Khudobin. Didn't we claim him?

Only if @rangers1314 had gotten his way.

lol first thing that I thought of as well the second I saw it.

Yeah looks like hes about to spout into a Tarantino diatribe

Hulu typically has the games listed in the first 3-4 rows so it's pretty easy to find once you're there. It's quite frustrating to have to use an app when paying so much for cable though.

And then these companies wonder why people pirate/stream illegally

Yup....they always get greedy .

 

[Ruggs225]

I cut the cord, but now have Netflix, Prime, Fubo, Disney, Hulu, and ESPN+. The latter three we get “free” thanks to our Verizon Wireless plan, but still. I can probably bear to get rid of Netflix and Prime.

how is fubo?

was looking at it today. Which plan did u get? Verizon Fios is becoming expensive as heck to watch stuff.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I might be one of the few guys here who hopes Libor gets a good look here. I like his skill set and size, if he could put it together it would be nice. Liked his last game.

From the NHL.TV Subscription thread, which I recommend the mods to sticky. There's gonna be 2 more of these, against the Panthers in February and Pens in April.

But I do recall that the post-Thanksgiving game against the Bruins was on ABC. So these listings are subject to change?

 

[leetch99]

Does that mean we get the clowns who covered /called the last game Bruins/Rangers ? If so...that would be enough of a reason to avoid it .

That game was also available on ESPN+, but we got switched to the ABC slot because the NHL didn't want to air the Blackhawks on network TV so close to the fallout from the Beach stuff.

Anything on ABC should also be on ESPN+ though.

 

[Crease]

how is fubo?

was looking at it today. Which plan did u get? Verizon Fios is becoming expensive as heck to watch stuff.

I like Fubo. I got the basic package for like $65 a month. With a billing address in the New York Metro Area, it comes with MSG and SNY. No YES though.

Thanks. That's good to know the reason why we ended up on ABC.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I have ESPN+ but they make it hard as f*** to play it on my TV. I hate watching games on my phone. Especially when I can be watching it on my 65 inch. We are all pawns in the big game of broadcasting rights.

 

[nyr2k2]

Anyone know what the streaming delay is like compared to cable? Are we going to be a minute plus behind what’s actually happening or 15-20 seconds like cable?

I get ESPN+ with my Verizon Unlimited plan so I don’t pay extra but it is worth it for out of market games alone for their price. I understand why everyone’s upset though but one positive is that the video quality will be way better than cable on the TV and hopefully there’s no audio issues like MSG consistently has.

I don't generally partake in the GDTs so it's hard to truly gauge, but when I do check in on the thread it appears I'm right there with those individuals who are watching on actual cable. It doesn't seem like there's a delay. In fact there have been a few instances where it seems like I'm actually a little bit ahead of the cable viewers--like 2-3 seconds or so. I think it's all pretty close. If there's any lag I don't think it's enough to be noticeable.

Earlier in the year I know some of us had occasional audio sync issues with the ESPN+ streams but that hasn't been an issue with me for probably a month now.

EDIT: I remember talking on the phone with my dad the year the Jets lost to San Diego in the playoffs and Brien missed those kicks. I was I guess 2 seconds ahead of him because on the second I'm watching and I go, "Oh f***, no no no...he missed it again!" And my dad is like what he hasn't kicked it yet! LOL.

Thats the sny and mag are the highlights for me. That is the only reason i didnt ditch cable.

We barely watch live tv anyway. Usually netflix or disney plus.

and now I have hulu and peacock is free for the basic option.

This might cause me to pull the trigger and ditch cable.

Thank you

That's movie-like lighting.

In a world where fans of a team with a 18-6-3 record regularly bitch on a popular message board, one man stands for patience...

"We'll take it one game at a time. We'll see where it goes."

For progress...

"We just gotta clean that up a little bit."

For accountability...

"Sometimes, you gotta make a point."

He is...

And it has Family Guy and King of the Hill full series if you're into that. Plus It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The League, Fargo, American Horror/Crime Stories and other FX shows.

Also the miniseries Dopesick on Hulu was really good. They have a decent catalogue over there.

The FX stuff on Hulu is pretty good. What We Do in the Shadows is one of my favorites. Their original stuff can be good too. I've heard good things about Dopesick, but I'd personally rather not watch after losing some people to opioids. I enjoyed Only Murders in the Building, and they made a surprisingly good movie where Andy Samberg was caught in a time loop around the day of his girlfriend's friend's wedding.

 

[TriFF51]

So I was able to watch that Bruins game on the ESPN app...was that like a free game of the day thing or will I possibly be able to catch tonight's game on there as well? This sucks.

 

[Kodiak]

So to answer your question. This is for ESPN+: I found it acts differently on different streaming platforms (ie Android TV vs Roku vs PC, etc.) If I'm remembering right, Roku you could pause at the beginning of stream and then wait and then press play. You can fast forward at differing speeds with multi button presses. Pretty standard and works well. I know that androidTV, you won't be able to pause because the TV will go into screensaver mode and once you press play again, the stream re-loads to real-time.

Best bet, and what I do, is start the stream on mute, preferably between periods, shield your eyes from possible spoilers and just hit the rewind button (a couple times to fastest rewind speed) so it goes back to beginning and go from there.

Worst thing about the changeover from NHL.tv to ESPN+ was the loss of 'start from beginning' option.

I learned that lesson the hard way. What are the odds that in the half-second between the time I start the stream and I press rewind that I could hear Sam announce the score? Well, not low enough because it happened.

Imagine being a Ranger fan in Canada

I haven't looked yet, but I have NHL Live...are we screwed on getting this game tonight?

I have Fubo and like it but it sucks there's no TNT/TBS for those games.
