This has been going on for a couple of weeks already. I try to watch any highlight on nhl.com, whether it's a 5 minute recap or just a clip of a single goal, it will just load for several seconds and then show this message. Is this a me problem or someone else having the same issue? I've tried on other devices and browsers too and keep having the same result.

Why don't you use DTMTS (dont tell me the score) like normal people?

Granted, there's some greyed out links there too, quite a lot this season to be honest, but just use youtube for those
Two reasons, I would say

1. DTMTS uses the offcial NHL account's 10-minute recaps that have proven to me to be trash on occasion. Sportsnet has better ones when I do want to watch longer, spoiler-free recaps and am able to save myself from spoilers by just looking for the right thumbnail on their YouTube account. Sportsnet also shows the fights which I am not particularly looking forward to watching per se but I do think they are important to see to know what the flow of the game was and if it got heated.

2. I absolutely do not have the time and energy to watch 10-minute recaps of every single game so I watch the few that I want on Sportsnet account on YouTube but for the rest of them, I go to NHL.com to look at the game results and player stats. If I see something interesting has happened, some player I like has scored in a game that doesn't interest me super much otherwise, I can just watch the highlight of that single goal without having to go back to YouTube (or DTMTS, if you will) to look for a 15-second clip of that 10-minute video.

Same problem since this season start. Usually videos did start somehow on 2nd or 3rd try, but right now I just cant get it working.
