NHL Center Ice

[dekedastardly]

Is it worth it? Living outside of "Leafs region" (45 mins to home of the Turds), in the country where the internet isn't fantastic. I'm tired of playing the IP blocker streaming service game but is there any other way around blackouts? Will I have access to more games? Subscribers past or present, what say you?

The only way I'd say it's worthwhile is if you're outside the Leafs region(which you are).

I'd probably try to confirm that you're *definitely* outside of the Leafs region for blackouts. I've read sometimes people around Ottawa can still get hit with it.

Just nice that we have the annual reminder that the NHL absolutely blows at making their product easy to watch.

No kidding.  Where is the one-stop, one-payment All-Leafs package?

I suspect they don't have one because they don't want to admit that demand for similar packages for the other teams would be minuscule outside of the Original 6 and maybe a handful more (if that).

I'm definitely outside the Leafs region for blackouts. However, there is a very obscure cable sports channel that has the NHL rights and tends to fairly regularly pick Leafs games due to their popularity meaning that often games on Center Ice are blacked out in the UK also.

They even black them out if the crappy cable channel is showing the games on a tape delay.

Therefore I have sought other means of obtaining access to streamed sports which costs less. And I'd actually be willing to pay the full Center Ice price, but...
