Quote from Babs on Cleary:
Also rest of the article talking about Alfie and if he will play, pretty much straight class from him on why his decision is taking long... Not sure if he will be able to play a majority of the games but is feeling good. Wish someone else would know when he is/isn't needed anymore... CLEARY!!!

How's NHL gamecenter? I was thinking about subbing to it.

I didn't think it was bad when I've had it. I remember some connection problems during the half lockout season due to the demand but I think it was generally OK otherwise. Only annoying part is blackouts if you don't have cable or such. I get blocked out of like 6 teams being near NYC and then all broadcast games so its annoying at times.
100% not trolling. Just keeping it real.
Been wondering about this too. Are there any special promotions for it or anything?

Game Center Live is fine regarding reliability. I didn't have any issues with it when I was using it. But do not get Game Center Live if you live in the same city as your team. If you do, and you actually want to watch games, you'll have to use a VPN/proxy to log into the service. I did this for a few seasons and it worked sometimes and didn't work other times. Completely dependent on the quality of VPN or proxy that you use, and at that point why not just get a damn hockey streams sub?

Special promos? Lolololololol. I think the most I remember is like $5 if ordered during preseason or free NHL vault. That's about it. They'll probably raise the price again.
Wait, did they change things? All the years I had it, it only does location check when you first load the stream. So you pick a game with proxy on, turn proxy off and then just hit play and it plays perfectly. It'll pause when disconnecting the proxy but you hit play again and it should start and be able to stream normally. Doesn't work for TV blackouts naturally.

I wonder how many people will assume I'm not white.
A good number of people here are using HockeyStreams, and I might jump on board, too.
As for promotions, copies of NHL 15 come with a discount code for $25 off.

All last year I was waiting for it to go to half price during the halfway part of the year.
Never happened.
Then suddenly it started working on XBL without an active subscription.
Chromecast + Hockeystreams is all anyone will ever need.

Quick is right if you want to pay $60 for a broken hockey game to get $25 off. That's your best bet.

yeah how much is that?
$110 for an entire year. And you can freeze your account when you're not using it and keep your unused time.

So what is hockey streams? I'm guessing you can't use it on phones or game systems. I'd love to watch some hockey considering we don't even have cable but I don't think I can find a way to justify over 100 bucks on it.
On one hand I have access to the Hurricanes in my dorm room and at home so I don't really need either. It would just be nice to have when there's no hockey on and/or NBCSN is showing a shitty game (I generally like what NBC has done, but them showing like 20 Sabres games last year doesn't make this decision any easier), so I guess from that standpoint HockeyStreams would be the way to go.
How is Gamecenter compared to Hockey Streams? Hockey Streams provides everything while GCL provides a limited number of random, out-of-area games?

I had Gamecenter the year of the lockout (I think most of us did since it was $50 bucks for the shortened season) and it was pretty good. Starting the game with a proxy on to bypass the blackouts wasn't terrible - unless you wanted to watch the game at night after it was already over. At that point, you'd have to a) start the stream and pause it when the game starts, or b) wait a couple of days for it to go in the archive (it wasn't instant). I don't know if that changed the past couple seasons or not. Hockeystreams allows you to watch it remotely from your comp via Chromecast or something, it is on their website. Hockeystreams will also put games up ASAP to watch, right?
I think I was able to watch nationally broadcasted games by setting my proxy to London or some random country in Africa. I could be wrong about that... or it only worked some of the time

Hockeystreams puts up the VOD right away. I remember going back and watching highlights when we were giffing things.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
All up in Hockeystreams this year then. Is there a best time to register? ie, cheapest
There needs to be a Soccerstreams for EPL and Liga......

That's not a bad thing. I just wasn't sure because nobody accused you of being a Forza alt or made you state your allegiance.

Well it's bad thing insofar as the Hurricanes kinda suck, but it's okay.
The only crap teams that garner you any hate to be a fan of in here is the Red Wings and Leafs.
If you're a fan of the Islanders, Canes, Blue Jackets etc, you're adored.

Pretty sure Pens fans have a rough go of things too.
Can't deny it though, fans of hard luck teams like me get extra points for loyalty and toughing it out.

Maybe sooner then you think!
Worth noting that this year GCL in Canada will have far fewer blacked out games for most people. All the nationally televised games (including HNIC) will no longer be blacked out, and if you subscribe to a Snet regional cable package you also get your local games on GCL too depending on your cable provider. Not including the teams that have a local TSN deal, presumably.
Does anyone know why TSN split up it's remaining NHL properties between the three new channels? Just for easy scheduling? To make the bundling look less objectionable to the BDU's? Even jammed full of golf and tennis right now those are five sad, empty channels right now. I ca t imagine how hard they'll be pushing the raptors this winter damn.

How did it go? Mine starts Sunday..my legs are going to be shot after a few butterfly and recoveries.
I only played once last season, so I essentially didn't play since May 2013... Was really weak on my skates, missing a lot of stability from muscles that don't get used in everyday life.
Im sore as heck today, have another game Friday and Tuesday, they really ramped up how many games we get this season. Ill probably be playing around 30-40 games depending on how we do in the Playoffs.
