Notes

  • On April 9, 1980, CBC carried the ACTRA awards ceremony. This caused Game 2 of Hartford-Montreal and Edmonton-Philadelphia playoff games not to be televised. Meanwhile, the Toronto-Minnesota game was shifted to CHCH in Hamilton while the Vancouver-Buffalo game was televised by CBC regionally in British Columbia as usual. The ACTRA awards show was tape-delayed into prime time on the west coast.
  • Aside from the 1982 Stanley Cup Finals, CBC's only other nationally televised playoff games from that year were the April 23 Boston-Quebec game (Game 6), the April 25 Quebec-Boston game (Game 7), and the May 6 Vancouver-Chicago game (Game 5), all other games were seen regionally.
