6 ‘Offs Games (None TV’d over the air), all 6 now (2-2)

Yesterday as the NBA “quarters” and NHL prelims progressed at the same point, namely game 4, all six lower seeded teams, by definition playing at home, won at least easily, to square their series at 2 games apiece.

Tonight 6 more tilts and only Colorado (Avalanche) up (3-0) vs Nashville (Predators) are assured of being up at least 3 games to 1 after tonight’s action.

The Bruins, Blues, Lightning (17 straight times they have won a playoff game after a loss–15 such in route to consecutive titles in limited or no fans 2020 and 2021 seasons and all 17 with the superb netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy in goal) and Kings all squared their NHL prelims with wins vs the Blues, Wild, Leafs and Oilers in that chronological order.

Those games and the 2 NBA tilts were NOT offered on over the air television.

Both Dallas (Mavericks) and Philadelphia (76ers) won at home vs top ranked Phoenix and Miami (I cited each of those conference top seeds had “held serve” to go up (2-0) to even their quarterfinal series.

For the record also yesterday, both the Mets and Yankees, each off to excellent starts (cited here last week) split doubleheaders and none of those 4 tilts were telecast over the air.

Only an 11:30 Eastern Time White Sox win at the Boston Red Sox was shown over the air in New York.
