Stanley Cup playoffs
During the playoffs, TSN has third, fifth, seventh, and eighth choices of first-round series, second and fourth in the second round, and second in the conference finals. This means that there is the possibility of TSN covering a Canadian team during the playoffs. This happened during the 2009 Stanley Cup playoffs, as TSN televised the Calgary Flames' first-round series against the Chicago Blackhawks, but Calgary lost in six games and in the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs when the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Washington Capitals in seven games, and the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs when the Vancouver Canucks lost in four straight games to the San Jose Sharks.
