The Dallas Stars have left TV and are going all-in on free in-market streaming
As teams try to figure out the new regional sports network world, Dallas is going bold.

Obviously never happening here, but this is going to be fascinating to watch play out.

They watch their mediocre prospects in camp dominate against their shitty prospects. That gives them the illusion that the mediocre prospects are actually special.

That's awesome! Should be the way all teams move towards the future. I'm surprised it's free but they will make all of the money for advertising themselves now. I hope it's a huge success and more teams, both in the NHL and other sports consider it.The Dallas Stars have left TV and are going all-in on free in-market streaming

I think games streamed on ESPN+ and the like have been failures mainly because there is a subscription needed to watch it and games aren't consistent enough on it to make the purchase worth it. If the flyers had this with a subscription service even with them being terrible I'd pay and watch happily. As it stands I'll continue just pirating their streams until a viable option is created.
Man, I really like Dallas.
They draft well, play a fun style, and take risks. Just an awesome organization.

ESPN+ is like no more than $10 a month and you get every single hockey game, plus a whole bunch of other content. If you like hockey, that one should be a no brainer

I had it last year. There were several games that weren’t shown on ESPN +

Don't local blackout rules apply? They do for all the other streaming things

Yes they apply. Games on TNT and TBS cannot be watched either. Games on ESPN cannot be seen unless you have a cable subscription.

To be fair, it already basically does happen here.
Comcast pockets the advertising money. No different than the Stars being able to pocket what ads they bring in with this new plan.
I feel like the Flyers will be the last team to do something like this.
Yea that's what I thought. So if I'm in the market, and don't have cable I have no way to watch unless I stream it illegally.

You can run a vpn and change your IP to out of the area, but you need a bit of savvy if you want to do that on your TV and not just a computer.

They own RSN’s in other markets too, and will definitely be among the last, but if they saw it as valuable, they’d be trying to get in some of these rights, and they’re not.
Sure. But I can also just go to a site that must not be named, pick any one of a dozen streams and throw it up on the TV via Chromecast without paying anything. That doesn't change if there's a legit streaming service I can use, but the convenience of it along with supporting a team I actually give a shit about would be worth it for me to do it. But without any other options they just lose out.
Don't care if his stats suck. Get him over here. I need it.

Are there any good free agents left? Sprong (43) and JVR (38) had the most of the remaining guys (not counting Pavelski).
If the Flyers traded Laughton, they could sign Cousins to replace him. More likely they have their eyes on Clutterbuck and Matt Martin.
