Pay for cable or a streaming sports package and they block out games...good business model.

Meanwhile there is a website that shows every game for free, both teams feeds...there are tons of viewers on this site and sites like it every night but they aren't being counted as viewers...likely skews young too.

If the NHL wants viewers they should maybe allow people to watch games they are willing to pay for and make it easy.... because some rando in Macedonia figured it out.
