I think Cleveland's NHL team at the time was called the Barons, the same name as a minor-league team that had been in that city from the 1930's until the early 1970's (and in fact, in the 1990's, there again was a Cleveland Barons minor-league hockey team; perhaps our own Tim Lones can give us the timeline).

The NHL Barons bellied-up in 1978; many of their player contracts IIRC were taken over by the old Minnesota North Stars, but those players didn't turn the North Stars into a ;legitimate Stanley Cup contender.
 
In the "Sports and Specials" feature at the front of the program
section, it does in fact say "Flames vs. Barons," yet the listing within
the body of the program section says "Cavaliers" for the Cleveland team.
I thought the Cavaliers played in the NBA, not the NHL.

And somebody asked about the Hughes Sports Network telecasts of
hockey games. I have to assume both Chs. 17 and 36 carried these games,
since on Monday, January 30, there was a game between the New York Islanders
and Buffalo Sabres that aired on Ch. 17, although on tape at 11:30 PM.
