So far what I have gathered is, that if rinks have their own internal camera system (as the Halifax Metro Centre does) the Telus streaming is simply picking up that camera feed; other rinks just have a webcam that follows the play around (no fancy zooming). The feeds also have local radio station play-by-play attached to the feed. Before it plays the feed it asks which team you prefer and that gives you the correct 'homer' radio announcer. The Halifax Mooseheads feed was actually very clear. 
The first place Halifax Mooseheads opened their playoffs with a blowout 6-2 against the Victoriaville Tigres. Bryce Swan, had no less than 3 goals within the first half of the game.
And there were similar blowouts around the league, no upsets...yet. The Maritime teams are definitely giving a good show with all 4 teams from the Maritimes part of the good side of the blowouts.
Game 2 is played tomorrow night. The Quebec league employs a brutal playoff schedule. For example:
2 games in 2 nights in Halifax
1 travel day
3 games in 4 nights in Victoriaville
1 travel day
2 games in 2 nights in Halifax
potentially a very exhausting process if the series goes to seven games.
