Neil Peart was amazing. He will leave a big void. I am privileged to have seen them several times in their heyday.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, please move if not.
I am considering cutting the cord and while I am tech savvy need advice on how to get Devs games as part of the cut! What has been the good/bad experiences everyone has had? Thx in advance.

Unfortunately, there's no straightforward legal ways to do it if you live in-market. Center Ice et al blackout local games. MSG Go requires a cable subscription. I'm very tech savvy (It's my job lol) and to me, even, it's more trouble than it's worth.

If you don't mind watching on a computer, there's tons of quasi-legal / illegal places to stream games from for free, but quality and availability will be very suspect. You could connect your TV to said computer, but the quality on those places will likely be even worse on the TV.

Another quasi-legal solution (You won't get arrested but the provider might get pissed) is to set up a VPN for your house, and basically trick them into thinking you're out of market.

Live sports and commercials are basically the reason cable, as it is, is surviving. While most of the other major sports are starting to catch on (Free weekly games through various apps and sites, etc.), the NHL is among the major sports that hasn't made a move towards it yet.

I'm moderately tech savvy and none of this is accurate.

It is sooo soo easy to watch high quality nhl games without cable on your computer

Admittedly, I haven't had to do this regularly in a few years since I have cable, but have the free illegal streams really gotten that much better?

r/NHLStreams wasn't bad but recently got the banhammer so I am completely out of date on the wheres and hows to find good streams.

There's nothing illegal about it (live events) on our end so long as you're not broadcasting it to an audience - ie a bar, etc. And with minimal digging hi def options are out there in abundance for every sport. Movies and previously aired television shows can be a somewhat gray area I believe.

Although I almost wish the NHL games were of low quality. At least then maybe I could convince myself that the on ice 'performance' of this team isn't the abject disaster that it is.

Yup.

Theres more than enough users there who are willing to steer a lady or gent in the right direction.

Ditto. I was in FL over Christmas & specifically brought my tablet & Chromecast for this when I realized nothing was showing on reddit streams.

THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Darkauron]

in before the comments are deleted because we cant talk about this stuff :^)

 

[MartyOwns]

i’m never in this thread, but did anyone watch the new Curb episode? was it good? i have it on my dvr, no spoilers please.

that show hasn’t dipped in quality at all...but it won’t be the same without the funkman

Man, maybe it's my Chromecast but when I tried streaming from MSG Go it was terrible - choppy, laggy, just barely watchable.

MSG Go worked very well on my computer, though.

A few months back, Tom Morello was playing a small gig here and I told my coworker how Rage Against the Machine was near the top of my list of bands I wish I had seen perform. Then a couple days later they announced a reunion tour. The tour dates were officially announced on Monday, but no local show for me here; They're playing a pair of shows at Coachella but I'd rather not see them there as that festival tends to attract people I wouldn't want to be around.

I could possibly intercept them in Minneapolis in May. I had a ballpark trip mapped out with a buddy and they're playing there a day after we were planning watching the Twins. But my friend has no interest, so it might be a tough sell to stay an extra night. Or I could just do a 4 day weekend in NYC in August and catch them at MSG. I usually prefer to save my annual East Coast trip for October to watch some Devils games though.

And and and they're touring with Run The Jewels. Teenage me and adult me are, for once, in heaven together.

That's a tough call - Coachella or NYC if Minny is out of the question.

I think the garden is a particularly terrible venue for a concert (or just about anything really), but if you don't live here a trip to NYC isn't often ill advised so long as you plan well.

Coachella's a tough one for me. Had I never been I would say it's a no brainer, but since it's checked off my bucket list I wouldn't entertain the idea. It's a spectacle and you'll get at least a few stories out of it. I also love socal and that lineup top to bottom is especially killer this year. Besides Rage, Frank Ocean and Thom Yorke alone are worth the price of admission.

The actual people in the crowds are a wash for me. But at least you can get away from any nonsense and find your people at a festival.

....and tickets went on sale this morning. Checked for the Portland and NYC shows and it's $500+ for lower bowl for the limited seats left. I guess I'll wait and see if the secondary market calms down over the next few months.

Those were the charity tickets, 10% of the arena were high priced tickets that went to charity. The rest of the buildings are $125 a ticket no matter where you get a ticket... Which is great if you're close but horrendous if you're all the way in the last row of a building.

I'm not that into them so I didn't bother getting tickets, I'll wait and see if stubhub prices drop but I don't care if I miss it since I'm really not into large arenas shows. I'd much rather have spent more money to see them in a venue like Hammerstein but that was never happening.

 

[Brodeur]

Ah, I was late to the boat to look up tickets since I realistically can't commit since it'd require plane travel for me. I can hold out hope that they'd add a San Diego show between Coachella weekends but that's a long shot.

 

[Brodeur]

RATM added a couple more NYC shows (and other assorted dates) to their tour. I immediately regret it, but I bought myself a ticket for the August 14th show at MSG.

Honestly, when it was announced that there was going to be a Code Geass OVA that occurred after the events of the end of season 2, I was pissed. I thought the series ended perfectly and nothing else was necessary. While I stand by that statement, I freaking loved Lelouch of the Resurrection. It was great. And now we are set up for a new series with C.C. and L.L.

 

[Billdo]

Hunters on Amazon is really good after 1 episode.

The new season of peaky blinders was everything I could hope for

I really enjoyed it as well.



Anyone gonna be going to the MCR reunion?

 

[Billdo]

I really enjoyed it as well.

Did you do the entire series already? I watched the first episode Friday, hope to get it done over the next week or so.
