Out of Town Fan

With the new TV deal in place, I am wondering if it's worth buying Centre Ice again this year. I'm in Calgary, so I'm trying to decide if it's worth buying again. If I can get 70-80% of the games for free, I will stream the rest. I didn't get my money's worth last year because I was too busy, so I'm trying to see if I can justify it again.

What do you guys think?

I would pass myself. It's a little fuzzy right now... but with sportsnet blackouts lifted nationally on Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday for those with the package, plus the Thursday night game plus up to potentially 6-7-8 games available on Saturdays nationally... your hockey fix should be ok..

But hey.. if you are hardcore and love being able surf every game anytime... get it.

Edit: From the schedule below... Canucks get 25 national games you'll be able to catch.
So 30% of the games for free... well less than the 70-80% you were hoping for...
-(but that doesn't include what online options you may have thru sportsnet.ca)

Here are the game that Rogers will make available to us this season... Nationally.

So if you require additional games... get Center Ice.

But I think I'll be more than happy with what they'll be providing on top of my Canuck games.

Take a look:

Edit: I don't see their Thursday night US vs US game schedule there... but if you remember, Thursdays on Sportsnet 360 is a USvsUS game every week as well. (or am I misremembering)
