Not only is it a pain to carry multiple SN channels to (maybe) watch the Flames game... but it'd be damn nice if any place around here carried a game for once.
As it is now, watching a game is annoying the bartender, then annoying the bartender again and again as they change the channel throughout the game. Oilers are on all the time seemingly, and as such everyone around here seems to know a fair bit about the Oilers. The Flames? "oh, I didn't know they were having a good year!"
There will be Flames fans here if they could watch the damn games. Hell, maybe SN would see an uptick in this timeslot if they ever showed good hockey on it. People have to dig to be a Flames fan out here. And you damn well do it in the privacy of your own home. Shame for a team having the year they're having. But that's what you get when your sports coverage has such a strong bias towards such a small part of the league.

Ha ha ha. Is there anything less Canadian than Ontario?
