I know what your saying Adam. They black out (even your local broadcast) in the Center Ice package. And you are right, they should have it turned on there also. It's not like you are watching a different telecast, it's still your home broadcast! Plus it would help me out from not having to switch back and froth from the Center Ice channels and my regional sports network and all my hockey would be in the same set of channels. Except for Vs. of course.
