Sportsnet One

Yay, finally Canucks, Flames and Oilers fans will be able to see their Team on Sportsnet One this year, (provided they live in the right market of course) as Shaw has picked up the channel.  Oh yeah and Blue Jays fans, if there are any left, will also be able to watch their team. It is hard to know whether any other companies will pick up the channel or how much Shaw will charge for the channel once the free preview is over on October 3rd, but for the moment anyways, balance has been restored to the world.  The Channel is on 225 in HD and channel 159 in SD on Shaw Cable in Edmonton, Vancouver and Calgary with other cities arriving shortly.

NHL Playoffs

Well It's that time of year again when hockey fans all over North America (ok who's kidding who, All over Canada) grab a two-four and a bag of something greasy and settle down in front of the TV to cheer for their favorite team, or it's substitue if their favorite didn't make it. This year as my Favorite team the Canucks and my back up team the Oilers didn't make it, I'm going hedge my bets and support 1 team from the East and 1 Team from the West. So Go Flames and Go Senators May you meet in the Final and really tick off Gary Bettman.
