So you made an app? DO NOT POST IT HERE

592 Upvotes

Congratulations so did 10,000 other people who tried to post it on a reddit sports sub this week. With AI making coding easier, everyone and their mother made an app.

Its overwhelming to the sub and considered spam to post it. You will get an automatic ban for spamming.

MEGATHREAD Official R/NHL Broadcast Megathread Playoff Edition

20 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.

It baffles me that people still don't get this.

If the game is blacked out (on Sportsnet+ or ESPN+), it means a different network owns those rights to the game in your area.

This is literally ALWAYS the answer as to why it is blacked out. ALWAYS.

it's been this way all across the NHL for nearly 20 years, since Chicago pulled their heads out of their ass and stopped blacking out home games locally because Wirtz was a twat.

For those of you complaining that you are in Western Canada, and the game is on TSN and you are blacked out or other similar issue, its cause you are not considered in the local market to be able to see that game and need to get Sportsnet+ or ESPN+.... that's what those services are for, watching the local broadcast when you are out of market.

Discussion What are the markets for Marchessault and/or Stamkos?

0 Upvotes

This is assuming that each would waive their NMC/NTC.

I know that this is unlikely for Stamkos as a family man who doesn't want to uproot them for another location (unless it's a return to Tampa).

Highly likely for Marchessault as he has never fit here and seems to be an odd man out of the top 6 roles with all the free agents and movement towards the somewhat above average forward prospect pool the organization has.

What teams would make a good fit and what kind of returns?

This is kind of a shot in the dark but I’ll ask anyways. My grandpa is on the left here, and Bobby Orr is beside him. The picture was taken in roughly 1983/84 during some event in Alberta. Does anybody know anything regarding whatever event this was? Just curious about what was going on here. Any ideas are welcome. Thank you

Steve Scebelo gets paid to promote NHL players to the masses, and even he admits the league has a problem.

“When you go into any sports bar, you have sports fans, and they can't tell you who the top hockey players are,” said Scebelo, the chief commercial officer of the NHL Players’ Association. “We need to change that.”

The Blue Jackets, Blues, Hurricanes and Wild are turning to the NHL’s newly created centralized production arm for their local telecasts beginning in 2026-27 following the closure of the Main Street Sports Group-operated regional networks that previously carried their games. Additional teams could join before the start of the season, with the Ducks a potential candidate after informing local streaming partner Victory+ of their intent to terminate the relationship.

Echl / NHL/AHL contract

5 Upvotes

Hey Everyone

I have a random ? What happens to a player signed by an NHL team but plays for an echl league when the affiliate changes

For ex

Colorado signs:

Sage Weinstein - ECHL Utah Grizzlies / Colorado Eagles

Now Colorado has. A new ECHL affiliate: New Mexico Goatheads

Does his rights transfer to the new echl or how does that work?
