I really hope CBC keeps the rights. Cant stand how TSN cuts away from post game coverage within seconds of the final buzzer so they can get to their sportscentre broadcast, etc.
CBC camera angles and broadcast quality make me feel more like it is when I am actually at the game. TSN hast been able to replicate any of that and feels artificial and forced.
Cant recall who mentioned it (I scanned the first couple pages) but with most cable/satellite providers you can switch to a different region broadcast quite easily if you dont want to watch the Toronto game. Also CBC is still available over the air. I have fond memories of watching the Flames vs Detroit in 04 while camping. Certainly cant do that easily if it moves to TSN.
Really hoping CBC comes through here.
