It sucks twice as hard for American fans who want to watch the game. At least TSN2 is standard on most Canadian cable systems, isn't it? In the US, it doesn't matter if you have GameCenter or Center Ice - since the game is technically being carried by the NHL Network (which is neither part of those packages, nor a standard part of most US cable lineups) you literally have to buy another sports package if you want to see this one or the handful of other games picked up by the NHL Network each week. It's an infuriatingly unnecessary money-making tactic, and it did not used to be like this a couple of seasons ago... Only recently did the league start treating NHL Network games like "national broadcasts" and blacking them out on Center Ice.
It is a scam. The NHL should be shamed over this.
