NBC: The Network That Cuts Away To Heidi and Horses

Despite having Malkin, Ovechkin and Crosby, the three biggest names in hockey matching up in a scintillating 2nd round matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals, NBC will cut away from Saturday's game to show horse racing if the game carries on too long.

NBC infamously did this two years ago when the Ottawa Senators-Buffalo Sabres locked up in the Eastern Conference Finals.

What ever happened to the rule in television of staying with the programming you started until it concludes?
