I like the old days when 120 of 160 Jays games were split between Snet, TSN and CBC. Of course, that was before CBC made themselves unwatchable with their Canadian programming.

Meanwhile, even if the channel can be purchased individually, if it costs ~$10 a month, it would be more economical for the Flames to PPV their 10 games against Minnesota and Colorado, and save all of us this annoyance.
Shaw charges 2.95 for an extra single channel, if you have digital, I have confirmed. Movie channels etc are more
