I'm pretty sure the games are free until the end of January.

I know that, but Center Ice blacks out regional broadcasts so they dont pull revenue from local broadcasters, does this still apply while its the free preview?

Leafs should be blacked out because its a nation televised event but then again centre ice was showing Calgary and Vancouver. Idk how it works but leafs games never make it on there

If it's anything like Gamecentre, you won't be able to watch a game that would be otherwise televised in your area, and your area is considered Ontario.

On the listings earlier it said it would be playing on channel 451 (Rogers). So i guess now i'm confused as well ^_^

If it's blacked out in your area why not just pay the $2 for Leaf tv?

is that Leaf TV area? if so, you will be blacked out. If not, you will see the game.

[Revolt]

Well that sucks, was hoping i'd be able to catch it on here since i dont have leafs tv

Rule of thumb is: If your cable provider has the channel listed (even as PPV) and you live in team's area, you won't get that game on Center Ice.
