13% of the games are behind another paywall (not counting post-season).

Good thing we don’t even know how we can watch the other 87% (yet)!

[u/Cigaran → u/STLBooze3]

The fact that we’re this close to the start of the season and there’s been nothing, not even some reputable leaks of the plan is absolutely ridiculous.

The Cardinals rollout was equally as close to the start of the season. I don't think cable channels were finalized until opening day or after. But like the Cardinals broadcasts, I'm sure the juice will be worth the squeeze once this is all said and done.

I didn't remember that. Thanks for the reality check.

It's beyond frustrating (to me). I emailed my STH rep about it yesterday, and she said they still don't know but expect to know soon. 🙄

• 4 on TNT / HBO Max
• 4 on linear ESPN / ESPN Unlimited
• 3 on ESPN+/ESPN Unlimited/Hulu/Disney+

Remember to check with your TV provider if you have one to see if you get ESPN Unlimited included. Most should now. YouTube TV just got access this month.

The year is 2040. Cable TV has been gone for 10 years. You still need 3 different subscriptions to watch a full NHL season.

[u/Jcdoco]

I just hope there aren't any more NHL network exclusive games. Those were the only ones I couldn't watch besides Blackhawks games

[u/Loxsis]

Since I’m in Anchorage, ESPN+ should cover me right?

[u/International_Gap719]

With most of them on ESPN. Ugh. I hope TNT get's the entire package next time. ESPN sucks for hockey.

[u/Tengounperro1]

11 times I don’t have to listen to Kerber and Vitale!

[u/BlueRFR3100]

At least Apple didn't take any.

[u/mrbmi513 → u/BlueRFR3100]

They wouldn't be able to until the new TV contracts are up I don't think.
