    ESPN's Top Ten Sports Rivalries

    "Montreal-Toronto has not been a playoff series since 1979. Calgary-Edmonton? 1991. New York-New York? 1994. The Habs and Bruins have had countless legendary battles. Even though they were usually knocking my Sabres out of the playoffs in the late 1980s and early 90s, those Boston-Montreal...

    Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg

    That is true - it will be the smallest venue in the NHL - and sorry I should have been clearer - I really meant an upgrade over the Winnipeg Arena (although I vaguely remember Mike Keane talking about the wonderful changes in Winnipeg with the Moose and the arena on Hockey Day in Canada this...

    Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg

    Not to diminish the point but the Canadian dollar is worth almost as much as a US dollar right now. It does provide a nice advantage (for the moment) when paying in US dollars for salary and getting Canadian dollars for revenue. And the MTS centre has been upgraded - maybe not NHL standard but...

    Quick question about regional sports packages

    I am in one of the other 'claimed areas" by the Cardinals - it seems to be on 418 (Midwest), 441 HD feed from ?, 443 HD feed from ? and 447(SD), 449(SD) I have access to 418, 441, and 449 (it looks like 443 and/or 447 is your best option being in Astro market - good luck

    Multi Sport Package blackout question - not a live game

    Perhaps they violate the NFL boundary restrictions and/or the time restriction for replays - for example there is a time limit (24 hours if I remember correctly - can't find the reference ) for MLB until replays can be seen outside the local area

    Post Your Bill

    Thank you for posting that with the Center Ice confusion - I have that too but mine is even odder with 5 credits and 5 charges. I was concerned I was the only one the way the customer service reps are acting

    I have an NHL CI question

    Considering that you're in NW Ohio - sadly no... The multi-sport package gives you the RSNs but not the major league events they air on them (as you would be blacked out for the Ducks games) You would have to be in the local broadcast area for the Ducks which no doubt includes most of...

    Post Your Bill

    That's a grandfathered package of the superstations and local channels (I have that on my bill too)

    Thursday, October 1st Opening Night of NHL

    That was the case last year - any game to an IP address outside of Canada was blocked but who knows this year

    Thursday, October 1st Opening Night of NHL

    Any time a US provider has national rights, they have exclusive rights for broadcasts (CI cannot show Canadian/other games). This can be particular annoying when in January/February NBC has national rights on an afternoon and the CBC is showing a game - they cannot be shown on CI This is...

    411?

    That is not true ... that was the case and sold to the reps that way but all my receivers (including a 411) are now DVRs with the external drives

    President's address tonight

    I wonder if that is due to their news channel (Fox Business) covering it?
