Thanks for clarifying. I've noticed those TNT Wed night games seem to feature more Canadian teams than I'd have expected from the NBC Sports/VS national broadcasts in the past.
All that said, most folks I know down here either follow their team on the local market channel or through ESPN+ if out of market. I find ways to get the TNT games without my own cable subscription, but I know fewer and fewer folks with cable these days. (luckily at least one)
TNT and NHL Network are both pretty tough to get online access to outside of a cable package.
