   There have always been blackouts.  Rogers bought the national broadcast   
   package, but the teams still get to sell local broadcast rights.  TSN has   
   the local rights for the Jets and Senators, and part of the Leafs package   
   ... Rogers has the local rights to the Habs, Flames, Oilers, Canucks, and   
   part of the Leafs package ... local games can only be shown in the teams   
   "local" area ... same as last year ... same as it ever was.   
      
   Here are the gory details:

   So if you're a Leafs fan in Manitoba, and you want to see every Leafs game,   
   you're going to have to buy NHL Centre Ice, just like you did last year.
