I look forward to a day when something like The Athletic starts broadcasting games. It seems far off now, but TSN and Sportsnet have been producing garbage for years now, and most outside of big markets will throw money at a good alternative.

It's pretty clear that the NHL and the networks can do better, but they do enough to get paid. This was a big concern when Rogers got that NHL contract. With no competition, this company has never shown pride in their product. If someone is paying, that's all you'll get.

I love how much they advertise against illegal video streams.
A) their product it better
B) your customers have been screaming for you to catch up the the illegal video str-r-r-r-r-reams

I will pay $200 every year faithfully if I could watch every Flames game on my TV. Live, in 60fps HD.
