Not everything. ESPN+ blacks out your local market live (but you can watch the replay). They also don't carry TNT or NHLNetwork games live or on replay.

The flipside is ESPN+ has so much more content than NHL.tv did, pre/post-games notwithstanding. Right now there's pre-season MLB baseball, NCAA baseball, Indian Premier League cricket, NCAA women's lacrosse, and Sportscenter... all rolling along at 1030AM PT/130PM ET. The intriguing thing will be playoff games. I'm not sure if ESPN+ will show NHL playoffs live.

Doing some morning game re-watching, it has to have something to do with an agreement on the network level. MSG doesn't show pre- or post-games (BUF, NYR, NYI, NJD). But Bally (MIN and NSH) both show post-game broadcasts for a bit. MSG would need to agree to it/negotiate it in some capacity.

MSG definitely needs to get it in gear and show their pre-game show on ESPN+. And ESPN+ needs to get time markers in their playback feature of intermissions, goals, and penalties. And a quick-launch app.

--Levi, no more training do you require. Already have you, that which you need... to lead the Sabres to the playoffs. ++Then I am a goalie... --No... not yet. One thing remains: a contract. You must sign a contract. Then, only then, a goalie will you be. And sign the contract you will. Heh! But first, we must eat. Another college season! Good fun! Yes, yes.

Arttu! Where are you?

Florida easily could have been call for 5 or 6 penalties in this one. But alas, the Sabres fell apart in the 2nd and that was it against a top team.

Or not. Fiddlestickery.

Listen, refs... you're only making this comeback more improbable.

Poor timing to take him down. But coming out of the box... it'll be a TNT redemption score on the breakaway.

Hey! Rob said that wasn't going to be the Collision of the Game! Betrayed.

Point streak is on the line... let's go get two. One to start.

Not ready to quit yet. Last time, and earlier this year, this likely becomes the 6-1 or just ends 4-1. Not anymore.

WOOOOOOO! Nice pass, Skinner

Let's ... oh, Mitts...

And now it begins!

Looks like Chiarot put Mitts into the crease.

Florida gets the quick whistle.

That was Florida's first penalty of the day?

Well, shoot.

Florida had a wild comeback yesterday. Hope they burned it all up in the 2nd, and now we've got our own comeback in store, Chicago-style.

Diving at someone's legs would be a trip, right?

This was not the shift we were looking for. Gotta rebound in the intermission.

Need a strong shift from the top line.

Florida skating hard this period. Sabres waving a lot of sticks by comparison.
