Around the League '23-24

Unlike the last couple of years those games are just pre-season right ?

Yep

Off to the Habs board for totally unrelated reasons

?? What’s this in reference to?

- NVM I assume it’s to make fun of MTL about Slaf over Cooley lol.

 

[Kcb12345]

Tufte and Kiviranta with goals today for the Avs. Apparently Tufte was very good and has looked good for them. They gave him a low number as well, they must expect him to have a decent shot at making the team.

Will be so funny if Tufte turns things around this year and becomes something at the NHL level.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Tufte is dogshit.

Neither guy has a guaranteed roster spot ( or in Kivis case even contract ). They're going to be noticeable in pre-season because they need to be to make the Avs . Doesn't mean much , yet .

Tufte saved his future with the improvements he made last season. He will play NHL games and not out of pity or weird reactions to Minnesota. I'm not entirely sure why the Stars elected to move on while they keep utterly pointless players like Caamano but there's minimal breakout risk. He can play on an NHL 4th line however.

Tufte might not have wanted to stay here either. Caamano is a good AHL soldier ( when he is healthy ) who pretty much has aceepted that .

Im jealous

That's certainly the future and not surprising Vegas is on it first.

$70 bucks, meanwhile I gotta pay Sportsnet like $250+ for this massive package of dog shit sports that I don't even want.

you know things are getting dire as a consumer when it'll cost you $70/year to sit on your couch and watch ONE team play 84% of their regular season games

A dollar per game sounds pretty f***ing rad to me

The 13 other games are nationally televised so Vegas' hands are tied there

to a degree, yes.. but i like watching hockey outside of the Stars- so if the model becomes every team has a subscription service, that's pretty shit for fans.

extrapolate across the league and u'd be over $1000/year...... makes SN+ ($250/year) look cheap

I already need DAZN and FuboTV to watch Arsenal play in the Champions league + premier league... these streaming services have the consumers by the nuts

 

[Smelling Salt]

I was considering SN+ for the first time but I think I will just stick with CI. I preferred the old NHL.tv way of doing things but the NHL just doesn't want to support a proper streaming option.

 

[Magic Mittens]

I think my only option is SN+ since I don't have a cable box anymore, which I think is the only way you can order center ice

I've tried googling other options, but from what I can tell if your in Canada and don't have a cable box or satellite, your only option is SN+

 

[Triple Ex El]

Well, if Neon Elon puts X ( god, it feels dumb to type that) behind a paywall, I've got Bluesky invite codes

I'd be a bit surprised if something like ESPN+ didn't include Vegas games. But we will see, I guess

Ya it’s a shame. I finally tried SN+ for the final 3 weeks of the season + playoffs and I had no complaints aside from not being able to choose which broadcast you want to watch.

NHL Gamecenter was great back in the day … it’s a shame they got rid of it.

I use this thing called the Internet to stream the games for free. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada so getting to see the Stars live is an issue.

Yes finding 480p free streams is easy, I want to watch in 1080p. 66 was good, but now need VPN and other hassles last year it was unreliable.

Unreliable and the feeds tend to lag/go down frequently. Just not worth it, I rather pay for something reliable and good quality.

pretty much this - I also want to watch the games through my TV and most of the free streams arent optimized for chromecasting/apple tv

If it's reasonably cheap and convenient/easy enough, I have no problem paying.

Unfortunately the NHL is not great about either.

ESPN+ has been great, honestly, but I say that as an out-of-market fan. When I inevitably move back to Texas, I have no idea yet how I plan to watch.
