Sorry, all kinds of anger after getting of the phone with our new hockey overlords over here.

Anyone else supremely pissed off at Bettman for selling the NHL broadcast rights in Canada to Rogers?

Get this pile of honking crap...

If you're in central Ontario:

Toronto Maple Leafs

56 games (16 of these will require a SN TV subscription with a participating TV provider* from January 1, 2015)

Wtf? So you pay full price for a service that offers you 40 of 56 (of 82) games. And to get the remaining 16 you need to pay Rogers even more money to get their 1/2-assed Sportsnet channel (that no one watches).

It's even worse for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland & Labrador:

Montreal Canadiens

All 82 games (42 of these will require a SN TV subscription with a participating TV provider* from January 1, 2015)

And yet, they have the balls to say: No blackouts of Montreal Canadiens English games in this region. Well, at least Habs fans get to see 82 games. I feel for Leafs fans who only get to see 56.

Oh, and the Rogers Gamecenter guy I spoke with also added, that if you signed up in Canada and find yourself in the US, you get no coverage at all because Rogers only allows you to view games live in Canada.

A big heartful F-U Bettman for letting Rogers rip us off so blatantly.

Apparently the solution is to purchase your Gamecenter Live subscription from outside North America to get all the games...

You have lost your seat at the all mighty hockey table of the 1st mrb.

Yea I hear ya, they kept saying this will give us more content but it seems like we're losing more than we are gaining. I didn't even bother getting Gamecenter because of this, Rogers is a fucking joke. CBC will no longer be streaming their games online and TSN always has a blackout on theirs. You NEED a tv with all the SN channels and all the TSN channels, which costs more money. It's highway robbery.

Apparently Rogers is using your IP address to determine if they blackout local games to really squeeze $$ out of Canadians.

I eventually found out that I have a US subscription ($99 vs $199 w/ Rogers) and it might be possible to stream GCL after Dec. 31st with a VPN?

Parker, what are you using to watch the games this year? And I totally agree that it's highway robbery.

Engle- You guys had me on the kiddie table anyways :)

Yeah, the ref cam is kind of a nice gimmick (until it wears thin).

Good to see that Rogers is acknowledging all the gouging they've done on you. It's to set you up for next year when they charge you $200 for Gamecenter.

Hey Engle, does Comcast have an agreement with the Stars or do you have occasional games being blacked out?

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
