I don't write about hockey all that much here, but I remain a strong Bruins fan, despite no longer living within the team's broadcast area, and subscribe to whatever means necessary to watch all the games. We get the level of cable TV that includes NHL Network, and our cable also includes ABC, ESPN, and TNT, all of which sometimes get games; then we also subscribe to ESPN+ for all games that are not nationally televised. We are covered.
Or, as it turns out, almost.
The league, in its infinite wisdom, considers the part of Florida where I live to be home turf for the Panthers, even though it's a two-hour drive away. Thus, the games are blacked out from watching through the ESPN+ app. We have to get the games the way Panthers fans do.
And how is that? Well, via local TV stations, except that instead of getting that channel through cable, the closest one broadcasts games via something I don't fully understand, but that requires an antenna to get. Or, I could subscribe to the Panthers streaming service, which this late in the season is marked down to only $24.99.
For one game? I don't think so, thanks. I would pay a dollar, or let's say as much as $5 to watch this one game, but I do not want it $25 worth.
So, tonight Mom and I will watch a game from last night. It seems the last-place team in the league, Vancouver, beat the top team in the league, Colorado, by a score of 8-6. Sounds like an entertaining game!
