Any word if a Canadian provider will air this game since it's on ESPN2 in the states? I'm interested to see the match to say the least

Word is that there will be 45 out of market games on Gol TV...maybe it's one of them?
As of this moment the guide I have for GolTV on Shaw has no MLS games listed during the week and no gaps in the programming.
They have no listings for saturday and beyond yet.
edit - only thing Im picking up right now is New England/San Jose game saturday on WSBK Boston.

^^ Whoops! Sorry man my bad. I just double checked and the New England game is on WSBK, a Boston channel.
Rogers has Saturday (and Sunday) in their guide ... and they don't even show GolTV airing the Toronto FC game! So the guide doesn't mean much at this point. And their website doesn't seem to have any info past March 19th.
This seems typical for football in Canada - no broadcast information out until the last second. And then they wonder why no one watches the matches. I'm sure most people just look at the listing in the newspaper, or on the IPG ... so if they don't see it, they won't watch it.
Yeah you're absolutely right, the info likely isn't accurate. Was just saying what was listed as of this moment.
They just updated the MLS NET site.
Finally some info, and a whole 3 days before the season starts.
No info given yet as to what games will be included. Only a preview.

800K streams on the new MLS video service eh? nice.. I just signed up.. can't beat $20.
even the TFC isnt listed on the gol programming on the rogers box..but thats just an error?? More MLS games would be great.
just keep an eye on http://channelsurfing.net/
I'm sure they will have it.. usually the streams are solid.
If I can remember from last year ... on the main page under the schedule (right side) you'll see a video and radio selection on match day ... the quality was excellent last year. GolTV is brutal ... reluctant to resign to a bunch of Spanish games from South America. Who cares about soccer in Peru !
It's just Rogers ... GolTV now shows the game on their website ... though no pregame - however the time allotted for the previous La Liga game doesn't make sense (the games starts at 4 pm, but GOL has it scheduled "Live" from 5 to 8:30 pm).
I'll just program it manually from 8 pm to 11 pm, if the IPG doesnt' change.
Ottawa and Toronto will be the same.
