Je suis plus que furieux à ce stade et je me sens tellement impuissant. J’habite à 3 heures de Buffalo et à 4 heures de New York. Je suis exclu de chaque match diffusé par MSG. Je paie pour ESPN+, Max et je viens d’annuler DirecTV maintenant. Le match d’aujourd’hui n’était pas disponible sur ESPN car il s’agissait d’une diffusion nationale. Alors j’ai essayé Max… Non ! Éliminé de la mémoire. Même histoire avec DirecTV. Comment suis-je exclu d’un putain de match national !?!? Je me retrouve à jouer au jeu sur mon ordinateur portable avec un autre abonnement avec un VPN. Je veux juste regarder un jeu sur mon téléviseur comme un humain normal, mais même en essayant de le diffuser sur mon téléviseur, je me retrouve piégé dans une prison VPN locale. Comment diable cela a-t-il un sens en 2023, alors qu’avant de vivre sur le marché, je dois payer plus pour regarder des matchs parce que je refuse de payer 100 $/mois à une foutue société de câblodistribution pour une télévision que je ne regarderai pas. GAAAAH !!!!

I’m with you there too. Literally living in the city of Buffalo and it’s blacked out not only on HBO Max, but TNT as well on YouTube TV. Astoundingly stupid, I’ll never be able to wrap my head around why they do things like this.
Time to sail the open seas
It’s like the NHL doesn’t want us to watch legally. Infuriating.
I’m in the Hudson Valley and blacked out for national broadcast on TNT and ESPN+. 3 1/2 hours from Philly, 7 from Buffalo. In the NYC market… makes zero sense. No option besides crappy pirate stream. So dumb.
I live in Philly and I’m usually blacked out Flyers games (don’t have Comcast) but I’m watching this on Max
Congrats. Because jeez is this a missable game.
Just get MSG Plus.
We need federal laws against blackouts and requiring that any service licensed to stream a pro sport must carry every single game with no exceptions.
I’m not sure if you heard, but MARKKY also has STREAMS. You should ask him.
I watched on MSG
I feel your pain. I’m a Sabres fan in central NJ, only watch Sabres games, and any games against the Devils, Flyers, Rangers and Islanders are all blacked out on ESPN+. Even if I had cable, there is no way I’d be “in market” for all those games. We do go see them in person when they are playing in Newark, but that’s only once or twice a year. (Happy side note: met GMKA while waiting for an elevator at the game on Friday, and he was so kind to us.)
I actually pay for cable and was thrilled that the game was on TNT since spectrum doesn’t carry msg. I even invited family over to watch it. It sucked so bad when I turned it on at 7 and it was blacked out in Buffalo. I’ve never seen a product (the NHL) that had customers wanting to consume it, but it so difficult to access. Hurting the sport for sure
Does your laptop not have HDMI out?
Blackouts are what caused me to step away from cable and become a pirate.
It’s funny, I just paid off my mortgage this summer, so I thought I would treat myself and finally start paying for my hockey streams. It might be nice to stop using the crazy ad-covered 720p(ish) pirate streams.
AHLTV was a nice pickup. $65 for the entire Amerks season was a pretty sweet deal.
Unfortunately, for the Sabres, ESPN+ still has those stupid blackout rules. So it goes.
As a Devils Sabres fan I’m so fucking done with MSG and Xfinity
Get a hacked fire stick. I couldn’t take this crap anymore. I’ve tried multiple times to pay money and do it right but I’m always stuck with this shit so..
I live an hour from Buffalo and the TNT broadcast was blacked out at my house..like wtf? I guess the only way to watch games this year is the Jack Sparrow method.
Three letters for you. VPN
I would try NHL66. It’s a streaming website. Still trying to find a VPN that’s free and let’s me pick my country so I can stream ALL Sabres games that are blackedout.
Same experience it sucks so hard right now they need to get rid of national broadcast rules they exclude any streaming services. Or we all just need to pay that 5$ for a vpn
