Klesla put on waivers.
Fuck, would have loved him in Washington but somebody is going to claim him before us.

Wow that Rogers deal is even worse than I imagined. Seems like they're basically going to kill off HNIC slowly.
Apparently yes. Regional blackouts are no long in effect for Canada.
What will happen is cable subscribers will need to pay for the other Sportsnet channels. Right now I get Sportsnet West and SN1. If I don't cough up more to get SN Pacific, Ontario, East, and 360, I will be getting less hockey.
The master plan is to get Canadians to pay for more channels.
I believe the old adage "you get what you pay for" fits appropiately here.
Neuter is more like it. People would hate on Rogers pretty hard if they kill off HNIC.
Then again, people will still watch NHL games regardless of where it's on.
This new deal is worth 2.5 times the current deal......it's pretty big, and why Bell didn't want to pony up that much more then what they're already paying. Broadcasting doesn't mean anything to Americans, but that's a lot of cash going back to every team.
Right now they're patting themselves on the back for saving HNIC, even though the long term strategy is to kill them. It's more like a hostile takeover.

Welp, went ahead and picked up a 75 Flex Hall Easton SR II. I used to love my old original stealth in a Sakic blade so we'll see how this one does, also I hope I doesn't get caught in the zamboni doors and snap a month and a half after I get it like my Nexus.
Based on the article I posted that's what I think it seems they are planning to do.
HNIC will cease to exist on CBC but will live on the other Rogers channels.
Great, Kypreos takes over for Don Cherry.

Living in Vancouver wasn't expensive enough.
15% increase in Hydro costs in 2 years.
This is huge, people are going to lose their homes over the increase.

So wait, RDS won't be able to broadcast the games anymore? Are you fucking kidding me? What happens to Pierre Houde?

RDS can still negotiate/sign a deal with the Habs for the remaining 60 games (TVA has 22 Saturday games + playoffs).

What a bunch of idiots. Short-term thinking as always, they'll just lose more broadcasts to piracy.

im beginning to think you work for HS
Remember what I told you... registration is not open right now for that. It's on an invite setup, basically it's neogaf.
Did they change it then? I guess they might've put that in place because their servers were struggling with an influx of people...

That would be cool, but that means RDS goes bankrupt. It's already only supported by hockey.
Not sure why Molson would care about RDS, unless the network agrees to spend a shitload of money. Habs TV might not happen next year, but in the future (in 3-5 years).

i don't get it, what will happen to TSN/RDS? play NHL games involving American teams?
This is true, RDS is almost only about the HABS and is like the Habs channel. Without the Habs, RDS is just mini-put, bowling, poker and billiards
Del Zotto for Havlat.
They can negotiate a deal with Rogers, not the Habs. Sportsnet now owns ALL the broadcast rights for ALL the Canadian teams. They'll decide how to distribute that. Previous deals with the Leafs, Jets, and Habs are apparently being honored, but there's no guarantee what will happen over the next 12 years of Roger's dominance.
It's like the deal with the CBC. Rogers will now get all revenue from that broadcast, although the CBC will not be paying broadcast rights to Rogers for that honor. If and how long that lasts is entirely up to Rogers. Sounds like they intend to eventually phase out the CBC but keep the HNIC brand. Other stations/broadcasters will have to work out their own deals if they can. I'm sure they'll figure something out to provide french broadcasts.
Rogers now owns hockey broadcasts in Canada, including games between american teams. How they decide to sub-let those rights will need to benefit them.

Kinda weird for the Bell Center though, I wonder if Bell will want to get rid of it. Doubt it, they probably didn't expect things to go the way they did, but Bell and Quebecor are basically enemy.
What you mean get rid of the bell centre? They just have the naming rights, they don't own the place. Molson & others do.

I know, that's what I meant. It's huge publicity for them, but would be weird if the broadcasts are done by TVA.
