i'm in nova scotia - i get TSN and all the Sportsnet channels. I've already missed several games this year, including the last two because they aren't available out here.

it's pretty f'ing silly, and getting on my nerves.

(2) 76'ers to win title @ 31
Webb Simpson to win US Money Title @ 17
Brandt Snedeker to win US Money Title @ 26

I have centre ice, but the Leafs games are blacked out for me. I watched it tonight on TSN, but if TSN or CBC doesn't show a Leafs game I don't get it. I guess they expect me to pay a couple hundred for the tickets, drive 4 1/2 hours and pay through the teeth for overpriced parking and food. Oh well, I'm not a Leafs fan.

I don't get the issue with showing the games at a cineplex, I think it's a great idea.

Does the games being in the theatre mean you CAN'T get them on TV cause if so that would piss me off. If not I think it might be fun once in a while to see a game in a theatre.

I'm an Oilers fan and they've had PPV games for the past few seasons for select games which really suck I don't get how you should have to pay for individual games to prove you're a fan.

It would be different to watch a game in a theatre, but I couldn't watch a hockey game without beer.

Better off just going to a bar with your buddies... they'll always show the game there.
When I go to a fast food restaurant, and my order comes to $6.28, I like to give the cashier $18.71. They look at me and say 'What's this?' and I say 'I'm all in'. They usually fold.

The leaf games being broadcast in theatres are the games that are carried only on LeafTV, their own subscription specialty channel.
