Instead, they’re going down the same path and alienating their fans.
Genius stuff.

I posted this before, but will say again, I was paying for NHLCI for a few years, trying to do the right thing and pay for a legit service. For me it all went out the window when I went on a trip to the UK and was in my hotel room awake with jetlag and I decided I would put on the Jets/Preds playoff series to pass the time. Logged into my CI account, only to learn that due to some agreement the NHL had with some UK sports channel, even though I was across the ocean with a paid subscription, I was still blacked out. Cancelled my subscription the moment the playoffs were over and never returned.
CI, Sportnets, Rogers, whomever; don't care the reason or whatever legal mumbo jumbo get's dumped on me. I pay for a service and I want to watch ALL games when I want. Not sit in a hotel room across the ocean and still be restricted.
I hope so much this blows up in Rogers' face and the team that decided this price increase was a good idea gets laid off with minimal severance. Horrible decision.
