Well - the Raptors may have all 82 of their games this season being shown across all of Canada in HD on TSN, The Score, Raptors TV, CBC and Rogers Sportsnet - but it still looks like the Raptors will be a bit of a mystery to all of you down in the U.S. with only 2 Raptor games scheduled nationally in the States - both on ESPN. A January 4th date with the Pistons and February 11th date with the Spurs - both from the ACC.

So I guess your Canadian content is going to continue to come from Steve Nash. ;-)

Actually more accurately the Canadian content will actually be from those calling the games for ESPN and ABC. Canadian Dan Shulman will now be joining fellow Canucks John Saunders and Mark Jones as he just signed a 5 year deal to call NBA games for ESPN and ABC. Shulman is one of the smoothest play by play guys going. He used to do the Jays games up here and I think when teamed with Buck Martinez they were one of the best pairs to listen to when calling a baseball game. They certainly were the best combination we have ever had calling Jays games up here. I've only heard Shulman a few times calling some US College basketball games on ESPN but again I thought he was great calling those games too. Glad to see ESPN and ABC are rewarding his good work.

If I recall, Shulman did a number of ESPN baseball telecasts this year.
