Does anyone know if Dish is going to have the Canadian Rogers Sportsnet Pacific feed for this game and if they are, will they be showing the 1 hour pregame ceremony where the Canucks are going to retire Linden's #?

Both Edmonton's and Vancouver's feeds are on the guide starting 10:30pm ET, so probably no ceremony

I just find that dumb then. Why can't they turn on the feed an hour earlier so that people can see the pregame festivities?

Not sure, only pre- and post-game show I've seen on CI it's for the Avalanche and HNIC on NHL network

Hmmmm, I wonder if NHL Network will be carrying it?

it's on the guide for thursday 2-4pm ET, but probably all you'll get are highlights from the ceremony

With other pre-game ceremonies (most recently Patrick Roy at Montreal), the ceremony precedes the game but doesn't start before the scheduled game time. That ceremony was broadcast in full.

Therefore, I expect this ceremony will be broadcast in full as well.

Gotta love how the NHL gives us an HD feed of the game the next day on replay and it isn't in HD live on CI. I've been DVR'ing the replays and skipping the absolute piss poor SD quality they are dumping on us with CI.

The Vancouver feed started 1 hour before gametime and the ceremony was broadcast in full.

Center Ice has been good in showing these pre-game ceremonies. In prior years, they also used to show post game interviews, etc. (at least on the Sabres' feed), but this year they cut the broadcasts off within seconds of the games' completion...
