The Blue Jackets took a page out of the Sharks and Coyotes books when they released today that they agreed to lift the local blackout! From the Blue Jackets:
COLUMBUS, OHIO – The Columbus Blue Jackets and FOX Sports Ohio announced October 20 that they have reached an agreement to have the NHL Center Ice local blackout lifted for the six games not scheduled to be televised by FOX Sports Ohio. The blackout will be lifted on all U.S. Center Ice providers, including DirecTV, Echostar (Dish Network) and iN DEMAND (digital cable).
The lifting of the blackout will allow Blue Jackets fans who subscribe to the NHL Center Ice package to view all 82 of the team’s regular season games. FOX Sports Ohio is carrying 75 games live this season, while the February 3rd game vs. St. Louis will be televised live on VERSUS. The six games affected by the blackout lift are: October 21 vs. Vancouver, October 25 at Minnesota, November 18 vs. Edmonton, December 4 at San Jose, December 29 at Los Angeles and March 13 at Chicago.
That means that I will be able to watch all 82 games! Also, just wanted to show the tribute to Mr. Mac.
