Bruins have their NESN network App (owned by fenway sports group though) and its Bottom tier, but they charge 30$ a month for it(!!!!).
Problem is now Cable TV also tacks on charges that are for local sports networks. I think I pay 20$ a month extra on my cable to get the local sports networks.

I'd watch on my private jet/yacht as I'm traveling from one national wet t-shirt contest to the nextYou'd have too much money to be stuck at home watching hockey all the time.

Only if you swear allegiance to the Blackhawks and no other team
Ehhh... I retired last year and it gets old fast. Having a day or two off between my team's games keeps my interest level fresh enough. I wouldn't want to watch hockey all day every day for the entire season. For that same reason, while I like baseball in principle, I don't watch a lot of MLB.
Playoffs are different, but that's only a couple months long, and it's really just the first three rounds where there are games on every night, so more like six weeks of going hardcore with it.
Including the playoffs I will have watched about just shy of 200 NHL games this season (I'm counting the common occurrence of there being a 7 p.m. Bolts game followed by a 9 p.m. Utah game as 1 2/3 games since what that means is I'll watch the first two periods of the Bolts game then switch over). That's plenty for me!
Hmmmm.....
Boobs'n'Blackhawks....or Senators.....
I'm a man....as if it's even a serious quesrion between the two...

Oh I'm already retired. Just not rich enough to go to unlimited wet t-shirt contests
The Viaplay price difference between Finland and Sweden is because of UEFA champions league. If you want to watch UCL in Finland, it's on a different 43 euro a month service.

That's insane because I remember the threads last year saying how soccer was totally overtaking hockey as the 5th most popular sport and they had alllllll these new young fans.
I think the US Men's team has lost their last 4 in a row leading up to the World Cup they're hosting.

i laughed reading this, and thought the rating woes in nhl isnt really that bad
"According to John Ourand in his Puck newsletter, it’s not clear that anyone actually watched the MLS Cup Final on Apple TV+. Like, at all.
Nielsen estimates Apple TV+’s viewership total during the MLS Cup Final averaged out to 287,000 viewers in real time. Compared to the previous Saturday in the same timeslot, Apple had 222,000 viewers. Do the math and you can estimate that only about 65,000 viewers were watching the MLS Cup Final on Apple streaming. In fact, Apple TV+ viewership exploded after the final was done when total viewership increased to 385,000."
I mean, I don't doubt that soccer is growing quite well in popularity in the United States, it's just that the MLS is a second-rate league that few people care about. A lot of people are watching the top European leagues and competitions instead. So the sport itself is popular enough, but not the MLS specifically.
I would wager that if MLS said screw it and spent millions upon millions of dollars for the best players in the world, MLS' popularity would skyrocket and come.close to the NHL, especially with the younger demographic.
The teams may not have the history but if people knew they were watching all of the best players under one roof ( so ton speak) they'd get the eyeballs.

Every professional league NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA should have their own streaming service. Where you can watch every game out of market game and in market games after 90 minutes of completion like amazon does for baseball. Living in Iowa and being in a blackout for multiple teams and having YouTube tv is a nightmare for watching games. In baseball can't watch the white sox, cubs, cardinals, brewers, royals or twins because you can't get regional networks or blackouts,
If you get Marquee you can only watch the game live and can't record the game so that sucks, if you have a busy schedule. But if all leagues had their own service, you could eliminate that and keep the tv right deals in place like mlb does with amazon and also show previous season games all on demand and have a bunch of regular content.

The way market areas are determined is way too heavy handed in my opinion and I think it should be restricted. With maybe a few exceptions I think it should be illegal for more than one team to claim an area as “in market” like you’ve got going on for yourself in Iowa. If the whole damn state doesn’t even have a team then it should not be allowed to claim it at all. But one example I’d be okay with is the two New York teams and New Jersey claiming New York City (then the Devils can claim the state of New Jersey as well).
One of the stupider ones was when I lived in Hawaii and that was both Kings and Ducks territory. Except at the time, the channel(s) those teams were on weren’t even available in Hawaii. At least have the damn channel available if you’re going to claim the territory.
Granted, ideally I’d want no blackouts at all, but that’s currently a pipe dream so I’m attempting to think more practically.
Bettman didn't value streaming right when he did the last TV deal so we're stuck with a bunch of different companies holding the rights.
He made a 7 year deal in 2021, so we'll have to wait until 2028 to see some change.

streaming rights are inflated, nhl isn't driving people to subscribe to max or espn+. they likely get 20k streaming, they are under 600k on cable. wwe raw was getting near 2m on cable and under 700k on netflix. nba set some record for tnt/max viewership at 4.1m, but only 40k watched on max.
gary screwed up by not getting more games on abc, nhl can get 1m on free antenna tv and use that number to sell commercial time to sponsors. those million viewers aren't paying for cable and max and espn+.
yes, nfl did great numbers on amazon, for people that already had amazon prime for free shipping. i can't find any stats that amazon prime buyers went up because of the nfl.
