Ah, apologies guys, didn't know that.

leah and chelios, i want to see that now.

When Sportsnet is dumping personalities, the good will go with the bad. The only shock is that Rogers had good personalities to dump.

I like in that video how Doug McLean plays the chicken #### and won't comment but Leah is "hell yea I'll go there cause they suck"

How about just have Hrudey and Ball calling the game and that's it. Ax the whole desk. In fact, ax the entire production studio. I don't need any graphics besides the score. Just run commercials during the intermissions. If our play-by-play and colour guys weren't so good, I'd also suggest axing them, turning up the game and crowd noise and just run the feed. With all the money saved upgrade the cameras and microphones and give me the ability to run instant replay on my phone on any play I want.

Keith Olbermann just ripping Scott Moore:

Dear, @MooreScottmoore You are the stupidest executive I've yet encountered in television

.@MooreScottmoore You had the finest studio sports show on the continent, and you traded it for a format that was passé in 2004 #ByeFelicia

I don't really get his hashtag there or what exactly was passé in 2004, but he mad.

[Geeoff]

So it's not so much that she is getting laid off from Sportsnet but that she is moving to ESPN. Good for Leah!

[Manhattanboy]

I have about had it with the CRTC and their bull%^&^* rules. Shocking that we see Game of Thrones and Ray Donavan.

We get the Big Ten Network but NO ESPN or Fox Sports 1.

I want these already. Without breaking forum rules can someone please tell me how I can receive these signals ?

We do? I had to get a VPN, fake an American address and buy a pre-paid visa to pose as an American and watch Game of Thrones through their streaming service, HBONow. If there's a more convenient way let me know

Game of Thrones is on HBO Canada. Last week's episode was epic.

I didn't get it either until a staff member explained it to me.

Theres a very convenient way to watch HBO in Canada. Subscribe. I see GoT every Sunday, same airtime as the States, unedited.

[Manhattanboy]

Of ALL the US sports channels we get The Big Ten Network. So we can see replays of some Michigan State game from twenty years ago. If I was PM first legislation I enact: The CRTC Repeal Act, 2016.

So much this. I can put up with zero intermission content (and we did for many games this year ) but if those cheap ####s bring us back to the Kerr/Simmer days, I will likely have to move on with my life.

[Willi Plett]

Not happy. Leah was the only one I liked to hear period. Great knowledge and perspective. The rest was already garbage. Skip and mute more I guess. Sportsnet sucks.

I have a actual US address but this sounds expensive.

I guess on the flipside, Leah can now spread her love of the Flames to US fans. But it will be a drag not seeing her on the SN broadcasts!

probably a saw off with paying for cable and that BS hbo/movie central package they force you to take. either way I cancel the sub as soon as the season ends
