Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · 100% Hockey's John Shannon (7/29/26) · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

That one with Dave Semenko and the other one with Jamie McCowan. voice-verified

Well, there's I mean, it's a Rubik's Cube of what it means. voice-verified

The biggest thing for me, Bob, is that Amazon and Rogers and the league signed a 12 year deal. voice-verified

So we're not talking about Amazon, you know, dipping its toe in the water anymore. voice-verified

Amazon is committed to the National Hockey League for 12 years in Canada, and that includes playoffs. voice-verified

Amazon will get two rounds of playoffs. voice-verified

So that to me is a very interesting aspect of this. voice-verified

What it means to me from a purely subjective perspective is there's going to be competition between the two companies, between Amazon and Rogers for the quality of broadcast. voice-verified

And that's something in many ways I think has been lacking the last few years. voice-verified

So you're going to be able to watch two companies produce hockey differently. voice-verified

And we'll see if that can improve the product on television for both groups. voice-verified

And that's a big thing. voice-verified

The other aspect of this is they also bought French rights. voice-verified

And, you know, the league has had a difficult time selling French rights. voice-verified

at this point, just because they're not really big moneymakers, but there's an expectation that the French viewers would pay a hefty price for it. voice-verified

So the fact that Amazon has French rights too is important for, I think, the fact that Amazon can now turn a profit on these games. voice-verified

It's going to be fascinating to watch. voice-verified

It's 26 games this week, this year. voice-verified

Four games from the Edmonton Oilers are in the package. voice-verified

Seven games are Montreal games. voice-verified
