I’m excited about the « upgrade » to have it on prime but apparently, not even that gives one the entire season. To watch every game I’d still need at least 2 services (including one that is $75+ per month, which is absolutely not worth it since I’d JUST use it for Kraken games).
Does anyone know how many games of the season I can watch having just Prime and being in Seattle?

People outside the Kraken’s market can still view games on ESPN+. You said you are in Northern Cali so you are outside their market.

Nothing new here… every team has a territory which their local games are broadcast in. You’re not in the local footprint for the Kraken so you’d need an ESPN+ subscription to view the locally broadcast games. Same as ever.
And the Kraken don’t have a say in this; this comes from the NHL (just like MLB and NBA).

Excited to be able to watch kraken games this year without the use of the high seas. I refused to pay for root sports but I already have prime.

Like I’m sorry, but if you’re an out of market fan, NHL with ESPN+ on Hulu is THE BEST DEAL IN SPORTS MEDIA. Hands down.
I don’t understand out of market fans who are miffed about this move for those of us who live here.

I wonder if a VPN would work

So if we are in market we can watch all non national televised games via prime? Oregon is in market still right?

Was just talking about this yesterday 😂 but that’s good for the residents up there. I used to live in WA and it was a pain trying to watch the games using ESPN and VPN combo.

Haha that blows! Where do you live? Are you in market?
It’s a preseason game, very commonly having limited broadcasting across the NHL.
