Yes. CBC shows at least one game every night of the playoffs, and they share the games with TSN as well through the first 3 rounds. CBC is the only network showing the Stanley Cup final

Yes it will change, CBC has the rights to broadcast playoff games during the week, although TSN has also acquired the rights to do this as well, though they will not show the same games. CBC usually covers only Canadian teams, but as the playoffs go if they are none left they still show American teams. They are the only television network in Canada that is allowed to broadcast the Stanley Cup Finals, although their contract is almost up.

You will see a minimum of one game a day and 2 or 3 on Saturdays and Sundays. If there is a day without a playoff game on the CBC, there was no games that day. First priority is games with Canadian teams, but if there are none they still show the other games. And TSN shows games 7 days a week too for round one and two. But they can't get rights to broadcast any games with Canadian teams.

CBC always shows games during the week during playoff time. In fact, they have exclusive rights to the Stanley Cup final in Canada, which has games during the week, so they do broadcast games during the middle of the week. Rarely during the regular season do they broadcast games during the week, it has to be some sort of special occasion really for them to do that, but they do it during the whole playoffs. CBC shows us the whole playoffs, so there is nothing for you to worry about. CBC's main focus is on covering all of the Canadian teams, but they will show American teams games if all the Canadian teams are done. Don't worry, my friend, CBC will show you the entire playoffs from start to finish, including mid-week games.

During the playoffs, CBC has a lot of games, but during the regular season, they only have games on the weekend, unless it is a really special game, for example, Steve Yzerman's retirement ceremony.

Yes...I do know that they show the entire conference finals as well as the Stanley Cup finals, but they do show mostly Canadian teams during the first two rounds. All I can say is thank god I live close enough to the border to pick up CBC cause most of the American hockey coverage (NBC/Verses mainly) is subpar compared to CBC.
(P.S. Don Cherry rules!)

Yeah. During the playoffs, CBC catches everything.

Yes I've been watching the playoffs on CBC on weekdays and weekends my whole life. They show Canadian and American games.

Yes It will. There may be games every night in the first round.
