Around the league 2022-23

[Terry Yake]

Stutzle has 49 points in 46 games.
Byfield has 9 points in 24 games.

still too soon to give up on byfield. but i'm sure there are many kings fans wishing they had taken stutzle instead

The demise of NHL.tv sucks. Hard to track and understand when and where I can find the games.

Byfield is still only 20 years old. Let us see how he is playing when he is 22/23. If he is still performing at the same level as he is now he will be a great disappointment as a #2 draft choice.

As someone who can just pull up the Viaplay app on any device and pick a game from up to past 3 days easilly for 10€ a month, your experience sounds horrible guys. No reason for it to be like that. I guess the NHL trying to keep the league an old boys club even for viewership as nobody can "get in"

 

[AngelDuck]

The only reason I can watch the games is due to being out of market in NYC so I can watch them on ESPN+.

No one wants to pay for cable anymore

ESPN+ has been great. Can choose the broadcast. I actually get the triple package (Disney+. Hulu, and ESPN+) for free with my Verizon Fios service.

I only get blocked out when they are playing the Rangers, Islanders, or Devils.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

NHL ratings down 20% or something.

I would like to compare that figure to pre-covid era, that would be a better indication.

What do lip readers say about the viewership being down

How can viewership be down when that one guy watches every minute Stecher plays?!?!?

 

[pbgoalie]

If you’re just reading lips, are you really watching the game?

WHAT!? Viaplay is 10€ per month there!?!?!?!?!?!

Yes and this is only the 2nd month I'm paying. Before I had 1,5 years free as some super duper market entry promotion deal as a cable owner (25€ including 500mb/s internet). They were luring their users away, ha. And I won a MA Fleury signed puck from them on a Facebook promotion

How much is it in Finland?

Costs 40€ here. Includes a bunch of stuff nobody cares about, like football.

EDIT: In the past, they (Viaplay) allowed you the option of using NHL.tv as well, and you could choose which broadcast you wanted to listen to regardless if it was a home or an away game. Ah, the good old days.

Yeah, I think I've never watched there anything else other than NHL on there

From sports, at least. We started to watch Office and Parcs & Rec there only because wanted to ''use the benefits'', lol. Office was also on Netflix where the UX is 100x better, but through pain we got through it The whole Office.

 

[Frosted Tips]

Back in the days of NHL.tv I paid it in full and VPN on top of that. I don't remember how much Viaplay was back then but I remember it costing a lot more.

NHL.tv, global availability, make it happen already. I'm not paying these other crooks.

I was paying NHL.tv as well, I think it was 120 a year

San Jose has traded Jaycob Megna to Seattle for a fourth round draft choice. That is a value point to consider for the trade of any of the Ducks players.

I'm considering signing up for Latvian Viaplay, I found a website that sells Latvian mastercards in €10.00 and €25.00 segments. Do you know if the €9.99 price includes tax? I don't want to buy the €10.00 card and be short the taxes, lol.

That's interesting, lol, I hope it will work (idk, never thought about these kind of things)

It's tax included. Generally, we refer to everything with tax included, unless it's very B2B-transactionish where it's just usually indicated.

Thanks so much! I'll report back here if it works! Luckily my VPN has a Latvian option.

Edit: sadly the sites I've tried so far require a Latvian phone number, will keep trying.

Will your card work if your billing address isn't in Latvia? I used to buy Eurosportplayer (usually from Ireland but also England) from the US and use a VPN but then they stopped accepting my card because my billing address wasn't in the same country I was using to sign up, even though the VPN said I was.

I tried my personal cards and they wouldn't work sadly.

Edit: I also had my VPN set to Latvia.

That sounds like what happened to me. And some of the events I wanted to watch weren't even available in the US at all. Of course some were but I cut the cord some years back. I'm willing to pay to watch but not get screwed. I used NHL.tv with a VPN for a couple of years.

The Ducks drafted that Megna with a 7th round pick in 2012, too bad its not the Ducks making that trade to get a 4th. Then Package up some 4ths to get another 3rd

Mine is already registered, ha. But maybe I can get you one, I think new numbers costs a couple of EUR.

I don't know why but "that Megna" made me laugh.
