How are you watching NHL hockey in 2022-23?

[Lauro]

After some years using nhl.tv we now have some blackout restrictions in Germany and Austria so I have to move back to other streams.

 

[landshark]

I have cable and DVR. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for content AND have to sit through endless commercials. Can we just get something like AHLtv already? damn. I'd cut the cord if I could watch Sharks after they already start/next day because I'm busy. ESPN+ can f*** right off with their excluse games once a month, their ill timed audio to video, and of course Leah Hextall is the worst.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Not watching it.

82 games is too long.

RS is also meaningless.

PO is all that matters.

 

[Salsa Shark]

Cable but in the NY metro I get Devils, Islanders and Rangers broadcasts so that's a plus.

 

[Ruggs225]

None of the above… using a legal streaming service. Fubo

 

[LarKing]

Streaming sadly. If there was a high quality service out there that actually let me watch the games I pay for, I would do that in a heartbeat. Until then, nhl won’t get a dime off me for watching their games.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I’m sailing the high seas most of the time.

hulu/espn + with another game streaming usually

 

[I am not exposed]

Yahoo fantasy hockey...

 

[Machinehead]

The Rangers have their own network, sort of.

I also listen on the radio quite a bit because I'm a busy guy sometimes.

Was ESPN+, now pirating. I'll go back to ESPN+ when they stop the moving ads on the boards. And if they don't, I'll just continue to save money indefinitely.

Nice try, Ian Scott.

Yup, OP's been undercover here for 15 years and 17k posts and now he finally made his move.

True devotion to his job

 

[Gurglesons]

ESPN + which I pay for via Disney Bundle.

Youtube.TV via my parents.

And illegal streams if neither of those work.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

If there was a legal service available to Australians to watch archived NHL games I would be happy to pay for it. But NHL doesn't appear to be interested in growing the game globally so I'm forced into an alternative method.

 

[Puckstuff]

I left Canada in 2021 and moved to Thailand so I use NHL.TV. It's great only $14.99, no blackouts.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

ESPN+.

Hockey is my favorite sport and the Islanders are my favorite sports team. It's worth a hundred dollars plus some change to be able to watch a nice, clean stream without any ads popping up about how there's hot blonde women in n my city wanting to have sex with me or having the steam service bow out halfway through.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

My dad and I would split Live/Gamecenter/NHLTV or whatever for years. I spent a month using Sportsnet Now and got my money back. Just glitchy, menu was trash, quality would degrade, and constantly buffering.

How are these products getting worse AND more expensive?

 

[Cianide]

Illegal streams and VPN folks.

 

[Eco]

ESPN+

I don't live in an NHL city, therefore their aren't any blackouts that I am aware of. I don't like Canes or Preds either so I'm not sure I'd know if they were blacked out.

With that being said, I already have ESPN+ for college football, so adding the NHL has certainly helped me out greatly, as I was paying for Center Ice. Don't really like illegal streams as they aren't consistent, and it's why our viewership numbers are so low.

 

[Ladyfan]

In person for home games.

On NESN or whatever channel is showing the game for away games.

I hava XFINITY cable

 

[ole ole]

Use to watch it on NHL66 which was a free legal stream for all games but it's been down this season so far .
Now just what i get on TV.
