The Vegas Golden Knights have launched their own direct-to-consumer streaming platform — KnightTime+.

[Coconuts]

Seems like a good price, about $95 Canadian for the bulk of a season's games, as an organization that's a contender and who just won a cup no less. I wonder if other teams will do something like this if they aren't already. 

 

Also, nice.

 

 

 

[DrJockitch]

As someone who lives in Canuck’s blackout land I would love this. I don’t want to pay for the Sportsnet premium streaming package. 
I only really have a chance to watch the Canucks. 
I think Football is terrible, baseball and soccer bore me.

I got tired of paying for TSN and Sportsnet just to get the main thing I want to see blacked out.  
I would gladly pay just for a Canucks only package. 
It is very easy to stream games for free at high resolution but I would prefer to pay reasonably.

Too bad the Canucks abandoned our board because I will happily put it out there for them, I will give my money directly to you Mr. Aquillini. Cut out the middle man that just gives me a bunch of crapolla I don’t want. 
And this is after 10 years of just awful management decisions and some awful hockey teams. 

[Canuck You]

Well we used to have PPV, I can see it coming back.

[aGENT]

Wonder how this works with the league's broadcast rights...?

Rogers will not let that happen.

Yeah because would cost me $300 just to watch Canucks through Rogers. 

[Jess]

I feel like there's no chance that nice wasn't intended.

[Rubik]

now that the Canucks organization has cut ties with us, are we allowed to mention arrrr-arrrr streaming on here?

Was thinking the same thing. There are like 66 NHL streaming sites, errr, maybe just the one that works...

I don't give the Canucks a dime, haven't paid to watch them in years. But yeah, if there was a very reasonably priced way of watching it I'm sure many would consider such an option.

I don't see why not, but I'd be asking the mod squad.. 

 

I used to send the odd site when folks were having trouble watching in GDT's..

Agreed, but this is a great business move for them and I hope it's successful. If they can make money off it so could other teams, better than paying for a bloated sports package.

I would pay the Canucks to have a player wear that number and I haven't paid them for anything in years

I'll never understand why they don't just play the commercials on the stream.  I'd imagine they'd get more views, which should be their goal.

Took me 67 trys to find the pre-season game yesterday.  66th try didn't pan out.

Same here, it's outdated thinking of how to protect your market. Just let people stream and stream the commercials as well. Since they don't seem like they are close to doing that, I use Game Center, but I register it in another country (UK for example) and then pull it in from there.

Okay, so here's how I get around this problem, what I'm telling you here, although would likely piss off Rogers and the NHL, it should be covered under a legal precedent called First Sale Doctrine. This isn't free, and I haven't setup my season pass for this year, but this worked perfectly for the last 2 seasons.

 

You will need, a Paypal account and a streaming device that is Non-GPS based. iPad and most cell phones won't work with this due to the GPS embedded in them. Amazon sells some nice little mini PC's for roughly $200 that would work as a streaming platform, but you can easily do this with any laptop or desktop etc.

 

#1. Register for an account with ExpressVPN. I'm not sending a affiliate link or anything on this, but so far, this is about the best service I've tried for this. You need a service like this active before step 2.

#2. Go to NHL.TV. This is the version that lets you register for a different type of service than is offered in the regular NHL Gamecenter site in North America. Register here, I use England as my country of registration and pay for the service either monthly or for a whole season, your choice, using Paypal. You will be paying the service in the currency of whichever country you use.

 

Once done, anytime you want to watch, just fire up the VPN, switch countries, then go to NHL.TV and login and select which game you want to watch. This all costs the same as getting Game Center in North America, other than the VPN service, that's really the only add-on you need.

 

Enjoy and DM me if you have any issues.  

[Snoop Hogg]

What streams in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

[Junkyard Dog]

If they suck this year I guess it will help put fans to sleep.

[Beni]

I like the idea

 

but with how often i'm stuck only listening to games on the radio I couldn't justify it.

 

The rest of the time.... I use an alternative method to watch online.

Same as you guys, I live out of province so I couldn’t watch games. Last couple of years though I bought Sportsnet standard subscription, $180 this year I think, and I just VPN my computer or phone and pick my location as Vancouver and it works great.
 

I can either hook my laptop up to the tv or I use a VPN on my iPhone and cast it to my apple box, hooked to the tv. No issues watching as many games as I want and $180 isn’t too bad when you divide it by the number of games. I watch a lot of Dodger baseball on Sportsnet all summer so it makes it worth it.
