I think that we can thank the split arrangement between TSN and Sportsnet for that. Although if Sportsnet had sole rights, they'd still use it to push SN World.
TSN has a good history of streaming any overflow matches that they can't fit on their 5 channels on TSN Go. It still requires a cable subscription, but no pricey add-on like Sportsnet.
The casual fan won't mind their choice of 7 or 8 "regular" matches on a weekend. But many of us support one team avidly (NORWICH!), so I'll watch their game every week regardless of everything else.
But I agree - an online service that would give me every single game for a fair price would be a dream. Unfortunately it would undercut traditional cable, and we know that Rogers and Bell would never allow that!
Edit: And I'm a dummy and missed the "Sky" part. But please allow me to grumble about our arrangement here in Canada.
