• Comment on Subban back on the ice
  Some of us (where I work) have tried talking to the cable companies, but they say it's out of their hands. It has to do with something about regional syndication. The games that you are seeing "blacked out" are like that because they were only "bought" (I assume the networks from the NHL) to be broadcast in the region where they are from. With the habs, RDS must have some deal where they can show all games to all regions. I'm sure there are certain channels down in the states that are the same. All I know is that as a "secondary" Jets fan there is no possible way, no matter how much I'm willing to pay, that I can get every single game.

  I like Subban, and his attitude, but disagree with your jump to prejudice. I think it's the "I'm a big shot" type of swagger that he exudes that hasn't yet been seen as much in the NHL as it has in the NFL and NBA. I really don't buy that this has anything to do with the color of his skin.

  I live on the east coast, on Bell Satellite and watch every habs game that I'm able. Thanks to RDS this is possible. Although, I'm originally from Winnipeg and was thinking to follow the Jets a bit as well. However, I have the same problem as you. If you are outside of the region, you can't get a guaranteed "feed" of every game. I know Leaf and Canuck fans that are in the same boat. I really do not understand it because not only does it frustrate the fans, but someone is missing revenue as a result. If I'm a fan of a team, and live outside their region, there should be a channel that I can get to watch every game. To head certain people off at the pass, watching on internet is not an option for me. For a good number of us in rural areas, true high speed Internet is not available.
