I am not on NHL's speedial, so likely my thoughts will not go beyond this post, but like others have mentioned, it used to be one stop location for your NHL. Now, they break off parts of the television games to all their partners, and when you think you have one subscription to rule them all - ESPN+, you don't because those games are on other providers that you have to shell out extra for. I would rather they set up a ANNUAL PASS mentality that allows you to view ALL the games on one platform rather than spread over everywhere.
A second beef is the NHL's blackout policy. I miss the days when Blackout only meant the local city in an effort to get people in the area. That I totally agreed with! Take my current location, Phoenix ... When Coyotes were here, they blacked out the AZ games - totally get that and I respected that. Now that Coyotes have moved and there is no team, it would be awesome marketing if you didn't black out any games ... instead, since the Coyotes have moved, I am blacked out of all VEGAS KNIGHTS games, and all UTAH HOCKEY CLUB games. That doesn't even make sense.
I could go on, but like we know - nothing will come of anything the fans say it is all about the almighty $$$.
