Yeah, when Calgary went out that decision became a no-brainer. Two media equipped arenas and the largest market in the league vs two small arenas that where television cameras were never a consideration. Shame though, as I think the Tigers-Warriors series will be the better one. Nice to get a look at a team I never see in Everett though.

Real nice for all you folks who live in Western Canada. But I wish one of the television stations or Comcast would work out a deal to pick up the feed and broadcast it here.

There have been rumblings that Comcast would offer the Tips on demand. My friend even recieved a flyer from them saying that the Tips and Chiefs would soon be live. Maybe they can rebroadcast it here. It would make sense if someone records it here for our games.
