Yeah, so if you wanted to see the game, you had to go to it.
I remember when a Flames game was on TV, not PPV, it was like and EVENT! You got all your buddies together, you made plans to hit the Pub, you had to get there early to get a good seat, etc.
And that was when the team
sucked out loud.
But it was just so rare. I want to say that there was something like 14 games a year that were on TV for free or something in that range (I'm guessing).
Its so different now. I can watch the game live, I can watch it after my wife goes to bed, I can stream it on my 4th monitor in the background at work tomorrow...whatever. And I can do this for pretty well all 82 games.
