NHL Tonight (formerly NHL on the Fly) is the flagship show on the NHL Network in Canada and the United States. It carries instant updates and extended highlights of every game in the NHL that night. The show also includes live "look-ins" to games for a few minutes at a time.
When previously entitled NHL on the Fly, after all the scheduled games for an evening concluded, a second version of the show, NHL on the Fly: Final, began airing. Formerly, On the Fly: Final lasted either 30 minutes or 60 minutes, depending upon the number of games played in a particular evening. The current incarnation of the show is an hour long, no matter how many games are played on a particular night.
The show was formerly simulcast occasionally on TSN for the national audience when the channel aired regional Toronto Maple Leafs action in Ontario. TSN no longer airs regional-only games of this nature.
As of the beginning of the 2007–08 NHL season, the NHL Network is now available in the United States.
Famous quotes containing the word tonight:
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
