It's because NBC, TSN, CBC and the likes have the playoff contracts whereas ESPN bought the rights to regular season games (with the others still having the ability to air, TSN and CBC are HUGE as they are canadian channels that don't require satellite or digital cable to get) and never had the chance to get the playoff ones (NBC, TSN, CBC and the likes wouldn't allow it).
I don't know when the current contracts are up, but something tells me 2008-2012 should be the time most are up.
