It was overtime during game four of the Stanley Cup finals between the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins when NBC affiliate KXAN either made a mistake or ran a test to see how many hockey fans there are in and around Austin, Texas. Answer: Quite a few, actually:
This is how I saw the end of game 4 between the Bruins and the Blackhawks. Are you kidding me, @KXAN_News ??https://t.co/8Iy1wravdo

@KXAN_News Can't believe that just happened – cut away for commercials during live OT and miss GW goal?

Here's video of KXAN in Austin missing the Blackhawks OT winner with a local news promo. http://t.co/DiSi7IbAHL #doh

“@KXAN_News ran a promo over the Stanley Cup Game 4 ending." What can we do to make sure this doesn't happen again?

I think I speak for all Austinites in expressing my appreciation that Game 7 or the NBA finals will not be televised on KXAN this evening.
