What is ESPNs plan here? To alienate the few hockey fans that actually exist? I’m not signing up for ESPN to watch one game likewise HULU.

Am I the only one thankful I don’t have to worry about flipping the game on?

This could be the game, win and you have something to hold onto but do t and sell it all.

caps are really good 5v5, Flyers, well, are not …

Flyers either show up and make a statement or give more proof they are what we have been watching.

LETS GO FLYERS

This game shouldn't have any effect what they do. Nor future games for that matter. They need to sell and sell hard. Just my 2 cents.

I can't begin to tell you how much I hate this new TV package that the NHL signed with these two dipshyte stations(ESPN/TNT). TNT puts games on at 10PM on Wednesday nights when no one on the east coast cares and ESPN doesn't broadcast ANY games on their parent station or ESPN2. Now I come to find out that I can't watch tonight's game unless I sign up for ESPN+.......WTF!! This sucks!! I mean God forbid that they take off fake wrestling and the world wide of Poker to broadcast hockey games. Buttman sold his soul to the devil for some extra cash stash. Joker!

I hear you. I've never been so out of touch with the happenings around the league as I am this season.

Yep, same here. We have the NHL Network, so able to see some games on there. I can't believe the powers to be of the NHL signed off on this deal. Talk about losing exposure to your sport. Say what you want about NBC, but they had games on NBCSN on a regular basis and marketed the sport relatively well.
- Phillywhiteout


Agreed. Moving to a pay to view model is a recipe for marginalization of the sport. Witness boxing. No one pays any attention to it anymore except the fringe diehards. NBA, NFL, and MLB would NEVER marginalize their sport by doing what the NHL has done.

Why do some teams with covid issues still have to play while others do not? From what I understand, there isn't a standard rule with this.

Glad all the players were vaccinated.

Agreed. It’s good to see that none of the players infected have needed hospitalization. 👍

don't worry there will always be some variant for the media to scare people about
Flu and common cold weren't scaring enough people into compliance

It’s disgusting what’s going on right now, I’m sure all these politicians have their hands in the right pockets and have flourished with this.

I just had 2 people in my family die from COVID. If everyone in the world had the same awful symptoms/reaction/end result from catching COVID we wouldn’t be talking about not vaccinating or “the gov’t is trying to scare us” (COVID is only in the US, right?)

But because not everyone is affected the same way we get some of these bullpoop takes your reading in the comments section today.

EDIT: they were anti-vax

Same here. I don't pay $180 a month to have to also pay for ESPN+ or Hulu on top of that. They are insane if they think people will do that.

It’s too bad. If they could have just passed that BBB bill, I’m sure it included free streaming for the proletariat.
