And as for blowing TSN off, they owe them nothing. A better deal came along, so what?

Couldn't agree with you more. I think RSN has been gaining ground in Alberta - as someone said before, prior to them stepping up, we had nothing to cover the Flames unless the Leafs or Habs were playing them.
TSN always seems to run down the Flames and treat the coilers like they're the model franchise everyone should look up to. The smug attitude and smirks from panels/announcers, etc. when talking about the Flames drives me friggin nuts. While I agree that TSN's production is better and it's obvious they've thrown more money at it, there's nothing saying this can't be the impetus for SN to improve. Details are still coming, we don't even know how this shakes out next season, but you read these boards and you'd think the deal meant we were getting our broadcasts yanked or something.The way a lot of people talk on here, they sound like TSN employees.....
We get more hockey = good news to me.
