Four-time Stanley Cup champion Claude Lemieux passes away at 60 - Sportsnet.ca

As with everything the new commish does....

Whenever something is streamed, there is usually a way to get it for free. It's just a matter of finding it....Sounds like this might present a really great learning opportunity for some MBB members lol.

.....I think that there will be quite a few fans dropping out of the DAZN broadcast, when a new subscription is required to get one game...AND if that remains the case I will just wait for next day hi-lites

....although I don't think he'd be as funny as bearpants at a party.....Have to smile everytime I see that handle

Interesting... I have been thinking of canceling my cable because I only watch sports on it. IPTV is great, but I can't let go of my pvr!!!

DAZN is taking the game exclusively. TSN has the broadcast rights to the remaining games. That means DAZN will have their own commentators, production, and so on. Think like the Amazon Prime NHL games on Monday nights.

We're all hardcore fans and we're balking and saying its a lot to pay for one game a week or realistically 1 game a month that you want to watch. I get the extra money and how its good but this just seems like a way to lose more fans.

When I read it, I understood that they would hire their own crew... and I had the exact same thought as you

Money in 2027 would affect the 2028 cap. If all financials are reported in a timely manner.

Wasn't this proven when we removed TV black outs from local games?

Is DZN taking a game from TSN every week, or are they just airing the TSN on their service? I don't see how them taking the game would be beneficial for the CFL. Streaming the TSN feed makes sense....but just taking a game a week would suck.

Ya so the 500 million does seem to be accurate. Being reported that it's a bump of 3.5 million per team, from this.

As league revenues grow it should help to make some additional teams to be viable even with smaller stadiums.

all posters are getting a 100% raise from their current salary of...

Yeah this is a little like sticking a roman candle up your butt and calling yourself an astronaut by the CFL. The NFL is literally the highest premium product in the whole world. The CFL can't really follow their lead. They need eyeballs, not barriers. And everything they are doing endangers the solid core fans they already have in each market. Underrated aspect in Stew Johnston's tenure is him doing the bidding of his former employer.

Corey Perry at age 90: ‘ I think one more year then that’s it.’

Bell is gradually extricating itself from producing live sports that it sells direct to consumer. It learned from the NHL it's not the easiest way to make money. Rogers also wants out of producing live sports as they are bleeding cash on NHL. CBC is already 100% out on pro sports. They want to sell everything to streamers or rebroadcast ESPN/Sky Sports (F1) and other international feeds. In the long run this is pretty bad news for sustainability of the broadcast market in Canada. If the streamers lose interest or realize the product doesn't sell, back to square one with limited production capacity existing.

Given the new deal MBB better step up with a raise for me next year.

Canada advances to semifinals with win over U.S. at worlds - Sportsnet.ca

Wow you must be fun at parties.

Yup....I like to see at least 2 additional spots for Imports, and 1 Canadian Based on the dollar value being mentioned in news...doesn't this effectively triple what teams will be taking in money wise from their previous portion of the current TV deal?

This would be the complete opposite of that though. If it was a Jake Thomas situation then Wilson would still be here....he is the Jake Thomas.

Well why wouldn’t he? See Jake Thomas. I’ll show myself out.

Deal starts in 2027 so next year we will see massive SMS increases. I hope they also add roster spots. I can't foresee a circumstance where the CFLPA doesn't go in that direction with the player's share. Maybe they keep a bit for benefits but the lion's share will be SMS and it will be a massive increase. We may see a whole bunch of million dollar contract receivers next offseason.
