The real test will be during the playoffs, I bet you see TSN's numbers take a huge hit come April and May

Agree totally with the bolded above. Also, this is year one of a twelve year deal. Sportsnet will continue to bleed viewers away from TSN as the deal rolls on. People still think of TSN as a good source for NHL related content, but will they still feel that way by year five or year ten?
