Not having Debrusk and Michales in Edm/Dal series just shows your incompetence to the Western viewers- ALL ABOUT THE LEAFS

What is it with Sportsnet.

You have your own station; why the *** do you think you have every stream channel as well as other stations?

God damn it, who wants to jack up your price to $24.99 plus tax and then take over other stations so no one can watch our Leafs play for once? But no, you people don't make enough money as it is, so you have to deprive people of watching the Leafs unless you pay to use the Sportsnet channel and others that you have monopolized, so no one can stream. Then you freeze the channel that you were able to get, but Sportsnet freezes you, so you can't watch the game unless you pay.

Thanks a lot.

Pretty disgusting, disrespectful, and selfish, to say the least.

For $199.99/year, 55 cents a day, you get the Leafs, Blue Jays, Raptors, Premier League Soccer and more. If that is cost-prohibitive to your needs then move on.

But in reality you don't get any of those because if your watching it on anything but a phone/computer it's just a frozen screen with sound in the background, or crashes, or buffering even though it's already a delayed stream, stuck in 720p even though it's 2025. You get alot or choices for the $, but the quality/reliability of the product makes it seem like a scam.

Can't boot other devices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My kids had left sportsnet signed in on devices somewhere and i couldn't get in to watch the game. Account settings give you no option to log out all devices.

I changed the password successfully but that still doesn't log out other devices which makes no sense... isn't that the point of a password? Emailed sportsnet and asked them to log out all devices, they said no they can't do it. I have to find the devices and log them out.

Thats a complete lie, of course sportsnet can wipe all my devices.

In the end I didn't get to watch a single second of round 2 game 1 Oil vs Vegas and still no resolution. Sportsnet is a joke.

View full review
Cons:
  • Terrible app
  • Terrible streaming quality
  • Terrible customer service

Preferred solution: A time machine so I can go back and watch the hockey game

User's recommendation: Sportsnet will screw you over knowing there's nothing you can do about it. Their streaming is incredibly glitchy and laggy.

It sounds like you should direct your anger at your irresponsible kids you raised. Are they hiking Everest that you can’t reach them? Maybe think twice about giving them the new password when you get your self-inflicted grievance resolved.

Commentators on Senator leafs game

Updated by user May 01, 2025

I am forced to use them as there is no other option available.

Original review Apr 30, 2025

Watching game 5 between Ottawa and Toronto. Ottawa wins 4-0, and at the end of the game, when they announced the final score, it resembled reading an obituary.

Ottawa just had a big shutout win, and it was pathetic and insulting how the announcer stated the final score.

The post-game: they only talked about Toronto. They should have been reminded of who won the game. They only showed one post-game interview, and it was of a Toronto player.

Again, Ottawa won the game.

Come on, Sportsnet.

Excited to watch the game on replay after a long day at work, I open Sportsnet and before I see anything else, at the top of the screen is the spoiler right in plain view. Can you at least put the "replays" at the top and put all the news at the bottom? Also, lately the streams have been choppy and feel like I'm about to have a seizure.

I have yet to get this resolved, it’s been a week today, subscription has been paid since April 20,2025 and I have yet to see a playoff game, I will never trust Sportsnet again, and if anyone asks about their service I will tell them that It’s awful, no one returns my calls all I get is someone on Chat and get nothing in return. The worst service for a multi million $ company. No excuses
