In , CBS offered to broadcast a NHL "Game of the Week" on Saturdays during the National Football League season. By the winter, CBS would move the "Game of the Week" to Sundays in the same time slot. Ultimately, the NHL rejected the idea, saying it would cause too many scheduling and travel problems. The league was especially worried about a game from Montreal or Toronto being played on a Saturday afternoon (and not on Saturday night to accommodate CBC Television), and teams having to play an early afternoon game on Sunday after playing a game the previous night.
