2000s: It's too expensive to play hockey.

Fmhy dot net

Go to the streaming section, then sports streaming. Multiple websites available. Much better than onhockey dot TV imo

Crazy that here in Australia it's easier to get access to the hockey. Every NHL game all season is streamed live on Disney+ here.

u/johnnyirish13 17h ago

Sounds like a good enough reason for me to move to Australia.

So what you’re saying is that you can stream them all for the price of a vpn….

I haven't yet, but the thing is, if you're going to sail The Seven Seas to watch the Sportsnet+ games, you might as well just cancel your sports subscription, and just stay out at sea permanently.

Also, by moving Canadian sports behind a maze of paywalls, all they're doing is screwing themselves in the future. An entire generation is going to grow up not watching sports, and they're not going to suddenly get into it when they turn 20.

Yup. My son plays hockey and we dont watch it anymore.

Subscribe to SN mainly to be able to watch Oilers games, Nope not good enough. OK. Went to Boston Pizza and hopefully they'll broadcast the game in a price of a beer, nope, didn't broadcast to them neither. OK.

So now I'm either going to pirate, or I'm not just not going to watch the game.

You watch, in 10 years stanley cup final will be PPV, 20 years from now we're going to pay just by looking at the Rogers Place sign. Fuck Rogers and fuck all those guys, enough is enough

I went with IPTV last fall and never looked back, that being said I couldn't watch last nights game because it wasn't on any TV channel. Other than that I get every channel in the world for $10 a month.

Leafs fan here. Fuck Sportsnet.

u/ProfessionalFarm4775 11h ago

I have watched every single oilers game for the last three years. Every single one. I haven't had to worry about blackouts, subscription costs, which app or channel is carrying the game. Just open 1 app and watch the game. No fuss. Arr matey. I don't feel bad at all after seeing the shenanigans going on with Rogers

It's crazy to me that I can get the Sportsnet feed on ESPN+ living down here in Los Angeles, and the people living in Edmonton can't see their own team. The greed is insane.

u/Successful_Salt_ 15h ago

Screw them I’m not even watching

u/vivisecting 12h ago

u/eggfarmer1980 17h ago

Tried onhockey and stream but couldn’t get past ads on either

u/Acrobatic-Reindeer88 16h ago

Use brave browser. It’s an ad blocking browser. I use onhockey all the time and it usually works great

8

u/Canapilker 16h ago

Firefox UBlock origin, it works so well. There is no usually!

4

u/Canapilker 16h ago

Use Firefox with UBlock origin. It’s such a robust adblocker. Since using that, onhockey is the best.

Coast to coast buddy, pirating here in Toronto too

u/Needless-To-Say 16h ago

Ive never noticed a game I couldnt watch until last night. 

I presumed it was due to the World Series. 

If it happens again, after the World Series ends I will definitely be right put out.

u/JarvisFunk 15h ago

It has nothing to do with the world series

u/Got_Engineers 16h ago edited 16h ago

I moved to the East Coast and Oilers games are blocked out on Sportsnet. I just recently started sailing the high seas and the quality is 10 times better. They have video history so you can go back to previous days and watch games. For the NBA they have the league pass streams which is just the arena Camera feeds during commercial breaks. Can even restart the live streams. Mosaic player for multiple streams lol. Free Sirius radio player…..paid $80 USD for 6 months and it’s been worth it
