What's embarrassing is that the unauthorized streams are better quality, less lag, and less buggy.
I really wish someone would get their crap together and just offer me hockey I can actually watch without a VPN... I'll give you money.
I don't want bundles of other crap I'll never watch that is more expensive than having cable outright (looking at you fubo).
I just want to pay someone for hockey and not have it die multiple times per game or have to circumvent blackouts.
Right now, the easiest method is to just use unauthorized streams. And that's a freaking travesty.
