Gerry Dobson said on twitter that there would be no stream. I'm not sure why they wouldn't. Sportsnet subscribers are not going to cancel their cable service because of one game being available legally online. And because a tremendous amount of viewers will be at work during the game, they wouldn't be watching from home anyway and wouldn't be boosting ad numbers anyway.

If ever there was a game to stream that would have zero negative impact on anything, it is this one. People will either not watch it at all or will find it online somewhere else, so Sportsnet gets fewer viewers (TV and web combined).
