Awesome. The end of a decisive ATOC stage will not be televised in favor of the beginning of a Hockey game. Thank goodness, listening to mulleted announcers during a pre-game show is much more important than the end of a cycling event.

I just got done watching this on DVR. Agree! You couldn't wait the 5 minutes that were left? They wait to start playoff games all the time, for other games before them.
Just pissed. Between this and the "its too wet for any cameras" thing...whatever.

It wasn't too wet, the ceiling was insanely low and the traffic in that area, airline wise, is really busy. Not worth potentially causing a mid air crash for a bike race.
Sent off a perturbed email to Vs last night. Got this in reply.
VERSUS, now in its fourth year of Amgen Tour of California coverage, always strives to offer the most in-depth and complete coverage for the premier U.S.-based cycling event. With any live sports telecast there is the possibility of an event running over its allotted on-air time, which was the case yesterday during Stage 3 of the race. Due to contractual agreements with the NHL, we were obligated to begin coverage of the Philadelphia Flyers/Montreal Canadiens Eastern Conference Final telecast.
In case of these circumstances, VERSUS followed the in-place contingency plan to show the conclusion of the stage online. For viewers who were not able to watch online, VERSUS aired a one-hour recap of Stage 3, including the race's finish, following the conclusion of the Chicago Blackhawks/San Jose Sharks Western Conference Final telecast. VERSUS will re-air the one-hour Stage 3 recap show today at 4 p.m. ET.
