Once again, the motherf***ing app doesn't carry the draft lottery for us paying NHL.tv subscribers.

I have to say that asking Dave Jackson what he thinks of a referees decision might be the worst thing that ever happened to hockey on television.

When will the NHL allow streaming services like YouTube TV to have NHL Network? Literally every other sport and conferences in n college sports are on there. Gary is brain dead.

As a YouTube TV subscriber, I would love to see the NHL Network on the service. However, it is currently available on the Sling TV and Fubo TV Elite streaming services. Fubo is more expensive than YouTube TV($85/mo vs. $73/mo), and Sling is missing some channels we watch, so I gave up the NHL Network when I dumped Comcast cable.

I mean, it is not on Youtube TV, Directv streaming or Hulu. NHL needs to wake up and get with the demographic not using cable lol!

Still wondering why the NHL makes a big deal about going back on ESPN, and ESPN+ makes a big deal about saying they cover all out of market games...and then ESPN+ covers none of the playoffs.
Put your sport across the entire platform available. Y'know, to get people to watch it.

Seems every other league, tennis, golf have a channel. The only major sport without one is the NHL and that is on ALL streaming platforms. That is a problem getting in front of the demo you want that has the chord cut boomer.
Cutting the cord is more control. I mean, if you want 600 channels of Golden Girls reruns then by all means keep cable/Directv. Seems to keep you happy.
I didn't "cut the cord" to save anything, but because I refuse to use outdated technology and services, such as cable TV – a ghost from the 1990s.
Actually, I didn't cut the cord in any sense whatsoever, because I have an optical Internet line running to my home via a cable, so what the hell does that silly phrase even mean.

Uh, every playoff game was on ESPN or TNT cable channels. Not sure why you'd expect them to be on ESPN+ when that's a much cheaper option(to watch out of market games). It's pretty self explanatory why the playoff games wouldn't be on ESPN+.

Oh, I know why they want to gouge people for every cent they can. Doesn't mean I'm going to bend to their greed.
They can either get with the 21st century and put games on a reasonable platform, or I'll continue to find ways to watch games for free.

Option 1 is to put at bare minimum the Cup Finals on broadcast television. The NFL and NBA do it every year and I don't hear them crying over lost revenue. They have their own Fort Knox in ad revenue because half the televisions on earth can watch their program.
Option 2 would be streaming. Pick any of ESPN+ / Hulu / Amazon / whatever. The entire concept and cost structure of basic cable is unnecessary and grossly outdated.

It is on broadcast television TBS, or do you mean, something you can pick up by antenna.
Streaming numbers are still behind cable. Friend is streaming, chose between Sling and Hulu, there were other options, but went with Sling orange for playoffs. ( cheapest)
Doesn’t sound like you actually looked into it, as Hulu was one of your suggestions, and it’s on Hulu.

1) Antenna.
2) It's on Hulu Live, the premium version, not the standard Hulu.
The point is that something like a championship game/series on sports should be readily available to everybody, not locked behind a significant paywall like cable or a premium package.
They're free to disagree and strongarm people into paying a hefty monthly fee to watch their sport.
In the absence of a system I think is worth paying for, I'm free to find ways to just watch it for free or not watch it at all.

Yep. Which isn't worth it to me for a single channel of interest.
They could sell the channel a la carte for $10-$20 per month and it would be fine to just do it for the playoffs. But it's dumb to continue to ask consumers to bundle it with things they don't want or need.
Currently all 3 streams are down (US, Canadian, French) in the NHL.tv app at the start of period 2 of Game 5 of Stanley Cup finals. Nice!

Wow great demand for the product. I’m watching live, and it’s in first intermission. Is that the AI stream.

Not just the final 30 seconds. Neither the final goal of the game was shown for me on NHL.tv, nor the final seconds of the game with the celebration.
On none of the 3 streams. Neither live, nor when trying to rewind.
The streams kept crashing throughout the game.
In the final minutes of the game, the app kept logging me off. After switching to a different device, the same thing was happening.
This is not a service you want to pay for. Remember that for next season.

I still complain about the horrible image quality from all feeds except Bally Sports and ESPN. TNT, SportsNet, etc. all were blurry. Sportsnet even looked sub 720p and all these feeds seem to be 30fps interpolerated to 60fps which added a lot of motion blur.
And this is in the year 2023 when we should be discussing 4k and 120fps on streaming services. Yet the NHL isn't able to put 720p with 60fps on. Pathetic especially since it worked flawlessly the last years.
