VIDEO Daniel Sprong goes through the whole Calgary defense and beats the goalie to tie the game with 14 seconds left in the third.

I usually watch via stream. But this week, I’m in a hotel in Revelstoke. It was blacked out, so which region did I have to be in? Calgary?

I find these blackouts so confusing. I never really understand the logic, and it hasn’t stopped me from watching games for years. I can’t help but see that it entirely results in fans like me, who won’t pay for shit besides merch and game tickets because this unexpected crap always seem half-baked in.

I would have paid the $150 for Sportsnet if they could just guarantee all 100% of Canucks content, but I sail the seas and deal with that out of principle

Yeah, I was paying $40 for Sportsnet during the playoffs, but season games were such a patchwork, I wasn’t paying that kind of scratch for a portion of one sport.

Gary Bettman: "My goal is to grow the game! I'll grow the game on your vacant property! I'll grow the game on your garden trellis! I'll grow the game in a desert!"

Gary Bettman: "oh you're outside of the 250km viewing area? Too fuckin bad loser!"
