That 5 channels thing is a bit of a myth. They have TSN 1, which is just the new name for TSN. TSN 2 is the same as it has been since it was created - secondary programming to complement TSN when two live events are shown at the same time. TSN's 3, 4 and 5 are really just regional channels (for Winnipeg, Ottawa and Montreal) that broadcast the same thing as TSN 95% of the time, and almost always only deviate when there is a local event (Jets, Sens or Habs hockey) shown only in that region (then we get blackouts of TSN 4 and 5). So they really are still only using 2 channels for TSN - the most I've ever seen is 3 different types of events on the different channels that you would consider "national" broadcasts. Kind of a pointless exercise expanding the channels like that, IMO. And despite what TSN and my cable company promised me, I don't get all 5 channels with the same cable subscription I had signed up for when they only had the 2 channels. My former TSN feed has now become TSN 3, and I don't have access to the main network anymore! Fortunately, as noted above, 95% of the time it isn't a problem because they are showing the same thing on 1 and 3 (and 4 and 5 for that matter). They actually use them for Tennis quite a bit...to show different courts at the same time.......and have started using it for curling, to show different sheets. But yes, most of the time, you are right...it's a re-feed of TSN.

You can't just put an entire broadcast crew together on 3 days notice.... Lol. Let's enjoy some Irving, folks...

Is Ivan Brown a tackle or a DE? 'Cause that's one name.....

Anyone know who Cameron is referring to? Dan West? I had not heard of any injury so far being more noteworthy than the rest. I believe it's Louie Richardson that's on the 6-game...

MOS says Dile likely not playing Friday. Gotta think that if Jace Daniels shows well in there again at RT, then Dile could be gonzo this weekend....or do they keep a guy like that on the 6-game?

Anyone there today? Sounds like a lot of starters back on the field for the first time in awhile. Picard taking a Vet Day (...rabble rabble HOW DARE HE?!!11!? herp derp....) and now apparently both Bryant Turner and Zach Anderson on the limp...

As a fan, 21 teams and about 65 games would be more than enough....and higher quality hockey. More top end players, and they'd be healthier and have more to give by playing less.

It's Toews and it's really not that close. Only thing he hasn't won is a Hart, and that's overdue...

aka The Centurion....

a shame Everett didn't really grow the way they'd hoped, but it happens. Was a long shot for him to convert properly...

I'd think the 1s get close to a half.....get some momentum going before the season starts.

Lol @ Wade Miller vs FIFA.... I wanna see that as a movie...

#IsItFridayYet

Last year's ST Captain, I believe...

But then what is there to gain? Don't you think the coaches have known for a while who will be cut? No I don't think that. I honestly believe there will be relatively-last-minute debates...

I prefer mine to take as long as they need to get it right.

I wish HBO wasn't so damn expensive cause there's lots of stuff I'd sure like to see...

They're not gonna make it public a moment before they have to, and why should they?

Decisions likely made, players maybe told, announcement not necessary......

Obviously edited his post as things happened rather than postings multiple times...

Yeah, yknow, thinking about it... Dunigan was severely dinged at that point and everyone knew it. I don't remember McManus's ability from those early days, but I mightve been willing to listen to an argument.......

If there's a God, our possibly-incredible DL ends their season before it begins, June 27...

As to be expected. Just don't tell the Marve Is Best clan. When healthy, no question Willy is The Man....

Looks like Joe Fleming at TC with his kids today...almost forgot he had a brief stint in Winnipeg some years ago...
