An article that's stirring up discussion:
While the Canadiens game (against the Anaheim Ducks) was broadcast on Amazon Prime Video, it's reasonable to wonder if the tech giant might be behind all this speculation.

Yes, there could be significant changes in the way we watch Montreal Canadiens games (and the NHL in general) over the coming years.
In any case, we just hope it ends well for everyone involved.
Whether it's at RDS, TVA Sports, TSN or elsewhere, there are incredibly talented people who do amazing work showcasing our beautiful culture through sports.
We must not lose that.
News like this is understandably stressful for those in the industry who are directly involved, so our thoughts are with them. We reiterate our hope that this situation resolves in an ideal and sustainable way for everyone.
We are lucky to have high-quality networks like RDS, TVA Sports, TSN and others!
This is definitely a story to follow.
