The leafs on Prime Monday night

It's 6 games this year on Prime.

Then 12 next year

Then 16 the following year with another 4 Saturday nights

Then 30 the following year with more than half of Saturday nights





...you get the picture
 
crowd may have been louder because my friend Bob was there. We call him Foghorn Leghorn
 
The more I think about it the more I'm convinced the NHL should just stream the games themselves on NHL.com.
They did, they had nhl.tv then killed it. Best time I ever had watching NHL regular season games was while living in Australia. $72/year for nhl.tv. 4k streaming @ 60 fps with a Chromecast, better quality than anything Robbers or Bellends ever give with their $100/month ultra HD packages. You could pause, fast forward, and rewind. I'd start a game at 8:30-9AM, skip all the ads and intermissions and be done watching in an hour and head off to work.
 
Other than the fact that they seem to purposely say "haawkey", it was great. They actually featured the Leafs, had the sound mixing right, and built up excitement. Not like Sportsnets sleepy broadcast where the newest thing they can come up with is trying another side camera angle on 4 Rogers employees sitting around tables of various shapes, being forced to have a discussion.

Having a set in the concourse is much better.

PBP was decent, room for improvement
 
I just signed up and then cancelled.

Apparently you can keep doing it every month too if you want. It kinda reminds me of how I used to steal cable from Rogers as a kid. So I don't have any qualms about watching a hockey game for free courtesy of one of the richest people on the planet.

Screw you Amazon.
 
Prime has the best picture quality I have ever seen for a hockey broadcast, you will like it.
The HDR was nice but for me there was were too many compression artifacts for example the net mesh.

How to cancel Amazon Prime: Can I get another free trial?​

Amazon customers are only eligible for one free trial of Prime every 12 months. That means if you cancel your membership, and decide to give Amazon Prime another try, you'll have to immediately start with the paid membership rather than kicking things off with another trial period.

If it's more than a year later when you decide you want use Amazon Prime again, you'll have the option to try the service out again through a 30-day trial before you'll need to pay for a membership.
 
Was a big succes I imagine. Anyone have viewership numbers?
 
It was nice having a broadcast that didn’t feel the need to pander to morons and be as anti-Toronto as possible.

At one point in the 2nd period, the Amazon crew said the Leafs "seem like they have a reall good locker room. A good group of guys".

Almost unbelievably, they didn't spontaneously combust. They didn't get Thanos'd. Their mouths didn't get Neo'd in the Matrix.

Sportsnet in particular should try occasionally saying a few nice things about them - they'll be surprised at how little consequence there will be for doing such a wild and uncomfortable thing
