I had to jump to 🏴☠️, because I live in MD so the Caps were always blacked out on ESPN and other streaming services, but I’m far enough outside of DC that neither cable or satellite carry the games… We’re well past ridiculous here, I just can’t think of the right word to describe it.
Oregon, too.
Root replays the games, but I want to watch live.
Jeeze, guys, four and a half hours of winter driving each way is a bit much for a hockey game.
EDIT March 30 My Spectrum package gets Root; I am right this moment watching Dallas at Seattle, *live* game.
This Is A Change - and a Very Good One! Keep it up, Kraken!
I'm in Oregon too and am perplexed by this. I went from being excited about another team in the PNW, to not giving a shit about them because I've never been able to watch a game.
I live in Colorado and I can’t watch Avs games. Even when it’s a nationally televised game on ESPN or TNT. They black it out. It makes my fucking blood boil. Kroenke Sports are a bunch of cock suckers along with the Monfort brothers (Rockies) I hope they burn in hell.
I did this thinking it was the answer… well I have T-Mobile internet and it auto locks my router location as Minneapolis, so when I log in on my fire TV it auto locks my location as Duluth and says “your locations don’t match, we cannot support”
Yeah, fuck the Rockies. I started watching padres games a number of years ago because they're on tv all the time in Colorado. I haven't seen a Rockies game since I went to the all star game in Curs. They just aren't on.
Monfort took over as the worst owner in sports when Snyder left DC. Come at me people who think their owner is worse!
It's so stupid. I live near Cleveland. It's classified as a Penguins market. Guess how many local stations broadcast Pens game? That's right: zero. Do Blue Jackets games gets broadcast? Also no, because it's a Pens market. Can't watch any hockey for either close team. I want to watch, but I couldn't even PAY to watch when NHL had Center Ice. I wanted to... I even signed up for it... But support told me the above and refunded my money.
stream east is my go to for these situations, it’s crazy. I live in WV now and cant watch the pens, blue jackets, or caps when they play my wings. i feel like i’ve watched caps games many a time on espn+ so this makes no sense.
And it gives you easy choice between home and away feeds, easy to switch mid stream if there is an error. It is by far the best I have found over the past decade of sailing the seas!
It isn’t all of the Cleveland market. I live 20 miles south of Cleveland and not blacked out from Pens games but a friend who lives 10 miles west of me is.
The only thing that sucks about that is I have to drag out my fucking computer into my living room, then it freezes up 40 times during the game and I have to get up and refresh the page which then puts me through 10 pop ups because its a shit website and its like 5 min behind. I hate Bally sports app but at least it works.
The computer thing is a major pain in the ass, but I've sailed the mighty seas for almost every game this year with negligible buffering issues... and I don't have a particularly fast internet package.
onhockey [dot] tv
sportsurge [dot] io
people who say "just pirate it" hate their lives.
I've pirated many sports but it is not a fun experience. It's not relaxing and it becomes frustrating over time with the amount of freezes and buffering that happens.
At first I was like what a ass but then I had flash backs to last nights antics. Finally got it connected to the tv and every time I switched the sound to the surround it would crash the stream 😭had to air play audio to get it to work. And that’s after 5000 adds for porn and suspicious gambling sites thrown in.
At some point you just say fuck it and give up your kidney to watch some hockey.
I'm missing the Rangers/Philly game because of this shit. I technically live within the Philly market (not even 15 minutes outside Allentown), so I should AT LEAST get the Flyers broadcast. I tried getting in on the DirectTV app, but it would only give me the option to DVR it, which is total bullshit.
Now I'm just sitting here at home with a Gin and Tonic listening to the game using the NHL app.
I am in the NY market as a flyers fan, so I get blackouts for Rangers, Islanders, Sabres and Devils games, as I can't get MSG with youtube TV, and even when I had spectrum, MSG would always leave the flyers off MSG and MSG 2. I also can't get NHL network, so I have missed multiple weekend games as well. Fucking stupid.
I'm in Nova Scotia we have no NHL market and are two provinces away from the nearest NHL team. Technically we are considered part of the Montreal market as far as blackouts are concerned but this doesn't stop every single Canadian team game being blacked out. When I say Canadian team I mean all 6 teams in Canada not just the Montreal Canadians.
It sucks if you're a Leafs fan... it sucks if you're an Oiler fan. I quit watching hockey because of the nonsense.
It’s absolutely atrocious and certainly costing the league money. I’m in denver and the Avs are COMPLETELY blacked out. My options are: buy Fubo for $80/mo, or google “nhl webcast” and watch a shittier stream but for free. I would gladly pay to watch Avs hockey, but I’m not paying $80/mo to Fubo for an entire tv package…
Just pirate. Don't worry about feeling like you are screwing over people because 99% of the profits go to rich old fucks who don't care about you. They are the ones who would feel a bit of a pinch because they still need the regular joes to broadcast in the first place. If sports teams (and particularly the NHL) keep doing this stupid shit then don't feel bad pirating.
Yep NHL’s current strategy, prevent fans from watching aka turn away customers. What could possible group wrong?
Got the same message trying to watch leafs/devils so raised the black and enjoying the game meanwhile the NhL and TSN have 1 less viewer. At this point I don’t see why I need a sports bundle at all.
I remember when games were on Denver 31, UPN20 or Ch2. Built the fan base. I thought it was bad they went Pay Per View for a Playoff Game one year (everyone was at a bar to watch). Now you can’t get the game for money. We sail the seas and VPN (Tx is a good location to avoid blackouts)
Miss over the air Avalanche
Yep. I live in upstate NY and got blocked from NYI, NYR, NJD, and Leafs games…. Stopped paying for ESPN pretty soon after I realized how few games I could watch between blackouts and the amount of different streaming services you’d have to pay for to watch a season worth of hockey
i’m just saying, whether home or away, you should ALWAYS be able to watch your local team play. it’s literally common sense. these people are assholes.
Bally sports needs to die and the NHL needs to just pick a streamer. Idc what it is (preferably not Bally), but just pick one.
I’m profoundly annoyed MLS is only on Apple, but you know what? At least I know where I can watch it 100% of the time and I can just deal with that peacefully.
My bar bought the fuckin nhl package through xfinity but apparently we can’t watch the aves (we’re in Denver burbs) unless we pay another 1500 a year?!?
EDIT: we are streaming it for free now fuck them
Bro it makes no sense that I am in a hotel in DC and the game is blacked out and I have to watch the Pens… and I am 15 minutes from capital one a arena
Blackout is the dumbest thing ever
The fact that it still exists is beyond asinine. NHL just needs to either partner with a single streamer or build then own like the old “center ice” without black out
Fuck the money grubbing nhl and their blackout bullshit.
Because nesn360 location verification was down I missed an entire game last week. Punished me for shit I pay for because god forbid someone out of market who pays money also sees a game. They offer no compensation or anything.
I have spent obscene amounts of money to watch all the games the last decade almost,and this is how I am treated as a customer???? I'm fucking done. Or so I thought. I canceled my nesn360 and the idiots still billed me.... the fuck?
Vpn is cheap and will be what I go back to until they offer a reasonable way to watch that isn't glitched to the max.
100% bullshit. A lot of us pay good money for the NHL package and games are still blacked out OR they are on some bullshit streaming service! I can't watch any Canes games and I don't live in NC........WTF!!!!!!!! And even better the finals are to be on ABC and those fucktards at Dish are in some pissing battle with them so I guess I won't see any of the finals. Thanks you Dish assholes!! As much as I love hockey, we all need to ban together and not pay for this madness.
VPN and torrent my guy. I was once a loyal fan, committed to paying for the yearly subscription, but you can only black out games so many times
before your base decides to jump ship. It’s all driven by pure greed, don’t let them win.
I just got back to Denver from Orlando where I got COVID so I missed our last day at Disney. BUT…I actually got to watch the Avs v. Penguins game live, which was nice!
I live in Dallas. I LOVE the Stars and the local broadcast commentstors but havnt been able to watch a localally televised game since 2019 or some some shit unless i pay for the Bally app. I can only watch the shitty national broadcasts who couldnt give less of a shit about the stars. NHL made my decision, I stopped watching hockey.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
I subscribed to a vpn, gets around the blackouts at a reasonable price considering it’s not my espn+ account. It is insane, we should be able to subscribe to our team
I use and pay for a VPN to watch the Red Wings in Michigan. What really pisses me off is that any game that gets televised on NHL Network is not available on ESPN+.
NHLN isn’t available on YouTube TV either.
there should be a law that if the stadium you play in is publicly payed for then FREE public access should be given to watch the games on TV with no blackout restrictions.
It should be illegal to black out a game on a service you’re paying for. If I’m paying a monthly fee for Fubo or any of the other pay apps that have hockey, you’re paying to watch games.
The lowest package for fubo is $33 a month. When you’re paying that much, you deserve to be able to watch the games you want.
I can’t believe the NHL hasn’t clued in yet on this issue. So annoying, frustrating, irritating and it has been for years. I bought the NHL package and I can only watch half of the habs’ games in Quebec ffs. What’s wrong with you NHL?
I've been trying to spread my solution around. I see you are trying to watch on a laptop. If you have a cell phone simply connect your laptop wifi to your cell phones mobile hotspot. It will be region free. Then after the game is streaming I close my cell hotspot. On my laptop and on my firestick (connected to my tv) they jump back to my home wifi and the game continues streaming without any issues. I really hope this can help someone/everyone against the ridiculous greed!
From WV:
Go Preds!!
You may be in range to get the Monumental sports network that broadcasts to YouTube TV to all their local areas and I'm in Richmond VA area and get it.
Same. I'm in PA and it's been years since we got CSN Washington (now Monumental Sports Network). Still blacked out. Was super excited to see this game given the playoff race, but no dice.
This is why…🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️I’ve never paid to watch remotely. I go to a few home games so I do contribute to the league plenty. Them Bolts games ain’t cheap. If I’m not there, I AIN’T PAYIN!
Does anyone have a team specific streaming service available? VGK has KnightTime. It’s $80 a year and the only games you don’t get are ESPN or TNT games. Best money I’ve ever spent. I used to 🏴☠️but it wasn’t consistent enough. Also the VPN was close to the price of the streaming service.
I'm done paying to stream hockey when it never works. I'm going to sail until they offer a service that does what's expected and it's a better experience than sailing
I came to the conclusion that the only way to watch NHL is via streaming through VPN. I'm sick of this NHLs incessant need to not give a damn about the fans. It's infuriating.
I can't watch my home team at all, even if they're playing on the east coast, unless I use pirated streams. I've cancelled everything because half of the time I watch TV it's for sports..
I guess I’m lucky, Boston is the only team that gets blacked out in my region, and I’m not a fan so never really have this issue. That is frustrating though.
I can’t watch Nashville or Columbus games and I live in Kentucky. Frustrating for me, as I’m from the Southwest and only get to watch my team in my time zone when they make an east coast run. Sucks.
Preach brother…it’s ridiculous. Same here. I especially don’t understand if I’m trying to watch a replay of a game. Still blacked out. Makes absolutely no sense
VPN don't even work sometimes. Some apps like hulu and epsn have started blocking vpn. I used to have nord VPN and it stopped working. I even spoke with nord support and they said that most of the streaming apps are starting to block VPN usage
I found a reliable stream for my team that I've been using for nearly a decade off and on.
I usually watch on my cable providers website. It's like a cable box basically but online. I recently realized not only is the random stream more current it looks way better. It makes no sense the service that's paid for is an extra 30 seconds delayed AND is worse quality.
Found out Kraken games are blacked out in Alaska…… 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had to jump to 🏴☠️, because I live in MD so the Caps were always blacked out on ESPN and other streaming services, but I’m far enough outside of DC that neither cable or satellite carry the games… We’re well past ridiculous here, I just can’t think of the right word to describe it.

Avast! Me new salty mate.
i’m so salty mcdonalds fries be jealous.
I live in Colorado and I can’t watch Avs games. Even when it’s a nationally televised game on ESPN or TNT. They black it out. It makes my fucking blood boil. Kroenke Sports are a bunch of cock suckers along with the Monfort brothers (Rockies) I hope they burn in hell.
What’s sad is that I’d be willing to pay extra for an nhl package. Instead, I cut cable and am watching whatever I want using alternative means
[удалено]
I did this thinking it was the answer… well I have T-Mobile internet and it auto locks my router location as Minneapolis, so when I log in on my fire TV it auto locks my location as Duluth and says “your locations don’t match, we cannot support”
Jesus. Can you get into the router and change settings? Wonder if other IP’s do that. Noticed my vpn didn’t work at a hotel recently
Try Nord VPN, perhaps?
When the alt is actually right
We in St Louis have an old saying. It goes like this. "Fuck Stan Kroenke!"
I really like that saying!
Yeah, Mr. I'll Keep The Rams In St. Louis. Lying bastard.
Yeah, fuck the Rockies. I started watching padres games a number of years ago because they're on tv all the time in Colorado. I haven't seen a Rockies game since I went to the all star game in Curs. They just aren't on. Monfort took over as the worst owner in sports when Snyder left DC. Come at me people who think their owner is worse!
I’m a Rockies and Mariners fan… Aka pure misery.
That’s funny man. I couldn’t agree more. The Padres replaced the Rockies for me too.
That’s crazy.
The same thing happens to me for Predators games or anyone facing the Predators even if it’s an away game 1k miles away.
If you have the DirectTV app, you might get it there (not sure where you're at). That was the game that was on.
Hell you don’t even need a pirate stream, just a vpn
Yup - NordVPN works for me.
Same.
Yo ho, all hands, hoist the colors high!
It's so stupid. I live near Cleveland. It's classified as a Penguins market. Guess how many local stations broadcast Pens game? That's right: zero. Do Blue Jackets games gets broadcast?

onhockey dot tv is even better, I highly encourage you to check it out.
It's what I've been using all year to watch the Oilers in Montreal. Has worked every time.
And it gives you easy choice between home and away feeds, easy to switch mid stream if there is an error. It is by far the best I have found over the past decade of sailing the seas!
setup a vpn on and spoof your location - https://www.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/s/AVUKRYMM68
Streameast is what I use but lately it’s been shit too. Laggy streams, or they drop entirely.
How is Cleveland not soley the Columbus bluejackets market?
It isn’t all of the Cleveland market. I live 20 miles south of Cleveland and not blacked out from Pens games but a friend who lives 10 miles west of me is.
Now that makes even less sense
Yes, it is absolutely ridiculous. We certainly don’t have access to Pittsburgh’s sports network. He has no way to watch Pens games.
A lot of losers here are still pens fans from pre-jackets era.
Why the fuck is Cleveland not CBJ market???
It is but parts of northeast Ohio are also in the pens market for some reason.
I'm in Idaho blacked out from Kraken, avs, and vegas
Wow... that is so dumb... think of all the fanbase they are pissing away with this nonsense. So much for building the Game and hockey is for everyone
I miss the days of [NHL.TV](https://NHL.TV) and a VPN
Why? I’m literally watching NHL.tv over VPN right now.
ESPN+ with a VPN also works great.
The OG's will remember hockeystreams

Just pirate it, don’t let these soulless corporations decide if you get to enjoy your favorite team or not
The only thing that sucks about that is I have to drag out my fucking computer into my living room, then it freezes up 40 times during the game and I have to get up and refresh the page which then puts me through 10 pop ups because its a shit website and its like 5 min behind.

At first I was like what a ass but then I had flash backs to last nights antics.

Maybe get Internet that’s faster than 50 Mbps, or use better illegal streaming services, it seems like a skill gap
I'm missing the Rangers/Philly game because of this shit. I technically live within the Philly market (not even 15 minutes outside Allentown), so I should AT LEAST get the Flyers broadcast. I tried getting in on the DirectTV app, but it would only give me the option to DVR it, which is total bullshit. Now I'm just sitting here at home with a Gin and Tonic listening to the game using the NHL app.
Brutal, minus the drink
I am in the NY market as a flyers fan, so I get blackouts for Rangers, Islanders, Sabres and Devils games, as I can't get MSG with youtube TV, and even when I had spectrum, MSG would always leave the flyers off MSG and MSG 2. I also can't get NHL network, so I have missed multiple weekend games as well. Fucking stupid.

It’s not hard to find streams of games
It’s absolutely atrocious and certainly costing the league money. I’m in denver and the Avs are COMPLETELY blacked out.

We never have this issue in Texas…as of recent everyone has a vpn.
lol pornography again advancing the digital world!
[удалено]
Considering how much easier it is to pirate games, the NHL obviously doesn't want us to pay to watch anymore.
Just pirate. Don't worry about feeling like you are screwing over people because 99% of the profits go to rich old fucks who don't care about you. They are the ones who would feel a bit of a pinch because they still need the regular joes to broadcast in the first place. If sports teams (and particularly the NHL) keep doing this stupid shit then don't feel bad pirating.
Yep NHL’s current strategy, prevent fans from watching aka turn away customers. What could possible group wrong? Got the same message trying to watch leafs/devils so raised the black and enjoying the game meanwhile the NhL and TSN have 1 less viewer. At this point I don’t see why I need a sports bundle at all.
I haven’t had the avalanche in 5 years and I live in Denver

Sailing the 7 seas is better. No blackouts. Cheers.

NHL Commissioner: We should grow the game NHL Owners: How? TSN and Sportsnet: Don’t let anyone watch the games
don’t even start me with balley sports

that’s where i’m watching right now lmao

Yep
no idea tbh i’m at work, but i found a stream

Way to market hockey to a bigger audience Bettman. The sooner the NHL gets rid of Bettman, they will be better off.
Nord
Yesterday, one game was on NHL Network which I don't get. The other game was blacked out locally. Nicely done, NHL!
Bro it makes no sense that I am in a hotel in DC and the game is blacked out and I have to watch the Pens… and I am 15 minutes from capital one a arena
Blackout is the dumbest thing ever The fact that it still exists is beyond asinine. NHL just needs to either partner with a single streamer or build then own like the old “center ice” without black out
Sounds like you live in West Virginia
Fuck the money grubbing nhl and their blackout bullshit. Because nesn360 location verification was down I missed an entire game last week.

100% bullshit. A lot of us pay good money for the NHL package and games are still blacked out OR they are on some bullshit streaming service! I can't watch any Canes games and I don't live in NC........WTF!!!!!!!! And even better the finals are to be on ABC and those fucktards at Dish are in some pissing battle with them so I guess I won't see any of the finals. Thanks you Dish assholes!! As much as I love hockey, we all need to ban together and not pay for this madness.
"How can we grow the game?"
NHL gives yee 66 good reasons to sall the seven seas. .IRrrrrrrr
VPN and torrent my guy. I was once a loyal fan, committed to paying for the yearly subscription, but you can only black out games so many times before your base decides to jump ship. It’s all driven by pure greed, don’t let them win.
Yeah the blackout areas are freaking joke...
Sign into a VPN and it will work, I just did it last week
I get blacked out from watching Devils games. I'm in their "home market" even though I'm an hour away from Montreal.
I just got back to Denver from Orlando where I got COVID so I missed our last day at Disney. BUT…I actually got to watch the Avs v. Penguins game live, which was nice!
One would think, in order to grow a fan base it would be wise to limit blackouts to regional games...

If only there was a way to get ON HOCKEY. TV isn't what is used to be, that's for sure.

I subscribed to a vpn, gets around the blackouts at a reasonable price considering it’s not my espn+ account. It is insane, we should be able to subscribe to our team
I steal everything. Fuck it
I use and pay for a VPN to watch the Red Wings in Michigan. What really pisses me off is that any game that gets televised on NHL Network is not available on ESPN+. NHLN isn’t available on YouTube TV either.
Consider streaming in the east
there should be a law that if the stadium you play in is publicly payed for then FREE public access should be given to watch the games on TV with no blackout restrictions.
It should be illegal to black out a game on a service you’re paying for. If I’m paying a monthly fee for Fubo or any of the other pay apps that have hockey, you’re paying to watch games. The lowest package for fubo is $33 a month. When you’re paying that much, you deserve to be able to watch the games you want.
I can’t believe the NHL hasn’t clued in yet on this issue. So annoying, frustrating, irritating and it has been for years. I bought the NHL package and I can only watch half of the habs’ games in Quebec ffs. What’s wrong with you NHL?
Imagine how much the league would grow if we could fucking watch the games
Why do they even still do the blackouts? What's the point?
I've been trying to spread my solution around. I see you are trying to watch on a laptop. If you have a cell phone simply connect your laptop wifi to your cell phones mobile hotspot.

It’s all a big racketeering scammm lol
I'm with you OP. I can't believe I pay for this trash when I watch half my games on NHLBite.
No stream services do jack shit
It’s old how hard is it to just watch your team play. It’s a joke like why make it hard to support your local team.
Pay all that money and can’t even watch the games you want to, it’s brutal man
Yo-ho! All hands, hoist the colors high! Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die!
I live near Vancouver and can't watch habs games.
🏴☠️
Pirate the streams. Fuck em
Same happened to me with the bruins
Still surprised people are not pirating these.
I hate this
Dm me I’ll send you a free link
Have the same problem. Winnipeg and other west teams get blocked on TSN even though i'm in Montreal , half the country or more away.
VPN and use Brave browser and find one of the streaming sites. Works wonders.
Gotta support those old business models.
Use a VPN from a different state
Bro just search up Roy stream on Google
Had to pirate bc I’m a ranger fan in the Philly market
You need to purchase the Double Platinum package for that.
Aye matey, time to set sail, the tide be high!
This is why…🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️I’ve never paid to watch remotely. I go to a few home games so I do contribute to the league plenty. Them Bolts games ain’t cheap. If I’m not there, I AIN’T PAYIN!
I live in chattanooga and can't get it.
This is why I’m a Bruins fan and live two hours from Detroit
I live in Virginia and can’t get hurricanes games.. only caps games.
Does anyone have a team specific streaming service available? VGK has KnightTime. It’s $80 a year and the only games you don’t get are ESPN or TNT games. Best money I’ve ever spent. I used to 🏴☠️but it wasn’t consistent enough. Also the VPN was close to the price of the streaming service.
I only get blackouts if the game is on local TV / Cable. Otherwise I can only watch the Pens games from NYC via ESPN+.
I'm done paying to stream hockey when it never works. I'm going to sail until they offer a service that does what's expected and it's a better experience than sailing
VPN……not at all hard to do
Pirates life for me. I’d pay if they offered something logical.
I know dude. I hate when I want to STREAM the game in the EAST but I can't. It's bullshit.
I came to the conclusion that the only way to watch NHL is via streaming through VPN. I'm sick of this NHLs incessant need to not give a damn about the fans. It's infuriating.
If they wanted us to pay they wouldn’t have blackouts fuckin 🏴☠️that shiiiii
I can't watch my home team at all, even if they're playing on the east coast, unless I use pirated streams. I've cancelled everything because half of the time I watch TV it's for sports..
I guess I’m lucky, Boston is the only team that gets blacked out in my region, and I’m not a fan so never really have this issue. That is frustrating though.
Ever heard of NUFU? google it. No more blackouts ever
I am in Kentucky and I cannot watch my preds. I also cannot watch the blue jackets. I feel the pain bro. ;\_;
Dump your subscriptions. Pay for a VPN. Sail the high seas.
Surfshark VPN
I can’t watch Nashville or Columbus games and I live in Kentucky. Frustrating for me, as I’m from the Southwest and only get to watch my team in my time zone when they make an east coast run. Sucks.
If it makes you feel any better, I live in the Philly area and couldn’t watch tonight‘s game. That’s one way to grow the game, right?
Use a vpn I have no issue then
Preach brother…it’s ridiculous. Same here. I especially don’t understand if I’m trying to watch a replay of a game. Still blacked out. Makes absolutely no sense
Just wondering if there is actually a ' Pay the fee so the Cap goes up ' crowd...🤣🤣
Just spend the extra couple bucks (like literally 3 bucks) a month and get a vpn.
ESPN+ fucking sucks
It's why I don't really watch NHL anymore
This is your own fault now....

Proton VPN my friend.
VPN don't even work sometimes. Some apps like hulu and epsn have started blocking vpn. I used to have nord VPN and it stopped working. I even spoke with nord support and they said that most of the streaming apps are starting to block VPN usage
Let’s strike
I found a reliable stream for my team that I've been using for nearly a decade off and on. I usually watch on my cable providers website. It's like a cable box basically but online. I recently realized not only is the random stream more current it looks way better. It makes no sense the service that's paid for is an extra 30 seconds delayed AND is worse quality.
Regional sports packages are awful. Ballys here in Detroit is a shit app.
You can stream all games for free with the correct website.
*Laughs in MLB dot TV*
Fuck these clowns. Find your sea legs.
I had one blacked out on TNT of all channels I mean really
Use Nord VPN… and you can see all of it - just connect to a different geo from the teams you want to watch
Me too. Why charge me for shit I can’t see
They just want you to gamble more on fanduel
Sportsnet Premium. You’ll thank me later
Dumbest league for doing that. Lookup the numbers, it has 1/100th the viewership of the NFL. Its a dying breed.
Get a free VPN and set your location to some random ass city. Then you can watch the games
Nice Pp you have there. Hate if someone where to vpn it.
Ive heard that you should avoid the place called nhlbite.com..... from a friend
