Looks like no more games on CBC, which kind of ends the HNIC tradition. Gotta pay up for those SN channels for everything now.
Sportsnet PR @SportsnetPR
A joint statement from Sportsnet and CBC:
"We need to get better immediately. That starts today"
- Lowe, 2013
"Next year I would forecast as another developmental year"
- MacT, 2015
5 x $5,000,000

Yeah that's a sad end.. Shannon on Stauff was saying when he worked at CBC (long before sportsnet deal) .. hockey contributed to 50% of CBC revenue ..
In this last deal with sportsnet I don't believe CBC got anything
Some people without cable or sportsnet won't have hockey anymore..
TSN still owns the HNIC theme song though! .. hopefully one day they get a chance to compete with Sportsnet again for NHL games and can re-use it
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!! (Thank you Lord!)
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World

At this point... I might just be cheering for Amazon to take all NHL games. Then I only have to sign up for one thing to watch hockey.
