Honestly, before I happened upon it looking for streams this year, I have never really used Reddit for anything at all.
During the season, I would just type "flames vs x stream" and usually the top result had a few different links. Sometimes they're decent. Sometimes they're complete garbage. There were some games that would literally stop to buffer EVERY time something exciting began to happen. A slap shot wind up...freeze. Powerplay chance...freeze. JG pulling sweet dangles... freeze. And then freeze during the replays too. But then during regular play it would flow just fine. Super annoying. I'd watch the whole game and feel like I hadn't seen any of the action.
As soon as I started using those Reddit links, I was wondering why I wasn't having those same problems. So we'll see once the winter rolls around. Although I'll be in Van next year, so Gamecenter might actually make sense for me.

Yeah that's what I was expecting. So far these playoffs have been phenomenal, to the point where I've caught myself trying to use the Shaw TV remote to pause the game cause I fully forget it's streaming but that's easy when there's designated NHL streams of the games.
O'well we'll see I guess. If the Reddit streams don't work and there's no passable alternative I guess I'll go to one of the cable companies for a new customer rate for the hockey season.
