I-90 W Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 In the era of cord cutting, there seems to be a variety of different ways to follow the team. Personally, because of blackout restrictions I stream the games from Reddit. Also am getting Sling next week so will have NHL Network for highlights and NBC Sports for national games and playoffs.

pastajoe Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 I get MSG through Verizon Fios. I DVR the games and then start watching from the start after it’s close to the third period so I can fast forward during commercials, stoppages, and between periods. So I get all the gameplay in half the time. 1 Quote
French Collection Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 The traditional way, via cable. Eastlink is our provider and I get the NHL package. I watch Sabres games in their entirety and will watch parts of many other games. Quote

Zamboni Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 I had spectrum. Had the cable boxes. Price got too high. Switched to FuboTV thru Roku device. Three months later spectrum slashed their rates and wanted me back. Now I’m back to streaming spectrum thru Roku device. Comparing spectrum rate over three months ago to today .... I’m saving $60 a month. So it was worth leaving spectrum for three months. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 Living in NH I get the NHL center ice streaming package. It's fine. Quote

I thought reddit closed that group and started clamping down middle of last season? In any case, same, but different source for links. Also subscribe to center ice for non sabres and use their excellent xbox app to consume. Quote

PM the new Reddit location please? As mentioned, the old reddit group essentially shut down. Since then I've used various sources with limited satisfaction. Quote
Thorner Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 NHL Gamecentre, when I have money. But I'm watching all 82 either way. Quote

Broken Ankles Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 Direct TV -Center Ice package. It's usually around $130-150/annually. West Coast start times are usually 4-4:30pm so I DVR and watch after dinner. Family First. Turn the phone off, so text messages don't tip me off. I can't tell you how many times I've picked up a call from my 80 year-old father where he asks if I've seen the game yet, followed by "Don't bother" before I can answer. Gotta love him. Drives him crazy to wait for me to get home from work and not watch live when he visits. The other benefit of Center Ice is the complete pre and post game shows on Saturdays for HNiC. Love the Canadian broadcast. Saturday nights after the Sabres game ends, I love watching the West Coast game. Only time I get shut out it when it's a Ducks or Kings game. We are forced to watch the local broadcast. Quote
steveoath Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 Nhl.tv for me. Unless the game is UK blackedout in which case I go to "another source". Considering paying for a VPN this year though so that isn't an issue. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Let me look on them with my own eyes. And typically through the rose-colored glasses in my helmet, while drinking something tasty, via the NHL.tv account. And once a year in person in Vancouver, until 2021-22 when it'll be twice a year in Vancouver and Seattle. Edited October 23, 2020 by DarthEbriate 1 Quote

Andrew Amerk Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 For the last couple years, Fubo. It was originally $35/month when I signed up (plus I’d get Bills games). Now it’s been jacked up to $60/month, and I’m not getting Bills games, so I’ll be looking around at other options when NHL resumes. Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 Center Ice/NHL.tv/whatever the internet version is called. Up until we moved almost three years ago, we had Center Ice through DirecTV. It was fine I suppose. When we moved we signed on with Charter Spectrum for TV and Internet. When I did my research it looked like you could get Center Ice like DirecTV has. But when we moved we found out that wasn't the case. So I got the NHL.tv subscription and watch the games on my TV via Roku stick. Quote
SwampD Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) NHL.tv Best entertainment dollar spent out there. Edited October 24, 2020 by SwampD Quote
I-90 W Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Posted October 24, 2020 I just really wish the league (or whoever) would lift the blackout restrictions. I’m nearly 4 hours from Buffalo and have 5-6 NHL teams that are geographically closer yet Sabres games are still blacked out. Would love to pay for Center Ice but they won’t take my money. Quote

It is frustrating but if NHL is your #1 it's such a great value. Love getting the homer feeds from the west coast teams. Youngsters ain't gonna relate, but for me it's a little bit like listening to the AM radio at night pre-internet, escaping into some foreign land. 1 Quote

NHL is definitely my #1 sport, just won’t get it because I won’t be able to see Sabres games on it. NHL Network and NBCSN will satisfy to follow the rest of the league for me. Quote
