The end result is a lot more Flames hockey for fans outside Alberta/Saskatchewan/NWT but within Canada.
Thanks for bringing that up, I've been glossing over it in my replies. You're right, this makes a pretty big difference. A glance at this season's remaining schedule shows this would impact 10 regional games if this deal were in place for this season. Probably some that have already been played would have been national as well.
