So yeah - I saw Game Centre, lifting of regional blackouts, and got all excited. It probably won't happen, but that's how I arrived at it.

What inital post? The one you replied to was about Rogers creating a pay product lifting the blackout of its regional broadcasts? That means you could watch out of region Sens games, Canucks games, etc. using it instead of Game Center. It would be limited to Rogers regional broadcasts, not all out of market games.
But yes, of course in-region games would be available the same way they are now. Just as you can't watch them in Game Center, you couldn't watch them with this Rogers product. The national and regional TV deals trump Center Ice and Game Center. And always will.
I'm having a really hard time following your replies in this thread or how you're getting to some of the conclusions you're making.
