MaxVerstappen33 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I did not expect every single home game to be blacked out. So far, they have been. Is this normal ? If so, time to cancel.Anyone else have this ? Do I have to pay extra for home games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEON.KNEE Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I live in ALberta so I get em all...They have blacked out a couple of Oiler games for me, but that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I had it a few years back, and yes, local games were blacked out. Great for those out of town, but if they still black it out, I can't see why it's any good for those in BC, unless you are willing to wait 24 hrs to watch it.

Do I have to pay extra for home games ?If you're on NHL.com and you are looking at the scores ribbon at the top, the 'Gamecentre' toggle button is usually not there for the Canucks game, but is for other games, so it makes it look like you can't watch. However, if you click on the box score, underneath the score of the game there is a 'Watch' button. If you click on that, it will take you to the game.

NEON.KNEE Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 its been fun watching them...I have no reason to watch them now for the short term. I was a McDavid doubter, did not believe he would be such a game changer for the Oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 its been fun watching them...I have no reason to watch them now for the short term. I was a McDavid doubter, did not believe he would be such a game changer for the OilYah but even with McJesus, the Coilers are only marginally better. They still have a losing record with him contributing as much as he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Can't you just watch the other team's stream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im getting the big "This is not available in your region" And it trolls me into thinking i will have the game right up until it starts. Maybe i should lie about my address. wonder if that works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxVerstappen33 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Can't you just watch the other team's stream?ill try that later. Doubt it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, time to cancel.Anyone else have this ? Do I have to pay extra for home games ?Not just home games...all games that are on local Sportsnet channels...only national games (HNIC, Hometown hockey) are streamed. Wasn't the case last season...got all games on Gamecentre. Maybe it has something to do with the games not being sell outs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 You should have read the FAQ: https://neulion.hs.llnwd.net/e1/nhl/player/nhlgc2/help.htmCan I watch my local team play? Can I watch nationally televised games? Due to local blackout rules and regulations, games broadcasts that are available to watch on television in your local market and nationally televised games are not available to watch live or within 48 hours of game completion in NHL GameCenter LIVE™ (see below for other blackout scenarios). Why am I unable to watch a game in NHL GameCenter LIVE™? A game may not be available to watch live or within 48 hours of completion if it meets any of the below criteria:Your local team is playing and televising the game on a local over-the-air station and you are located within that station's signal.Your local team is playing and televising the game on a local regional sports network and your cable or satellite system falls within the distribution for that local regional sports network (regardless of whether your cable or satellite system actually carries that regional sports network.)Your local team is playing and there is no local television coverage of the gameThe game is being televised nationally - In the U.S., this includes NBC, the NBC Sports Network, and the NHL Network. In Canada, this includes CBC, TSN, and the NHL Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
