Which one was Healy? The ignorant, delusional, alcoholic uncle?
This means I won't get to hear Randorf do commentary for anymore Hab games
That's because he only puts out information that he knows is true and has confirmation for, instead of most of the clowns in hockey media who make up bullshit and throw it out there for hits. Friedman is one of the best if not the best in the business.
This deal affects national games, not the regional broadcasts on TSN Canadiens.

I wonder if the deal includes online streaming rights as well?
Yup, he took over the role nicely from Mike "foot in mouth" Milbury.

TSN to get KHL,SM-Liiga,SHL, National League A, DEL and CHL rights.
That'd be pretty dope actually.
You're absolutely crazy.
Aaron Ward was the comedy relief, Bob McKenzie was the straight man, James Duthie was the love interest, and whoever was the 4th was the irritating neighbour.
They had the best panel for sure. They offered the best trade deadline coverage. They offered the best draft day coverage. They had fantastic broadcasters. Their on-screen graphics looked really good and crisp. They had better HD broadcast (better trucks / satellites? whatever it was, they looked better)
TSN was clearly superior.
Oh really? Nice, Randorfs one of my favourite commentators, he does a great job on the regional Habs games.

I am going to miss TSN's trade deadline and free agent coverage. Sportsnet's is practically unwatchable, and TSN were always the ones to break most news.
EDIT: Assuming they aren't able to do them anymore. I have no idea if thats the case.

Remember when they brought in Eklund? Lewl.
There was no hate, no tension, no arguments of any kind. Hell, we'd be lucky to get a spirited exchange from the TSN panel.
I'm surprised they didn't just break out the old guitar and start singing Kumbuya.

TSN will still cover hockey, they just won't be showing games.......
Maybe Dreger will go to Sportsnet so we get Dreger v. Kypreos showdowns lol

I almost forgot about that. What a joke.
You're telling me. Ugly, metallic emboss effects everywhere.
Remember when they had that weird swwwoooossshh sound when they showed other scores? That was horrible
ALSO FUCKING SPORTSNET ADVERTISING ON THE GLASS, ANNOYS THE HECK OUT OF ME AS IT ALWAYS FLASHES IN AND OUT, AND IS DISTRACTING.
UGH, SO MAD ABOUT THIS.
Yeah this was a national TV deal, regional deals in place will still be fine for however long they last, TSN has the Jets broadcasting rights for a decade.
Yup.
I think you'll see a bigger focus on NFL coverage (in terms of shows and programs).
That too, probably.
The NBA falls closest to the NHL's schedule, so I'd imagine the Raptors get primary coverage on TSN, with other games on TSN2, with exception to flipping the Raptors to TSN2 to get big games (Lakers and Heat) on TSN.
NFL on Thursdays and Sundays could bump the Raptors to TSN2 on days they conflict. I don't think TSN needs to really adjust their NFL coverage, except adding Thursday games.

No, the other networks were kind enough to pay all of that money but still let TSN broadcast the most important games of the entire season.

You realize regular season and playoff broadcasting rights are almost always treated separate and TSN may have decided to invest all of the broadcasting right bid money into the playoff schedule only.
SO SCREW OFF WITH YOUR SARCASTIC BS

Yes. But I doubt CBC would skimp on playoffs if the deal is as lucrative as it sounds.
You're forgetting that the CBC is technically dirt poor (and public, not private). I don't even know where they're getting the money from for this deal (I'm gonna guess...... us.)

EVERYONE DO THE ROBOT
She's mostly just in Winnipeg.
The Sportsnet Leafs games are the ones I usually skip during the season since I don't like to watch or listen to Kypreos. I guess I will be forced to start watching Sportsnet more. The random girls I see doing sports highlights on the rare occasion I do watch - they aren't bad.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!
This picture will never fail to make me laugh :lol
No hockey on TSN..... oh well. Canucks games on Sportsnet and whatever HNIC has got on is what I actually make time to sit down for. And presumably Sportsnet is going to try and revamp their hockey programming.
This is really a huge blow to TSN. I wonder how they're going to refocus their resources. Do they still want to have numerous shows dedicated to the NHL, promoting a league that they can't even carry? Will they put NHL highlights on the back burner behind CFL and NBA? Could they maybe try and snatch up the Blue Jays from Sportsnet? Does anyone in Canada really give a shit about anything but hockey?
