Lol Bart didn't make this team, he was dreadful in Pre-season. He was given a spot because GG loves his pets. End of story.

I was checking the SN webpage, apparently they have 3 channels showing one freaking game, Habs vs Hawks. SNW, SN1 and SNE all are showing this ONE game

And apparently, they'll show the Flames game after the Habs on SNW

Plan to cheer from behind the net tonight.

We need these easy points, boys. I know, I know, no easy points in NHL anymore. But still, some uneasy points are less uneasy than others. This should be two of those.
Go get'em Flames!

The Habs-Blackhawks game is being shown on the Pacific and Ontario channels too. The Sunday Hometown hockey is usually shown natioanlly on all four Sportsnet regional channels unless there is baseball playoffs or other major events. In that case, Sportsnet One carries the hockey game. Sometimes SN1 or SN360 will also show the game in addition to the regular channels because of a sport on the regular channels that may run over its alloted time or there is nothing else on.

There are eleven Flames game on SN360 this season. It does allow those games to be nationally televised across Canada especially on the four Sundays and four Wednesdays where there is a national game on Sportsnet and the Flames game starts before the other game will end. This avoids missing out on the start of the Flames game and joining it in progress unlike what happened in the past prior to Rogers obtaining the national contract.

The cable and satellite companies all have many different tiers and packages to get SN360 such as in a sports bundle. In some cases, SN360 can be purchased as a single channel. I get it that way with Shaw Cable.

Huh? Devils are 2nd in their division, tied for 5th in league. They're a good team right now, even on a B2B.

Maybe referring to the backup. Doesn't matter though, he has good numbers and I wouldn't consider this game easy points.

How much are you paying for that one channel? I know Shaw has a sport 2 package that include SN360 that has a lot of other sports channel I don't watch and it is $10 a month.

Maybe I am in the minority but Bartkowski isn’t all that bad as a few of you make him out to be. Yes, he’s not better than Andersson or Kulak, and I know GG gives him more minutes than he should. But he’s not awful.

Oh? Okay

It's sometimes hard to keep track of game days in such a different time zone.

I have been getting it for $7.95 per month and it comes with 3 other channels that I selected. I know that a single channel in the pick and pay is or was $2.95 per month.

I just re-jigged my Shaw cable package as I didn't have SN360 (but I did have all of the other Sportsnet channels). Now I no longer have TSN, which may not be a problem because I can't recall the last time I watched TSN. We shall see. I hate cable.

It is a plus though for fans outside the Sportsnet West coverage.

That's why I don't want to re-jigged my Shaw cable, instead, took hwy19man advice and order the 360 channel for $3.00. I do watch TSN for CFL and sometimes Tennis Opens.

Come on, this is like saying that Vegas is a good team, because they're playing well now. Yeah, NJD is playing OK now, but they are not even close to being a serious contender this season. I did say there are no easy points in NHL these days.

The Devils are actually a good team though.

Have you watched them this year? They are a fast and dangerous club with elite goaltending. They could absolutely make some noise

They have also, in the past, struggled hard with consistency. This extends, in particular, to Schneider himself.

This is what makes them so liable to fall out of contention for even a playoff spot in recent years. The hot start is promising, but that's why there's many games to be played yet.
