This is the thread for the 1980 Stanley Cup TV crews, where the division standings didn't mean a thing. It was a straight league-wide standing that determined the playoff opponents.
Please alert with errors or omissions. It is appreciated.

Note: On 4/9, CBC carried the ACTRA awards ceremony. This caused the HAR-MTL and EDM-PHI games not to be televised. The TOR-MIN game was shifted to CHCH in Hamilton (B. Hewitt-McFarlane) while the VAN-BUF was televised by CBC regionally in BC as usual as
the ACTRA awards show was tape-delayed into prime time on the west coast.

Game 5, 5/22, CBC. Bob Cole (1st half), Dan Kelly (2nd half), Gary Dornhoefer, Dick Irvin
Game 6, 5/24, CBC. Jim Robson, Gary Dornhoefer, Dick Irvin
Notes:
1st half and 2nd half?! For the first five games of the final, either Cole or Robson would do pxp for the first period and the first half of the second period. At the closest stoppage of play near the 10 minute mark of the second period, Cole or Robson
would hand off the call to Dan Kelly for the duration of the game.
The 1980 Final woud be the first of 29 consecutive Stnaley Cup Finals that Bob Cole would have a hand in calling for CBC television.

Note: Game 6 of the Final was the first full network telecast of an NHL game since game 5 of the 1975 Stanley Cup Final (game 2 of the 1979 Challenge Cup was only seen on CBS for the third period, IIRC). There would not be another NHL game on network
television for another 10 years (1990 NHL All-Star Game).
1981
For the first time in the U.S., there was "blanket" coverage of the NHL playoffs. Meaning that, more foten than not that a game was played, it was televised on a national outlet. From this point on, each game will be listed the same as with the Canadian
crews.
As always, any citing of errors or omissions is appreciated.

Some newspapers list USA as carrying "Masters of Hockey" in the 5/1 prime time slot, while other papers lists USA as carrying game 3 of the Conference Finals. So as of this time, it is uncertain if USA did carry game 3 (if so, likely the CHI-VAN game) or
not. Confirmation on this is greatly appreciated.

CHCH in Hamilton, respectively. The Vancouver-Buffalo game was televised by CBC regionally in British Columbia as usual, as the ACTRA awards show was tape-delayed into prime time on the west coast.

Notes:
1st half and 2nd half?! For the first five games of the final, either Cole or Robson would do play-by-play for the first period and the first half of the second period. At the closest stoppage of play near the 10 minute mark of the second period, Cole or
Robson would hand off the call to Dan Kelly for the duration of the game.
The 1980 Final would be the first of 29 consecutive Stanley Cup Finals that Bob Cole would have a hand in calling for CBC television.

Note:
Game 6 of the Final was the first full network telecast of an NHL game since game 5 of the 1975 Stanley Cup Final (game 2 of the 1979 Challenge Cup was only seen on CBS for the third period, IIRC). There would not be another NHL game on network
television for another 10 years (1990 NHL All-Star Game).
1981
For the first time in the U.S., there was "blanket" coverage of the NHL playoffs. Meaning that, more foten than not that a game was played, it was televised on a national outlet. From this point on, each game will be listed the same as with the Canadian
crews.
As always, any citing of errors or omissions is appreciated.

If you want hosts/rinkside reporters, I have Steve Armitage on CGY/VAN; John Wells on EDM/WPG, EDM/CGY, and EDM/MIN (in Edmonton only); Dave Hodge on BOS/MTL, NYI/NYR, QUE/MTL, EDM/MIN (in Bloomington). Dick Irvin on BOS/MTL, QUE/MTL,MTL/NYI (in Montreal)
, and Brian McFarlane on MTL/NYI (in Long Island). In the Finals, Hodge hosted the entire series, but Wells acted as a rinkside reporter for the games in Edmonton (3, 4, 5).
