MSG Network will carry the 2005 NHL Entry Draft on July 30th beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET. The draft will be held at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa with representatives from all 30 teams in attendance.

Stan Fischler will provide additional commentary from the MSG SportsDesk studio in New York as MSG Network carries the TSN feed of the draft.

MSG has good hockey coverage, especially compared to our alternatives. I watched their lottery draft coverage and it was quite good IMO.

Plus it's for 3 hours. Which is way rad.

3 hours of Stan Fischler going into his Goodenow-inspired tourettes. Hmmm. Pass.

i read that the draft was live on NHL.com, but not to canadian residents... maybe you guys could get that.

Its a godsend for us in the UK anyway. their draft lottery/new CBA coverage was great

Are we in the Buffalo/Niagara area gonna be able to actually watch the draft on MSG? Or will they play something else instead? They never play what it says on the guide on my tv.

people, people...

his will be nothing more than simulcasting TSN's coverage...
just like ESPN has done in the past...

Fischler won't be on that much...

Actaully I was shocked to find an unblocked Rangers Classic game on the other night.

Damn. Where was I??

I know Altitude, the Avs RSN, is carrying the draft as well. For those that have DirecTV's SPorts Pack and want to avoid Stan.

ComCast in Chicago is carrying it as well.

Side note. I saw Josh Mora doing ComCast's sports show (SportsNite or whatever it's alled) the other day. I didn't know he'd moved there. Might have to start watching ComCast more often now.
