Shift-4 Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM thanks for headsup @Goalie29 I was just about to close my Prime membership. I ain't watching a damn thing on the platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastExpress Posted Tuesday at 09:20 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:20 PM I think it might be better. Perhaps they will have alternate audio where you just hear the ice level sounds and the crowd! Experience the intermissions the same way as Live? No bullshit pundants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only on Season 2 of The Boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted Tuesday at 11:33 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:33 PM One home game. Hope they have the same or better play by play team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted yesterday at 01:31 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:31 AM Not a fan of the Prime thing. Kind of reminds me of the pay per view days. Why isn’t Sportsnet handling it all? Those are pretty important games that will have good viewership. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might actually lead to better local coverage, I can't stand having to listen to edmonton homers like Singh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Rogers who will be even more Leaf, Blue Jays, and Raptors heavy after purchasing a stake in MLSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted yesterday at 02:57 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:57 PM Well that's absolute bullshit. I watch every single game but...guess not any more. Don't force me into subscriptions I don't want. This sucks donkey balls. And people like my Dad (senior) will get totally left behind soon. Sure, technology blah blah blah but with so many platforms soon it'll cost us a fortune to try to cover all the bases. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't force me into subscriptions I don't want. This sucks donkey balls. Prime is very common in US. Very few people I know don't have access to it. Wife doesn't have it, but she uses my account, for example. With regards to the game, perhaps wait and see if there is a free trial period. Sign up, watch the game, then cancel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnstorm Posted yesterday at 03:12 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:12 PM Amazon continuously offers free trial memberships to the Prime program. I was never a member and anytime I ordered from Amazon they offered me a trial period of Prime which included free expedited shipping, Prime Video, Prime Music and reduced pricing on items. In the last 3 years I’ve had about 9 months of free service. I recently signed up for $11 monthly as there (imo) is some decent programming to watch. Lots of historical programs, LOTR’s and Rings of Power which has improved significantly from the first season. If anyone investigates it shouldn’t be difficult to get a free ride for those games. I believe they are timing this for the holiday season because people will be gathered and looking to fill holidays during the winter when stuck indoors. It’s likely they will put a lot of new and interesting shows up during that period to entice paid subscriptions . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple tv did this I think with the Friday night mlb games. I cancelled my Rogers streaming and won't be going back after the shit show homerism they pulled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colt 45s Posted yesterday at 04:27 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:27 PM Work for Amazon. Good for the company doing this. But, I will still watch most of my games on ESPN Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6of1_halfdozenofother Posted yesterday at 06:06 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:06 PM I want to find the French feed for the Habs game. Does RDS still have the French broadcast rights for Habs games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted yesterday at 09:59 PM Share Posted yesterday at 09:59 PM Amazon with the little trial run here? I have prime so personally not an issue - can appreciate how others would be impacted though. Seems like they’re trying to entice some people into a one month trial. Understandable from their POV but strange that Canucks/Sportsnet would go for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable from their POV but strange that Canucks/Sportsnet would go for it. I'm curious what will happen if games start being shown all over the place. Isn't that was Centre Ice was for, so you can see all the games? I'd hate to get multiple subscriptions to different streaming sites for games. My real fear is $110 just for internet and like 10 streaming services at $20 a month. That's worse than cable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Lamora Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Cool. I’ll be expecting a significant upgrade in picture and sound quality compared to Sportsnet. Sportsnet has gone so cheap in recent years between the very poor local sports radio talent - not to mention moving towards Toronto-centric programming - and the underwhelming broadcast quality.

-dlc- Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago My Dad's a senior and they really aren't providing basic services for seniors any more. Sad that the world is leaving him/them behind....on fixed incomes, they can't afford to add on services, etc. Nor do they want to. They'll lose him as a fan unfortunately because he doesn't care enough to go through the hassle. Eventually, some will just lose interest and not bother. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
