I suppose I get some of the outrage, but ESPN+ is way cheaper ($70 annually compared to $150+ per season) than NHL Center Ice/NHL.tv/etc were, and those packages never included the vast majority of playoff games because they've always been on national cable in the US and nationally televised games are always blacked out.
This comes from a hardcore fan who has spent 25 years cheering for the Flames on foreign soil...to me, ESPN+ was welcomed as a better platform that also includes other sports at a big discount on the prior options.
With a lot of cheap ways to watch the various cable networks, it seems a bit harsh to give up on the NHL over this, but to each their own.
