Speculation: 2020-21 News/Rumors/Roster Thread Part III

[Raccoon Jesus]

I was very big on Kupari before the world juniors. Hope he does not get lost in the shuffle.

He's making damn sure he doesn't on his own, thankfully.

Those shot attempt and goals for/against stats are even more impressive when you stack them up relative to team.

Roy's defense reminds me a little bit of a RH version Mattias Norstrom. So calm, collected with or without the puck and always seems in the right position. Really pleased with Roy.

Was noticing last night how few right shot forwards LA has. Would help with breakouts when the D has to play the puck up the boards to the right winger if that player was right show. Has not seemed to matter, but kind of surprised me. I think it was only Carter, Brown, Vilardi and Amadio. 2 of those are playing center. I have like Kempe with Kopitar and wonder if he moves to LW if you could put Carter or Brown there and move Iafallo back.
Spread out the righ shot.

Frk will be back soonish too, and what a shot.

truth, what would you do?
I think I take Amadio out and put Anderson at center

 

[Lt Dan]

I guess this is the best place for this




FSW will be renamed Ballys Sports West and Prime Ticket will be Bally's Sports So Cal


No word if they will actually now try to negotiate in good faith with YTTV, Hulu, Sling, Etc

Will the fox sports app (foxsportsgo) still work (as it currently does if you have the channel via a cable/satellite) system?

Is fox no longer involved in the regional sports business?

Answering your questions backwards

Disney bought Fox

Disney was forced to sell the RSNs because of worries of a monopoly in Sports

Sinclair bought them and has been asking for the moon from streaming companies and have been dropped from most


It would be in Sinclair's best interest to still have things like the app working, but who knows with that company

Bally's like the Casino.

It another revenue stream for a company in trouble financially.
Like the NHL Honda West division

The Kings and Ducks should bust these out at least once a year.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Since we're on the subject of streaming the games: Does anyone use ESPN+ to watch them? Somewhat oddly, our house's AT&T TV service doesn't have FSW, but my Verizon cellphone plan does include ESPN+, and supposedly ESPN+ carries the games <??>

ESPN+ only has a couple games per week, the next Kings game on ESPN+ is February 16th.

Easiest thing to do is just buy the NHL.tv single team package.

And if you're in-market, get a VPN for a few bucks a month.

Your AT&T Service doesn't have FSW?? Mine does

I guess the next question is which AT&T service do you have? I have AT&T TV, formerly AT&T Now

They can bust them out as long as they don’t wear them in any games. As you can tell, I’m not a fan of either jersey.

I recall a few years back a section of fans showed up to Staples Center all wearing those monstrosities. Bob Miller used to bemoan during broadcasts how impossible it was to read the sweater numbers on those uniforms.

Thanks; this is good to know.

Same, I think; it's the AT&T TV service that Frontier now provides to new subscribers, instead of FIOS TV. Guess we just got set up with a "bad" package...

Give them a call and see about bumping up a tier
I get the Kings and the Dodgers channel now

I'll send you a PM with my plan name and shit

 

[YP44]

i am out of LA market and NHL.tv is the way for me. I split with two buddies so is very reasonable

Or if you don't wanna pay these bozos. Go on reddit, download the app made by the users of reddit. And stream all nhl games for free at 720p60. If you're a little tech savvy it's relatively easy.

Sinclair owns the broadcasting now? ugh.. They're awful.

They have owned them since Aug 23, 2019

Other than the carriage problems, I honestly haven't noticed much of a difference

I guess it depends on how much influence they have over the production. There have been some pretty stupid intermission segments the last few seasons.
