Request this be kept up for a week [next Sun] then ok to del.

We know the 1st day of the draft is Fri nite on NBCSN, but it only covers round 1.

I am not aware of any televised coverage in NYC for next day Sat, rounds 2 -.

Guess it might be on the web, but that's a fallback position.

Anyone know of any coverage?
Anyone know any pub, etc, which will televise the draft?

Thanks in advance.

Guess I'm out of luck for day 2. My new FiOS plan includes the MLB network and NFL network, but sadly not NHLN.

NHL Network. Perhaps Flying Puck or one of those kinda places will televise it?

Good to know. When my 2 year contract comes up next summer I will consider dropping cable. The problem is even being a "cord cutter" you still need internet, and that's not much of a discount off the double/triple play packages these days. I am curious about the new internet TV package that includes MSG HD. That's the one thing holding me back from going IPTV only.

Yeah I think that's Fubo TV and curenrly The only one offering it

They're the one with the dumb "have MSG" "no, no msg here" commercial in the Chinese restaurant

Yup, that's the one. I'd like to try it out. Thing is I rarely watch NYR games live. I DVR them and start watching an hour (or more) later so I can zip through the TV timeouts and such. Not sure if Fubo offers that functionality.

EDIT: Looks like they offer a DVR function:

CLOUD DVR

Can’t watch the game live? Record it with a tap. fuboTV includes 30 hours of Cloud DVR space. Want more? Upgrade to 500 hours.

72-HOUR LOOKBACK

Forgot to hit record? You can replay nearly any game, show or movie that aired in the last 3 days.


Only issue I see is they charge $45/month. If I add that to my internet bill I'm well over $100. I'm only paying another $40 now. Anyway, I might try it out to see how it works.

thanks and fyi
Spectrum [certain in Manhattan, may apply elsewhere] is currently required to give decent wifi for $15/month. More I think if you rent a cable modem w/router from them but you defeat that with a 1x investment of $150-200 at B&H. Get something w/great throughput, that is key.

Then Amazon's firestick is 1x $40ish.
They do not charge further but collect on behalf of packages you accept.
Finally Sony's Playstation has package for $45 w/not EVERYTHING but nearly, lots of good stuff including Turner Classic Movies. If ya want HBO, Showtime, reasonable +s.

But the problem is no MSG.
We need to press NHL offices to demand an end to restrictions, what they are doing by not allowing [apparently] Dolan to sell MSG as a streaming app is arguably what appears to be restraint of trade, anti-competition, anti-consumer, and I don't see how that can be legal.

It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
That said, we are hearing they are talking about 2OA w/Canes and I have been mentioning that for over a month now.

However, the newbies are too fresh to be considered at this point, methinks.
Catch and release, throw back for later. lol
 
reddit.com/r/nhlstreams bro

Like as a last ditch thing they’ll always have the draft or a game on some kind of sketchy hockey-news-ads.tr kind of site

(reddit besides this kind of stuff is not actually good)

Remember, skill fades away, but draft position lasts forever!

I pay $39.99/mo for Optimum 100 and then $35.00/mo for DirecTV now with MSG HD. It's cheaper than going the full TV box route since I'm not paying for the boxes and all.

Every so often I threaten to cancel and they reduce my $50/mo DirecTV package to $35/mo.
