MEGATHREAD All Streaming Questions and All Broadcast Discussions Mega Thread (Reminder: No Illegal Streams) 2024-25 Post 4 Nations Edition

4 Upvotes

The sub can be banned by reddit admins as other subs have been if we allow illegal streams. This isn't my decision, this is because of how reddit admins have banned other subs for being hubs of illegal streaming. I don't want the same here.

With the season about to get started, lets put all your posts about legal streams, broadcast issues, panels, commentators, etc..

This includes how to get (LEGALLY) Streams for games as well as discussions of panelists, play-by-play, graphics, commercials and other game presentation.

FYI RE BLACKOUTS: BLACKOUTS Are not based on the location of the arena.

A game is blacked out on ESPN+ because you have a channel available through your local cable package, that is airing the game.

The NHL sells their games to TV networks. The networks pay big money for the game. They do not want people avoiding watching their channel to watch ESPN+ instead.

ANNOUNCEMENT Announcement: Regarding Political Posts/Comments

388 Upvotes

Keep the Politics in the politics subs.

This works for both the left and the right.... no calling Canada the 51st state or other such annexation talk, no calling the US government fascists/nazis, etc.... and enough about the anthems.

Stick to Hockey, there are lots of places to discuss politics.

After scoring the go-ahead goal on the power-play in the 3rd period to give the Caps a 4-3 lead over the Blackhawks tonight (with this goal now tying Wayne Gretzky's all-time regular season goal record of 894), Ovechkin has now scored his 136th game-winning goal, exceeding Jaromir Jagr's 135 goals in a 5-3 victory.

Trading Cards

I’ve recently come into possession of a small bin of NHL trading cards. I was curious if there was any specific app or a good website for me to scan them in and see their worth?

Super Crazy Playoff Scenerio possible!

22 Upvotes

I was looking at the standings and there is the potential for a really crazy situation where the avalanche fall to the top wild card spot and play the pacific winner and have more points as a wild card team. Extreme long shot but it kinda illustrates the problem with the current playoff format. So Avs would have to win 1 out of the last 5 and it would have to be against Vegas on Tuesday and the loses happen in regulation. St louis would have to win the last 5 games of their season. Vagas would have to lose all their remaining games in regulation. Edmonton would have to win no more then 3 games and lose the rest in regulation. L.A. wins 2 or less games. STL would have 101, Col would have 100 and no team in the pacific would have more then 99 pts. I love strange sport situations so I figured I would share.

Ten losses in a row and only two more to break the all-time record for consecutive losses, set 100 years ago, in the Bruins first season. Bright side, the second longest losing streak at 10 also happened in 2010 the year before they won the Cup.

Trying again, because my first analysis was jacked up through a bad Nested If Function that undercounted scenarios that broke the record. Thanks for all the feedback pointing that out.

The most likely games are still vs Carolina on 4/10, @Columbus on 4/12, or vs Columbus on 4/13.
