Anyone know if Rogers will let you get Center Ice and the online account for 50$? without paying monthly for their Sports Pak?

Furthermore we won't get the majority of the playoffs on GCL and none of the Stanley Cup finals because there is a channel with the exclusive rights to these.

Great way to welcome back your fans NHL!!

BO in Czech republic too. I was told on GCL chat every Nova sport game will be BO. WTF??? Was told during this week via emails from GCL no BO for Europe. Soooo mad right now.......

[da_nige]

Me too. I wouldn't mind the black out if they'd told us but instead they don't tell us anything.

Its ridiculous

Ain't working for me right now on either my ethernet wired desktop or my wireless laptop. Got a "game will begin soon" message at 1, nothing since.

[calgaryboy]

Glad Calgary is not mainstream here, in Czech republic, but i think there will be more games thanks to Hudler, Cervas and Horak.

[AR_Six]

This is bull####. Can't even call customer support.

[Thor]

Lot of international viewers cannot get LA vs Chicago, comes up with blackout restrictions. In a chat on NHL.com with a bunch of very angry people, one been on hold with the NHL for 30 mins already.

[AR_Six]

How did he even get on hold? The live chat is not operating, and when I try to call the phone support I get dead air.

This is just horrendous. I sent them a pretty nastily worded email but that doesn't really do much to help me.

[Thor]

Not sure, he said that for the blackout problem, "they are aware and are working on the issue" No ETA, nothing else. lol what a disaster.

Now I can't even load gamecenter, was watching Pittsburg and tried to load Winnipeg to go check out the goal, and now nothing loads for me.

[renny]

i should have left it while it was working... but no.... i had to check the pitt game during commercial... now i can't even watch the kings game...

[SoulOfTheFlame]

Game center app not working at all for Ipad.. Glad I have TV right now.. But makes me worried. Hope they sort this out by tomorrow night for the Flames game!

[HotHotHeat]

Game centre definitely down is iOS, but working on my Apple TV. Really impressed with the quality.

[ComixZone]

yeah game center I think is just down all together I think
...as I say this, my feed just came back.

[TSXCman]

damn, i called rogers to try to get gamecenter without the sports pak, the guy couldnt do it.

[renny]

a good idea would be for the nhl to put a message up so people don't keep hammering the servers.... but that might be too much to ask...

[sclitheroe]

I can tell GCL has a lot of new users this year from the posts in this thread - anyone else who's used it before knows it'll take a week or so before its usable, and that there is no real-time communication about status or anything else when it's down - don't bother trying to find information, contact anyone, etc.

Seriously, don't stress. At some point in the next 7-14 days it will become usable again. It always does.

[GrrlGoalie33]

i tried to switch to the Winnipeg game at the Flyers intermission and now cant get anything So far not worth my $50, hopefully things calm down for the rest of the games.

[Josh]

Glad I'm not the only one that's having issues, I'm guessing they weren't expecting nearly this much traffic. This is my 3rd year of using the service and they seem to improve it every year.

If this is the case I'm going to just get a refund and do centre ice instead. Never had a problem with that, other than blackouts.
