I just want to talk about it a bit.

During the World Junior Championship, TSN.ca & RDS.ca were transmitting all the games live on the internet, and at first people around the world could login and watch. The feed was amazing, the quality was more than acceptable. The final game, all of a sudden the service was only available for Canadian users only.

Two questions:

1- What's the use of having these feeds available only in Canada if the games are already live on TV? Wouldn't it make more sence if the games were available for people living outsite Canada like me, who could not find a possible way to watch the game they love?

2- Till when are we going to be able to watch NHL games live on the internet? Isn't the NHL constantly searching for means to gain popularity? Building a fan base? I personally know around 50 people in the country where i live now, who are willing to pay for a monthly subsciption in order to get the feed. I am ready. Why doesn't the NHL do something about it?

Finally, even the NHL.com site doesn't offer the fans much material, and what they do offer is really of bad quality. Who is running the show i wonder.

Thank you TSN.ca for always giving us top of the line service, amazing reports and flawless quality highlights of all the games.

It is good to see you writing again. The USA junior team if it were ever thought to be a championship winner would be on TV in the States.

Thank you Letsgoredwings, i do go through periods where i really don't feel like writing anymore, then i start again. I agree with what you said, but what really interests me is being able to see NHL games on the internet. It is frustrating to only have radio as a choice, in 2007, if you don't live in North America!

ABOUT ME


CHFEVER4EVER
Hello all, My name is Jorj aka Ninoz aka Jorjino aka Wolf aka Isolater, the last one only used in online poker. I have been following the Habbs for 15 years now, haven't missed a game nor trade nor gossyp since we won the 1993 cup. That season I lived one block away from the Old Forum on Tower Street and I was in the middle of the action, I was 19 and since, I haven't let go of my need for another similar experience. I have been involved in a lot of Habbs hockey since, majorly organising pools discussing rumors, analysing games etc... I also make a good living betting online sports and playing online poker, my other big hobby. I started this Blog because i like to give my opinion about my favourite team, and I like to have my opinion discussed. So your input is necessary....
