Template:Short description

Throughout this period, Hockey Night in Canada studio shows were still originate on-site including the Stanley Cup Finals. Dave Hodge hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs games at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, and Dick Irvin, Jr. hosted the Montréal Canadiens games and The Fisher Report at the Forum in Montreal with Canadiens journalist Red Fisher. Steve Armitage hosts the Vancouver Canucks games, and Chris Cuthbert hosted the games in Alberta - either the Calgary Flames or Edmonton Oilers. Brian McFarlane hosted the Winnipeg Jets or Montreal Canadiens games or telecasts in the United States. This allowed for on-air talent, including commentators for the show, and their guests (often ex-players and players in their community) to provide further insights of their personal lives. Since the 1987 playoffs, Ron MacLean and Don Cherry hosted Coach's Corner, a show that was broadcast across Canada.

Notes

  • 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.
  • Aside from the 1982 Stanley Cup Finals, CBC's only other nationally televised postseason games from that year were the Edmonton-Los Angeles game (April 12), the Boston-Quebec game (April 23), the deciding game seven between them at Boston Garden (April 25), and the Vancouver-Chicago game (May 6). All other games were seen regionally.
  • 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.
  • In 1987, the first round series was extended to a best-of-7 series. In previous years, that round was a best-of-5. Like previous years, every round after the first was a best-of-7 series.
  • On April 18, 1988 (during Game 1 of the Montreal-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 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 first period.[152][153]
    • That same day, Chris Cuthbert was assigned by CBC to report and provide updates on Game 1 of Washington-New Jersey playoff series. However, when the Quebec blackout affected CBC's coverage of the Game 1 of the Boston-Montreal playoff series, the network threw to him and the solitary camera beside him in his coverage position to work the rest of this game. The whole process was totally done off the cuff. In other words, there were no graphics, no replay capabilities, and no analyst.[152][153][154][155]
  • CanWest-Global aired the 1988 Edmonton-Calgary playoff series nationally, except for the Edmonton and Calgary markets, where CBC retained exclusive rights.
