I paid $240+ for CI this season (ha ha, jokes on me). I still didn't get approx ten games because they were on city or Sportsnet one or some other pos station I don't subscribe to.
$240 isn't enough to pay for a season of last place hockey on the TV apparently. They would have me pay more.
Instead I will pay less. I'm thinking zero dollars. I will watch when they are on HNIC or SNETP. The Rogers deal is bad for consumers. They are making it more difficult to access the product. I have no idea how that is supposed to be good for business.
The previous TSN/CBC deal handled local blackouts the same way as Rogers with the exception of RDS Habs.
Regional games broadcast on SNETW are not available outside of AB-SK-NWT. It gets a big confusing bc there are also national games on SNETW.
Really best workaround is get yourself NHL.TV (formerly NHL GCL) and get a Roku or Appletv and something like unblockus. You do get to choose your broadcast team. PM and I can help explain.
Back on topic - I don't mind Drew. He is willing to rip the Oilers from time to time when it is deserved. Louie was unwilling to do this previously. Although, he is more critical during the intermission panel segments now. PS. I hate Gene schtick.
