Last Monday I had the foresight to order Centre Ice so we could watch the Jets games. On Thursday we had the game on Centre Ice. Today we get the message saying we aren't subscribed to that channel... 1/7
So I phone them to sort it out. Of course, no matter how "important " my call is to them, they do not have enough people to answer the phone. I have a wait time of 20 to 25 minutes. Roughly the entire first period... 2/7
This has been a problem every season since the Jets came back to Wpg. See, in Alberta, the NHL doesn't want people watching or cheering for out of market teams. We live in AB, so they figure we should cheer for the Flames or the Oilers. It doesn't work that way. 3/7
I get blackouts in the city where the game is being played if they can't sell seats in the arena. A bit mean, considering what they charge for tickets. And there has never been a problem selling out the MTS Centre. 4/7
And now there are no ticket sales. Anyway, you could get around the NHL's desire to force you to watch the local team by getting Centre Ice. Except, every bloody year Shaw screws it up. It's like every year they are re-inventing the process. 5/7
It's infuriating. Whether it's that I have to call every day to see if they have opened Centre Ice for subscriptions, or they say we have it but we really don't... Or we have it and then we don't anymore, like this year. It's freaking ridiculous. 6/7
Shaw is actively pushing us to cancel our service. We found an online stream to watch. And it makes us both wonder why we have a cable (satellite) service at all.... 7/7 @ShawDirect
