Legally, it's his only way to sue. The only way for his firing to be unlawful is for some kind of double standard to be set, because he definitely violated the terms of his contract.

where's Craigery?! I honestly have no idea who the sens goalie is... uhhh... uhh.... Juuse Saros? but I feel like I would have heard that name before, and I think Rittich is out in the west... maybe its Mrazek or Stalock or Gibson? :shrug:

Ottawa played Anderson, Nilsson, and a guy named Hogberg this year.

If all but 4 of the goalies in the league are playing below expectation, maybe that's an unrealistic expectation.

Also, Ben Bishop is probably one of the most under rated players in the league.

So what are my best legal or semi legal options for playoff watching. I have Rogers internet but don't want to switch to the ignite bundle since I'll lose my discount rate. I used to just watch with reddit and before that the long gone hockeysteams $50 a year deal lol. Anything like that these days? Or are they doing a game center promotion?

I have two friends that want to split something if that is an option. I see nhl live let's you have 3 going at once, but they don't specify if they all have to be on the same internet connection.

If the games are all on Sportsnet an online subscription without a TV package is $25 a month. But since we don’t know what the actual broadcast situation is yet it’s hard to say, other than the obvious :filez:

I still think this is a bad idea, but with the MLS is back tourney not having any positives from within the bubble(i know two teams dropped out as they arrived) and the NBA bubble seeming to avoid positives in Florida of all places, this might actually work.

The good and bad part for all the leagues do in my compressed schedules is that it'll either go flawlessly or be a disaster.

I genuinely think that being in a heavily controlled bubble in Canada is absolutely the safest place for the players, especially the more, er, Floridian of them.

The downside is that one false negative test in the middle of the round Robins for instance, and suddenly you've got four infected teams and that would be terrible. I hope everything goes well.

Would a Shield classify as this or should I look for a specific IPTV box?

NHL Gamecentre is a terrible service and not worth paying for at all, I have a bundled subscription but don't actually use it because it's so unwieldy.

If you watch a lot of games from a windows computer, look on reddit for NHL underscore games, you'll find much better service.

If you're using a TV or some other app enabled thing, I think you just need to be a really Lazy Man.

The NBA has had a lot of players leave for “family matters” or something. Which is probably code for covid.

gently caress giving the NHL money for their garbage streaming service. Just find streams on sportsurge.net which is where nhlstreams moved to once reddit cracked down on streams.

e: I should add a few things. I've used quasi-legal streams that simply rebroadcast nhl.tv even when I had a subscription because their lovely authentication wouldn't work or the app would give a nonsensical error and tech support was entirely non-existent. Also, blackouts make nhl.tv useless during the season unless you live outside of your favourite team's broadcast region, and even then if you live in a different team's zone you won't be able to watch those games. During the playoffs, Rogers has all rights in Canada and NBC in the US so it's 100% useless unless you live outside North America or use a VPN.

NHL.tv can apparently stream above 60hz (not sure exactly how high) on some platforms. Inexplicably, when the season ended it worked on chromecast but not in the browser app (wtf?). It was great when it worked but every few minutes it would drop to RealPlayer-level quality.

My only thought for paying for TV or a streaming sub is with how many games there are during playoffs in the first rounds, I would like a convenient way to switch around games. I'll try to look into the IPTV thing, but if people have specific recommendations about home brewing it or getting someone else to configure it etc. PM me :)

My only problem with NHL Gamecenter or whatever they call their pay streaming service is the blackout poo poo. Otherwise, it works great for me and I split it with two other people each year so it's also reasonably cheap too. They do not, however, normally carry any playoff games. Not sure what they're gonna do this year; I'd bet on NBC using their million channels and new streaming service to show most of them.
