Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[PROUD PAPA]

Guess i should stop being surprised how well the Flyers are playing this year.
Torts is doing a good job there.

 

[Dekes For Days]

How’s McCann doing so far?

45 point pace and getting caved in defensively for 5m.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Stephenson just got a 5 minute major for crosschecking Hathaway in the upper arm.
Not sure i've seen that before.

And the Caps have a better winning percentage than the Leafs?

That’s another one.
They’ve looked terrible when I watch them.

Sending four teams over to Sweden to grow the game and then blacking out the games to fans is next level Gary Bettman galaxy brain. What a genius that fat dracula is.

Yeap had it on the big TV on TSN 4 with pregame showing as soon as puck is about to drop. Black out in effect and I’m like this is in Sweden man I’m actually closer to it that f***ing Toronto god damn it.

I’m used it in Atlantic Canada by now though

Tampa looking like dogshit against Edmonton.

 

[Cleetus]

Tampa lol, not even sure Vasi will save em, they look awful

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Damn, Bolts might have to run Vasi into the ground for a chance to make the playoffs.

 

[Jojalu]

at least Stateside we get every game of this Sweeden Series on the NHL Network, blackouts are a joke!

Is there another sport that blackouts their teams?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

kucherov is trying to will the bolts to victory.

That puck is spinning both vertically and horizontally!

If you check the trajectory, it goes two short flaps, one longer, two short flaps and in the net

Ah the moments we had with that man...

 

[Evilhomer]

Tampa is sinking like a stone. I wonder what the excuse will be when Vasi comes back and they are still bad.

oh yes well in the states we get our local sports channel like say minnesota I will only get the Twins, Wild, and Timberwolves games, all the other games are blacked out, so thats where Extra innings, NBA League Pass and Center ice come in, that way you get all the games, they also have National broadcast for hockey on TNT, ESPN, and usually a few NHL network games during the week, so yes all sports have blackouts which in my opinion are out dated and dumb lol. the Pay TV model is a total rip off and a failure imo.... hope it changes but I doubt it.

it sadly will not. there are some merits to it for situations like growing a team base or regional rights/pricing to some extent but when you are hosting several channels and especially for something called a global series man it's a freaking joke.

I hate that I have to pay for all 5 SN and 5 TSN stations then all the games get blacked out.

On top of that, I purchased the MLB extra innings package and the Jays games were blacked out because of a Rogers deal.

I am about to lose my sh%@ and just start stealing all stations

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I thought we were bad defensively but when I look at the Oilers and kind of how weirdly the Bolts are playing damn...

Still could be better defensively though no matter what. Compare up not down

 

[Cleetus]

lmao the Oilers D is so bad 5-4 Tampa

 

[Leaf Rocket]

oh look at that...5-4 tampa....
Guess it was Campbell's fault though.

 

[Cleetus]

wonder when we will see Leaf Legend Calvin Pickard between the pipes!

 

[leafsfan5]

edmonton lmao

 

[Leaf Rocket]

wonder when we will see Leaf Legend Calvin Pickard between the pipes!
