Victoria hockey fans: how are you watching NHL games this season?
With another NHL season around the corner, I'm curious what everyone in Victoria is doing to watch games this year.
The streaming situation feels pretty rough these days. If you want access to most or all NHL games, it seems like you're looking at some combination of Sportsnet+, TSN, and now Amazon Prime, and the costs just keep adding up.
I've had Sportsnet+ Premium for the past two seasons and it's been okay, but I'm starting to question whether it's worth renewing. The price keeps going up, and I've also had a couple of frustrating issues recently where Blue Jays broadcasts glitched out on me during the top of the 9th inning before home wins.
For context, I'm a Leafs fan, but I watch a lot more than just Leafs games. I enjoy following teams around the league and usually have games on throughout the season, so I'm looking for a solution that gives decent overall NHL coverage rather than just access to one team.
