I don’t get why the NHL just doesn’t make every single game available on their app for a monthly subscription, free of any regional blackouts.
I guess they’d lose out on the RSN and cable deals but wouldn’t they recoup the money pretty quickly by going down this route?
PAY FOR FULL CABLE OR DIE, SCUM!
It’s not even true, the game will be on ABC & ESPN+. Games on ABC are not blacked out.

The NHL is maximizing their profit, that’s really all you have to understand. When putting all the games on their own app is more profitable it will happen.
I had to get a basic cable package just to get 1 channel to be able to watch VGK games.
I use ESPN+ to watch most other games and then I CAST the STREAMS for anything else or streaming on the go
EDIT: for discretion
To Bettman it does.
“Go fuck yourself” – the NHL
No soup for you!
I’m not a fan of piracy and think that the performer should be compensated. I was one of the very few who thought Napster was unfair to musicians in the early 2000’s. But even I think that the NHL has brought piracy upon itself with its television policies. This is some bullshit. I don’t like Gary Bettman but he’s a smart guy and they probably have some mathematical reason why they do this, but I hope their math is wrong and this destroys their television revenue. It’s the only way they will change anything.
People wonder why the NHL isn’t as popular. You can’t even watch the fucking games half the time.
NHL: we need to grow the sport’s fan base!
Also NHL: no televised games for yoooouuuuu
Every blues game in saint Louis is blacked out
The NHL is killing itself from horrible broadcasting deals. Idk how it’s so hard for them to make the regional games always accessible
ESPN+, HOME OF THE COMPLETE 30 FOR 30 COLLECTION
*but only 10% of the actual hockey games*
I’m sure Denver has some really nice sports bar/restaurants. Have a great meal, a few drinks (if you partake) and enjoy the game amongst all the other Avs fans. Other than that, it’s radio or watch a replay later that night and try not to hear the score.
This is fucking hilarious. Like. What the actual fuck.
The nhl should just partner with nord vpn, at least then they can get a piece of the pirate pie
Tonight’s Avs/Devils game is an ESPN+ exclusive game so you shouldn’t be blacked out in Denver or NJ because the local networks (Altitude/MSGSN) are not broadcasting it.
It is really confusing to watch NHL. MLS made it really easy to watch their games by streaming them all in one subscription via Apple TV without blackouts. They’re the league that’s ahead of every other major league by getting out of the dying world of RSNs.
Aside from sailing the high seas, I haven’t been able to watch a single Preds game in the past 2 years, and I live 45 mins outside Nashville. Gf has been asking this whole time why I don’t watch it if I’m such a fan of the team & sport…🤷🏼♂️
