Rogers isn't the best in terms of production (though they're certainly better than a lot of U.S. broadcasters like Bally's and MSG). But you can't deny that the deal has been especially good for Flames fans. Something like 40 Flames games per year are shown nationally under the deal and it's all on one platform. We forget that when TSN did the national games, there was usually closer to 15-20 Flames games shown across the country if that. Those outside the Flames market appreciate this a lot more.

If the NHL comes back with some sort of TSN/Amazon/Sportsnet hybrid (or even more, who knows) fans will have to subscribe to a handful of services to get the same number of games, if it's even possible to do.
