What is really irritating to me is that I live in Los Alamos, NM. I'm 6 hours from Denver and 7 hours from Phoenix. Both games are blacked out for me. Even when the games are in TO. I've cut the cord a couple of years ago and only pay for the streaming app on my Apple TV. Before that though, I paid DirecTV for the center ice package, paid for the app, paid extra to get NHL TV, paid extra to get NBC sports, and of course XM Radio. What really pissed off was when I was out of town and couldn't watch a game because it was on NHL network. There was literally no other revenue stream I could send my money. I'm good now though, because of cheap VPN solutions.
