Is the ESPN+ feed of Oilers/Jets choppy as hell or is it my internet?! It's unwatchable at the moment and I never had this issue at all last year.

I dont think we'll see a sportsnet promo code until a month or so passes by . It would be a slap in the face to those who have just renewed at 249.99 . I did receive an email from Sporsnet on Monday hoping for one but it was just a general announcement that the season is starting with of course links to sign up for 249.99
That's why I left. I didn't get the promo code last year and I had auto renew on and they would adjust for me. So I left this year.

As an international NHL.TV subscriber I'm finding the ESPN(+?) broadcast a little weird. So you get the game with commentary but just a wideshot of the arena during ad breaks. I'm fine with it, beats actual ads, it's just a bit odd. And you get the occasional out of broadcast comment or unfinished graphic.

I know ESPN is doing their Frozen Frenzy in a few weeks, but why can't the US have access to this Amazon Prime show. I feel like the US Audience should get more than they actually do, and the whole NHL Network thing still sucks.

Reminder that the NHL Network in Canada had “NHL on the Fly” with live look ins literally more than 2 decades ago. That’s where we are now in this exciting and innovative hockey media landscape.

How was the coverage otherwise ? I would love to watch something like that on nights when the Bruins aren’t playing . I’m going to watch the show this Thursday.

I dont have sn+ yet so it was nice to watch some hockey .At times they have 4 games going on a split screen but I preferred when they'd just go full screen for a few minutes then move to another game for a few minutes etc.

Anyone know why the New Jersey- Washington game isn't available on Bell Centre Ice in Canada. I would assume they would have both feeds available to deliver to paying customers. Incompetence on Bell's part or possibly on the league?

if its on sn360 or sn1 it will be blacked out because its being carried nationally .

when I had center ice with bell this was my biggest pet peeve .

you need to upgrade your sports pack to include 360 and sn1 or else it will happen all season

Bell never had both feeds when I used them for center ice for 20 years . This is my 4th season away from that platform however so idk if things changed .

So this is a Bell Canada problem... thank you for the info...
it depends , have you figured out if sn1 or sn 360 aired the game ? If I had to guess , probably sn 360 .

also , do you have sn1 and sn 360 or just regional sn and tsn.

unrelated , but I noticed while doing some searching that theres still an nhl app so I downloaded it to my Roku . The condensed game highlights are available there from previous days action so that was nice to find instead of looking for them on nhl's youtube channel .

Centre ice on Bell, doesn’t have both feeds, I don’t think anyone does both feeds anymore, in any country. Last was the US. Last time Bell had both feeds was 15-20 years ago.

I doubt it is bells fault, if it actually happened, as I don’t know which channel numbers you checked on Bell listings.
I had centre ice for 20 years with Bell, and and only had an issue once in a pre season game.

Also do you get all 6 Sportsnet channels in your package
