Yeah..its a bit of a run on sentence..my apologies. What I'm driving at is that this deal not only gives rogers exclusive rights to Canadian content on TV, but more importantly total control of game centre. I believe that Rogers will probably remove the games, not simply black them out, but actually remove the Canadian games from NHL game centre. My belief is that, eventually, they will only make the games available through a sports net subscription and with an added fee to remove the blackouts. They've already alluded to this today.

You're right, but it will broadcast the important ones. The "out of market" games will be available on sportsnet without blackouts, for an additional fee of course, outside of game centre.
