I'm hoping someone with knowledge of these matters can clear this up because yeah, it sucks. And I get thats its one night and 2 meaningless games but still. I'd like to know why.

You are probably right about the no ads thing but that makes the NHL really dumb because as I said there are no shortage of "other sources". You would think they would put it on GCL to promote their product instead of indirectly promoting illegal streams.
