Dang, I was hoping for TSN. When I'm watching OOT games on ESPN+ down here, I'm shocked in the difference in quality between TSN and Sportsnet.

Me too.. I like TSN .. first rate.. better pundits.. better vibe.. more authentic.. plus they own the HNIC theme song!
Rogers is too big.. owns the Jays.. the Leafs.. even the Raptors.. broadcasters owning sports franchises is a conflict.. they just bought Shaw out West here as well.. own half the cable.. plus half mobility.. time to break the Eastern conglomerate up.. its negatively affecting the consumer market place.. still can't believe the CRTC allowed rogers to buy Shaw.. but then the CRTC is run by central Canada government .. so really shouldn't be surprised.
It also explains something I noticed recently where whenever during a Leafs game an infraction on Leaf is missed, or a an infraction by a Leaf is weak.. Simpson will pipe up about it and actually call it out during the broadcast.. then compare that when DeBrusk calls an Oiler game.. you see inevitable missed call.. and/or the ghost call on an Oiler.. and not one discouraging word comes out of DeBrusk.. everyone at home knows they saw the same thing he did .. and zero comment.. so afraid to upset the NHL.. can't understand the reason he ignores it.. looking to get out of the Oiler games and going for a future national gig? Maybe Rogers tells the NHL their man Simpson can say what he wants regarding Leaf infractions.. Anyway the difference in criticism level between the two broadcasts is noticeable.
