Are BC's cable company really that crappy?

[Barrister]

CC's argument seems to be he can't watch whatever soccer/basketball game he wants, which is laughable.  I have to pay a bunch of money to be able to watch my Jets games, so it's not like you can easily watch every hockey game on basic tv either.

Strawman for the win!

Jetboy, as a hockey fan you can watch a very large number of hockey games on basic cable.  I get no basketball games other than during March madness.  See the difference?

That's just incorrect.  Even the most basic cable package gives you TSN, which shows Raptors games.

You'll also get ABC.  A quick check on the NBA website shows that ABC shows 30 regular season games during the season.

And NBA playoffs also get some coverage.

No, he's just lying.  Or ignorant.  Either one is possible.

Well Beeb, there's always next year.  Although isn't realignment going to move the Jets into a division that isn't a total joke?

I was hoping to see BB's Jets during the playoff, too bad.  Better luck next year BB

On the bright side, Quebec city gets a bit of publicity in the WSJ

I meant on regular cable, not on some NBA specialized channel?

Yeah regular cable.  But you have to remember NBA TV is mainly about getting the big stars like Kobe and Durant and Lebron out there.  So regional coverage is far less of a thing for the NBA than it is with most leagues.

Man that was a real kick in the nuts.

Jets were playing well, up 2-1 after two periods.  I go to check the out of town games - Rangers and Sens both win.  Jets officially eliminated.

I turned off the game to go play with Timmy in the backyard.  Apparently the players did the same thing because the final was 4-2.

Ah well.  Now I've got at least a month of no sports until the CFL training camps get under way...

[Neil]

Well, at least Montreal was able to get going and win a game.  So their sacrifice was not in vain.

Stupid leafs. Also, Montreal goalie has Flanders on his mask lol
