This game is blacked out on Sportsnet, giving the message that it is not available in my area (Ottawa), which is fine, but when I go to Centre Ice, it says the game is available on 417. Neither HD nor SD channels are working and Shaw Support has an hour wait time.

do you have Gamecenter Live?

You can watch it there.

My internet is not fast enough to stream video. One reason I have Centre Ice. Still not working. Ridiculous.

Ottawa is part of the Montreal Canadiens region. TSN has exclusive English rights to the game in the Canadiens region. The TSN-Habs feed isn't available on Shaw Direct; therefore, the only way to watch the game on Shaw Direct in the Canadiens region is on RDS.

Why isn't Ottawa part of the Ottawa Senators market? I don't subscribe to RDS and even if I did, making me watch this game in French is complete BS.

Also, Islanders/Flyers is not working and Blackhawks/Predators is pixelated and audio cuts in and out.

Montreal and Ottawa share territory, all of eastern Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. It was part of the deal when the Senators started broadcasting regional games on Sportsnet since they were going into what had always been Montreal territory in Atlantic Canada and Quebec.
