NBC’s & Versus’ Studio Plans For Stanley Cup Final

With NBC Sports taking the Stanley Cup Final through its conclusion, NBC and Versus have set their lineups for the studio portions of the Final. Dan Patrick will be the host for NBC for the intermissions and be joined by Keith Jones and Mike Milbury. Versus will have a Hockey Central pregame show aired prior to Games 5, 6 and 7 if necessary hosted by Bill Patrick with Keith Jones and Mike Milbury.

And for the postgame, Hockey Central will air immediately following the games with Patrick, Jones and Jeremy Roenick. Unfortunately, hockey charlatan Pierre McGuire will be a contributor to both the pre and postgames. Darren Pang will also be a part of Versus’ coverage.

Here’s a quick blurb from NBC/Versus.

VERSUS is adding pre-game Hockey Central shows to all the remaining Stanley Cup Final broadcasts on NBC, starting on Friday before Game 5.

VERSUS will have pre-games at 7:30 p.m. ET before Game 5, 6 and, if necessary 7, which are scheduled for 8 p.m.  The pre-game show will be hosted by Bill Patrick with Keith Jones and Mike Milbury.

VERSUS will continue doing post-game Hockey Central shows after all remaining games, just as the network has done following the first four games of the series.  The post-game shows will be hosted by Bill Patrick with Keith Jones and Jeremy Roenick.

Pierre McGuire and Darren Pang will contribute to both the pre-game and post-game shows.

Dan Patrick joins NBC’s coverage of Games 5-7 of the Stanley Cup Final as host of their studio, intermissions, etc.  He will be joined by Keith Jones and Mike Milbury for all remaining broadcasts on NBC.

There you have it.
