Can sombody explain why I, a 26 year old student from Newfoundland who just wants to sit back and watch a game, can only watch the game in Vancouver, literally a continent away. It’s absolutely obscene that, depending on the night, I will be blocked out from both Toronto and Montreal games, despite living a flight or a 32 hour drive away.

The NHL is trying to drive people to use… er, nevermind, they don’t have a solution at all, apparently they just don’t want people to watch the sport.
Being blocked from Toronto and Montreal games, sounds like they’re doing you a favor ….

We get it
Itās really fucking random.
Iām in Northern BC; tonight I can watch Van at TB or Edm at Phi. Cgy at Buf is blacked out LOL
Y’all need to get Hulu for all other games, then learn how to stream for your team.
This has been a thing for us Avs fans for literally YEARS
NHL hasnāt figured out that piracy skyrockets when the legit media isnāt available. People are literally willing to pay money, and the NHL still promotes piracy instead.
It’s so fucking frustrating… I’d gladly give money to the league if they gave me an easy, reliable way to stream games. Until then they will get nothing from me and I’ll continue to illegally stream š
It would be terrible for you to Sport Surge your way to enjoying those NHL games.
I live in Minnesota and I can watch every single game of any team every night…
And they wonder why we priate.
Again Matey, as ye be learninā we were all once law abidingā folk, driven into the cruel Dark Waters, taking to plunder, all to satisfy our needs that weād happily pay a Kings Ransom to anyone that actually fulfill our simple needs!!
We Fly the Death Flag because we were given no real choice!!
Remember when we bought pay per view games with blackouts?š¤£
You know what’s not out of hand?
Avast ye matey! Come sail the high seas! Endless games for ye ta see! Yarrrrr-har!
NHL is already such an under exposed sport, you wonder why hockey has a drastically smaller fan base than baseball, basketball, football, soccer… STOP DOING THIS SHIT YOU GREASEMONKEY TV COMPANIES
Private subscriptions are out of hand. Almost one for every NHL team. The Demon Gary Bettman must be stopped
This is why I don’t bother trying to pay for it anymore, I’d rather deal with popups from you know what then pay for blackouts.
Eh, as a recent transplant to Tennessee who was considering making the Preds my third-tier preference, the blackouts just make me understand that the team doesnāt want my support. Lol
That’s why we no longer support or buy team merchandise for 5 teams. Now it’s just 1.
Is New Foundland really 32 hours from Toronto by car? I would have figured 10 tops.
GroW tHe gAmE. Proceeds to blackout locals.
I paid for one year and got this way too much so I stopped doing it. Iād rather not watch
How can we get our voices heard? Not that they give a fuck about what we have to say anyway.
The Least Expensive TV Package that allows me to get Sharks games, ESPN, and TNT is $119 a month. I don’t want cable, I don’t have cable. Definitely not at that price. So no Hockey for me. NHL is screwing up.
I haven’t paid to watch a game since I got a blackout on the rangers game playing edmonton in the calgary region. Cancelled the next fucking day
The stream east dot io
My friend please donāt pay for everything use NHL 66 or NHL Reddit Streams as a fellow student i understand your plight
MLBš¤NHL stupid blackouts that make the sport impossible to watch
A while back I wanted to watch the leafs and canadiens. The game wasnāt available in EITHER city I was like what????? š ridiculous.
As an aside, I was on a work trip about 4 years ago that took me to St. John’s Newfoundland and was absolutely blown away by the natural beauty (got to visit Cape Spear), the beauty of the city, the friendliness of the people, the amazing seafood (Bernard Stanley) . . . all of it. One of the best work trips I’ve ever been on. Really, really want to get back there when I’m not working to explore more.
Sportsnet is your friend here. I can watch any Canadian teamās games. They even do certain games that donāt involve Canadian teams, but overallā¦ā¦not that many.
YAR AVAST YE LAND LUBBERS. YE SCALLYWAGS HOP ABOARD. THE SEAS NEED SAILING AND OUR BODIES NEED SCUUUUUUURVYYYYY YAAAAAAAR
