Is NHL Live any good?

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about ordering NHL Live but know they have blackouts so can anyone tell me how many Canuck games will be available? And if it's not worth it is there any other better streaming service to watch Canuck games?

If you are in Abbotsford like your profile says, every single Canuck game on GameCenter Live will be blacked out.  It is for watching out-of-market games only.

 

https://www.nhl.com/tv

 

If you already have Sportsnet on your Shaw / Telus subscription, you can stream Sportsnet NOW for free.  If you don't have it in your subscription, you can pay for it separately.  It's $20 a month.

The blackouts for SNNow work the other way around.  You will only get your regional and national broadcasts.  So it works well for Canuck games.

It's just the NHL's way to suck every dollar out of you that they can.

 

I used to be a call centre agent for a TV provider.  Every year I would get calls from people that would subscribe to GameCentre Live only to find out afterwards that it's only really good for out-of-market games.  Or worse, Canucks fans living in exile in Alberta subscribing to all of the Sportsnet feeds but then the out-of-market games are blacked out anyways.
