So, assuming that Rogers uses the same servers for NHL Live and Sportsnet Now, doesn't this really boil down to buying NHL Live and getting SN Now free?
NHL moves to a hostage model for viewing for Canadians. Only on SN NOW, no more NHL live for Canada.

But if you read the OP, the tweet says that you'll be able to get the same content by subscribing to SN Now for the same price as NHL Live.

way too many streams available to ever subscribe to a regular-season package.
Playoffs sure, if you want to get a package it might make sense.

I’m not sure about the same content though, it’s says more regional games, doesn’t say all regional games. I guess it is confusing.
As before Live wasn’t regional games, at least my understanding.
Oh I see they are changing name to premium,
So assuming Sportsnow Now (non premium) to be old price?
Hopefully for in market fans non premium will still be available.
Should be or get a high def attena, if you can pick up a local CBC feed, that would be free. They are cheap.

They'd have to blackout the entire game if they want to mask officiating.

I just find a free stream online to watch my sports at this point. There are times it takes me a few minutes to find a good stream, but I never miss any games that I want to watch. I rarely have freezing and buffering issues too.
Premium existed before. It included a lot of international rugby and soccer stuff (and other stuff from, I think, from Sportsnet World) They’ve now expanded that tier to include out-of-market NHL and the Wwe Network). From all indications, the Standard tier is continuing as is, because it’s listed right beside Premium on the sales page for the packages,
As for regional games, you’ll get all out-of-market regional games plus any in-market regional games that are carried by Sportsnet. So, someone living outside the Leafs region would get all Leafs games (regional and national). Someone living in the Leafs region would get all national Leafs games plus the 15 or so regional games carried by Sportsnet Ontario, but not the 26 regional games carried by TSN4.

Lets just keep that under our hat shall we ? I live in a zone that shares the Sens and Habs while blacking out the Leafs so I can't even buy a package that includes Leafs home games , don't screw up what works by leaking it to the holier than tho eh !
Center Ice and NHL Live both black out the Leafs here .
Not true working up in Nunivut we still had the Leafs games blacked outPremium existed before.

No that’s a 100% wrong on out of market games, as someone that has had it for over 20 years, With my regional package and Centre Ice, I get 100% of any teams games, unless for some weird game it’s not televised, but doesn’t really happen anymore.
I know Roger’s didn’t always have the full Centre Ice, maybe 80% at one time.
With Bell I’ve never missed any out of market games with Centre Ice for 20 years of any team.
I’m the same region as you in Habs/Sens region btw, and get all the Leafs games.
Maybe someone else can chime in on out of market experience with Centre Ice,

Surely the powers at be know about it. They do carry American games that Rogers doesn't have the rights to, so they should skate by on that technicality. Who knows what will happen if the overlords pass C-11 though.

I don’t think so. Roger’s has access to out of market games like US games with Premium. So there is no technicality.

Every year I try to buy and every year they end up telling me everything but the Leafs , I'm an hr north of Ottawa on the Quebec side of the river so they offer me a choice of the Sens or the Habs but no Leafs pkg . Think what you want but if it isn't on HNIC or an away game being broadcast from the away team I can't get the Leafs game with a legit cable or Sat package .
If they run it like ESPN+ it's a positive it's basically NHL center ice for cheap
Espn+ is fabulas in US. Not just hockey but alot of other sports too. CFL if you want it. Only like 6 bucks a month , you could stop sub outside hockey regular season if you wanted to since all playoffs are on tnt or espn proper. Only drawback is watching a game on replay you can pretty much figure out when the game ends by the length on timeline. I wish they remove that.
Living in Toronto, with a regular cable package (whatever 'regular' means, but you get the picture) allows us to watch all weeknight games on either Sportsnet or TSN. And also Saturday night games on CBC.
Is any of this changing? If so, how?

ESPN+ sucks internationally (in Australia anyways), you have to join through a partnering network so you can’t actually stream through a smart or Apple TV, I end up having to airplay from my phone to the TV so quality is shit and you can’t pause a live game or start from the beginning. You have to filter through every other sport to even find the stream and eIther you watch the full live game or wait for an hour after it finishes to be able to watch the start and be able to pause - not sure what SN will be like but NHLlive was 10,000 X better than ESPN+
