Denis Leary was the third-man in the broadcast booth and called the final 40 minutes of the 2001 All-Star Game at Pepsi Center in Denver.[ 41] [ 42] [ 43] [ 44] [ 45] Because ABC Sports had rights to both the NHL All-Star Game and the Pro Bowl , ABC aired the All-Star Game and the Pro Bowl on the same day from 2000 through 2003 , excluding 2002 . ABC dubbed these doubleheaders as “All-Star Sunday”.
The All-Star Game was dealt two serious blows in 2005. Not only was the game canceled along with the rest of the season as a result of the 2004–05 NHL lockout ,[ 47] [ 48] [ 49] 2005–06 season and 2009–10 NHL season either.[ 50] [ 51] NBC 's coverage of the 1990 All-Star Game marked the first time in a decade that an American over-the-air television network (as opposed to cable ) carried an NHL game nationally (since Game 6 of the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals aired on CBS ). This is because the game itself was played on a Sunday afternoon instead of a Tuesday night, as was the case in previous years – marking the first time that a national audience would see Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux play.[ 71] [ 68] [ 70] [ 72] [ 73] Hockey Night in Canada NBC's affiliates in Atlanta , Charlotte , Memphis , New Orleans , Indianapolis and Phoenix didn't air the game.)In 1991 , NBC broke away from the live telecast of the All-Star Game during the third period in favor of Gulf War coverage; SportsChannel America showed the rest of the contest later that day.
The 1995 All-Star Game was not played due to the 1994–95 NHL lockout .
The 1996 and 1997 All-Star Games were televised in prime time .
The 1980 American coverage from Hughes used CBC 's feed.
Locally in New York, the NHL All-Star Game was broadcast on WOR-TV Channel 9 until 1982 . Beginning in 1983 , it was broadcast on the NHL's cable TV partner. The Challenge Cup replaced the All-Star Game in 1979. Staged at Madison Square Garden , the Challenge Cup was a best-of 3-series between the NHL All-Stars against the Soviet Union national squad . Games 1 and 3 were shown on the NHL Network , while Game 2 was carried, in bizarre fashion, on CBS .[ 114] CBS Sports Spectacular Madison Square Garden . The network (after complaints from other CBS sponsors) refused to allow the ads to be shown; as a result, viewers were unable to view the far boards above the yellow kickplate, and could only see players' skates when the play moved to that side of the ice. (Games 1 and 3 were seen in their entirety on the NHL Network, which had no problem with the advertising.)
