Looks like Youtube TV is carrying NBC and NBCSN in their $35/month plan. That should catch a lot of the playoffs, considering it appears it's getting the NBC hench-networks as well (including the golf channel for the Sabres 2017 post-season). I'm not bothering with it this year, but when the Sabres are in the playoffs doing it for two months is a lot cheaper than going out to bars every other night, if not as enjoyable. Plus, it will work with a Chromecast for easy TV viewing. Here's me being happy about hockey for a day!
