Sportscenter

The NHL Playoffs are in full effect but Sportscenter, a show dedicated to sports news doesn't even get to the first NHL highlights until after highlights of the cavs game(they beat the worst team in the NBA), cubs highlights and that Chicago was named for the 2016 US Olympic entry for hostsite etc? I had to wait more than a half hour after Sportscenter began to see highlights froma team that has not won in the playoffs since '94?

I know hockey is not shown on major TV anymore, I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to watch the NY Rangers on NBC while living in Florida, and I know ESPN doesn't carry hockey anymore, but can we please get a little respect? The NBA is in the stretch run... it is almost time for their playoffs, but the Cubs highlights? Just to show Lou Pinnella blowing up at the media again before you show the highlights of the cubs going for their first win? I would expect that those in the world of News could get a beter grasp of what is of importance and how to prioritize the presentation but I guess when you feel you have a monopoly on the sports news market you can get lazy..
