Not sure how they're able to provide a better stream of the Sportsnet feed than Sportsnet themselves, but it's a dramatic difference. So if you're still looking to cut the cord, I'd recommend NHL Gamecenter with a VPN to get around blackouts. Much better experience
How do either of those service's for watching games delayed (either the next day, or starting the game mid-way through it's occurrence)? I am frequently watching the game on a delay and have struggled to find a subscription service that can accommodate this properly - particularly if the delay is only 1 hour or so such that the live event is still streaming.

If I could figure out how to sort this out then I would truly have no need for cable any more, but the ability to PVR flames games and watch delayed is what's kept me with Shaw.
