I am accessing the NHL tv streaming site geoblocked from a country who has limited interest in hockey (hence no fighting amongst SN, ESPN, etc.). However I have been finding free streaming to be as reliable and, sometimes, better quality.
Trying to access all games has been a nightmare to do through official companies. How's your experience been?
I'm not. I'll just wait for the playoffs, as the regular season is next to pointless, and the rules all change in the playoffs. So it's pretty much meaningless, other than making the playoffs. If I was an NHL GM, especially a Canadian one, that would be my prime focus. Just do well enough to make it, and find a way to stash a whole bunch of studs on the IR, until just before the playoffs. And be way over cap.
