A couple comments about the replies to this post. 1. I have been unable to find any evidence that Rogers has any ownership of the Canucks, I am aware they have a marketing deal that puts Rogers name on the arena, and the Canucks run ads for tickets on Rogers properties but that is all I have been able to find. Am I missing something? 2 Local radio coverage is controlled by Rogers Sportsnet 650. 3. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". FaninMex, a willingness to defend free speech in the face of public opinion is not allowing others to control you, it is refusing to be controlled. That being said you have a right to your opinion, as I have a right to mine and Don Cherry has a right to his. 4. If Rogers owns Telus I would love to see the chain of companies that makes it happen, they come across as bitter rivals. 5. My primary intention was to point out that there is no legitimate way to follow the team without dealing with Rogers, or have someone tell me there was a way that I missed. I am aware of other options, it was more that I was somewhat shocked to discover that there were no legal ways to do so. 6. I honestly had not realized CDC was run by Rogers until now, I had assumed it was run by the Canucks or the NHL. As I see the evidence that you are correct I will be leaving now. And to the moderators, sorry for putting this in the wrong area.

Is there a legal way to follow the Canucks without supporting Rogers Sportsnet? I just cancelled my Sportsnet Now because of the Don Cherry issue (I thought Don should have retired years ago but that was complete garbage) but I would still like to see or hear the Canucks games.

Edmonton doesn't have the cap space, they would have to restructure to make it work. There are very few teams with the roster space and cap space to claim him. I don't disagree with you about Pearson but they seem to have him locked in on the 2nd line.

I think they are trying to sneak Baer through in the crowd. There is a much better chance of getting him through now than once the injuries pile up. Eriksson and Schaller will be able to clear any time they want to send them down.

I expect you could get a pick for him, but he is worth more to the Canucks. Now if you can get a 4th for Goldobin, take it and run before the other team realizes what they have.

otherwise known as Campbell Crick or The Ditch. I moved to the wrong side of the bridge a couple years back. I guess I have to say Courtenay now.

I wonder if the Canucks will name their new coach or AV will name his new team first. It was time for a change but AV probably has a new job in the works already. Great coach, he will do well elsewhere.
