Good news and very surprised they didn't pull Hrudey to national or at least a bigger market as the local guy. Thought it would happen for sure.

So glad I have game Center now. BC sucks for viewing the Flames. Granted not as bad as some other places, I know. Time to stop my whining...lol

Sounds like it. I think he eventually revealed that it was a liver issue.

Do the geo restrictions apply for GCL?

Edit.. let me answer my own stupid question:

** All national & out-of-market games will also be available for live streaming on Rogers NHL GameCentre LIVE
