Direct TV Center Ice Question

I'll be ordering Direct TV, mostly for the football and Center Ice
Packages. I was curious to know which network is used for televising
Habs' games. I know RDS carries the French broadcast in Montreal, but
my understanding is that the main English feed from the CBC is usually
a Toronto game. Does anyone with Center Ice know who does the Habs
(home) games?

On Directs Center ice, if they're playing an American team, the American
teams channel shows the game. On Directs Center ice, if they're playing
another Canadian team, Direct doesn't show it.

I can't remember who covers the weekday games, but on Saturdays it's English
language CBC coverage. At least so far this year it's been from
Newfoundland, judging by the "Vote Danny Williams" ads.

Homes games for the Habs are shown by either CBC, RSN or
any of the visitors' broadcasters feeds.
Im not sure what you're referring to as the main English feed
for CBC but it does regional coverage hence more than just
one feed.

Totally untrue about DirectTV in the U.S. not showing Habs vs. Canadian
teams!

DirecTV in the U.S. carrying the Center Ice package has already shown
Ottawa-MTL and Toronto-MTL. In fact, for the month of October they are
showing ALL the Canadiens' games.

It's a big toss-up as to what gets shown - and I'm not sure if I have
detected rhyme or reason to it - you get anything from TSN to CBC to
regional Fox Sports Nets to MSG to Metro to Turner Sports, etc.
