Sorry I can imagine a world where people don’t rely on tweets (especially one that was a reply to the main one) and they go to the website to see some sort of landing page with info on their own game. Crazy thought, I know.

I don't know the number of people who are both interested in watching Sharks' preseason and are neither on twitter nor HF, but I have to imagine it's in the single digits.

To be clear, you're absolutely right that they should have a post for it, I just don't agree with not doing it being "incompetent" or that this is a huge marketing opportunity the Sharks are fumbling.

That’s fair. I just see this season being special, and with Macklin playing in his first pro game tonight, albeit pre-season, I’d figure they’d want to cover all their bases. Relying on external communication channels like X, which is controversial these days with a lot of Bay Area folk (not me - I’m not partisan) seems odd. I’ve been heavily involved with product marketing over my years, and it’s a common/best practice to advertise your product directly on your own platform—especially when it’s an event. There’s going to be a page for the link, there’s little reason I can fathom to not publish that, or some signpost, ASAP with clear instructions that the stream link will come soon.

I kinda agree. I was curious how the Knights website dealt with it and they have posts regarding their entire preseason schedule and a whole "how to" watch it post even though it's not streaming there. The Sharks website is kinda lacking in so many ways.
