The Hockey News when it was printed like a newspaper.

HFBoards of course.

SportsNet is a very clean website. User friendly, quick, not bogged down by ads. I use their box scores on my computer while I'm watching the game on tv. But being a Blues fan, my only issue is the coverage/stories/columns are mostly on just the Canadian teams. I don't mind that much, because I do like it when Canadian teams do well. I'm a nostalgic old fart.

I also do visit NHL.com, but the layout & functions aren't as smooth as SportsNet. And the NHL phone app is horrible. I do wish SportsNet would make a phone app.

May have been said already but Sporsnets makes a decent app actually. But it’s only available in Canada

Speaking of mobile sites and apps, while I use the NHL's website on my computer, their mobile website is awful. Scrolling sideways to view the scores of additional games is wonky, and it's probably just because I'm clumsy, I almost always accidentally tap on one of the scores which opens up the box score of that game only. I don't want to download their app either, because my principle is that they usually suck anyway, and are often just an excuse to serve you even more ads that you don't care about. Stop releasing mobile apps that I don't want and make the mobile version of your website better, you jerks.

I used to pay for a subscription to the Athletic. They lost me as a customer by letting Craig Morgan go. Not that I’m saying he’s a great writer or anything, but he was the only person on staff who covered the Coyotes.

Past that, I don’t read any mainstream media sources for the NHL. If anything noteworthy happens, a thread gets posted about it on here usually within 15 minutes. Then I can discuss the topic with fellow fans in the thread. That’s how I keep up with the NHL these days.

I still have a subscription to The Athletic at $1/month, but that site is a complete shell of its former self. They also dropped the Devils beat writer a few years ago.

Will probably drop it at some point in the near future. Beyond that, I get news on these boards or through X.

I would never pay for NYT owned Athletic

Reddit is a pure unadulterated trash. No hockey related board can avoid spouting their politics over and over.

lol at complaining about people inserting politics into hockey talk, in the same post that you inform us you would never patronize the Athletic since they’re “NYT-owned”

 

[Shark Finn]

None. I solely follow hfboards.

TSN Overdrive - skews more towards entertainment than depth or breadth of hockey analysis. Typically pretty entertaining though

prohockeyrumors.com - Despite the name, it’s a legit source for pretty much all relevant news league-wide
