It’s like buying a lottery ticket. You pay so you can look forward to maybe watching the game… only to find out at game time it’s blacked out if you’re region/you picked losing numbers.

I hate it. All I want is to pay someone X amount of dollars every year and be able to stream my team from Game 1 to the end of the season. I’m not greedy. I’ll even pay extra for the playoffs.

Yes, everyone feels that way. The NHL doesn’t care should become a pirate.

If you’re paying for SportsnetNOW *Premium* then they’re having a problem on their end (like today they can’t reliably stream 4 games simultaneously to me as they advertise, two max streams for me otherwise it’s lag & stutterville)
If you’re only paying for regular SportsnetNOW then NHL regional restrictions do apply.

All the broadcasts are working for me. Are you signed into premium?

Stop paying for it. There are multiple pirate sites that are really really great. This isn’t 2010, pirating is easy. Don’t award a league that doesn’t care about its fans.

That’s why I stream games. I’d gladly pay $30, even, $40 a month if it meant watching games I want, preferably in 4K, but if the league doesn’t want my money, that works for me too.

Cuz you’re a sucker?
I pay $5/month for a VPN and sail the high seas of piracy. I can watch any game at any time.

Why ARE you paying for it?
Goofyahhhuncle723
quick question, why ARE you paying 30 bucks for that? ESPN+ is cheaper I think.

I have TSN and Sportsnet and still can not watch a lot of games I am interested in…
nottostirthepotbut
Everyone is talking about this but I’ve yet to see blackout all season.
Is this team specific? Or city specific?

We just canceled ours, I’m never falling for that bullshit ever again.

Sportsnet NOW is so much worse then NHL Gamecenter was too.

See @snNOWsucks on Twitter , it’s been years since it’s worked properly

I stopped paying. It’s absolutely garbage
Laser-Nipples
Yeah, why are you? There are other options.

What game was that? I have SN Now all season and haven’t had any blackouts yet
es_80
I get that error message even when I am in my proper region from both SN and TSN

Had it for one season – never again. Same with TSN.

I tried all the leagues and got this. Since I have had Fubo I haven’t run into this

I’ll make you a killer deal… you give me the $30 and the minute the games over I’ll kick you in your balls as hard as I can and tell you who won… this offer won’t last though.

Gary Bettman needs to go.

Never thought I’d say it. MLS deserves to overtake the NHL in top 4 team sports in the US and even though hockey is my sport I hope it does.

I could go on and on about the issues I’ve had with SNnow I got rid of it waste of money

STREAM. I paid for center ice and I’ve paid for NBC app before. Both not only had blackouts, but they would regularly run in terrible grainy quality or skip all the time or the app wouldn’t load. I would stream a lot anyway still. Halfway through both of those seasons I have to and went back to streaming. Free, no commercials, 1080p, no blackouts, and you can watch on any device (plug tablet or laptop into 80 inch TV is how i do it, then sit on my couch with wireless keyboard and mouse).
I tried to give them my money, but it was such a terrible product I didn’t use either for probably more than 25% of the games I wanted to watch
DarkTrebleZero
Seriously, folks…pirate the games and find the streams online. These apps are garbage, everything gets blacked out, and the NHL is one of the worst offenders. Screw them and don’t give them another single penny.
