As someone living in Ontario I've been using the NHL Live service to watch the Flames for years ( ever since I dropped my cable TV service ). It was a bit pricey but overall it was a fantastic service. To get anything close to the equivalent number of games I'd have to sign up for SN NOW Premium at over $100 more than what I've been paying ( despite claims by SN that it would cost the same as last year's NHL Live service ). I'm pretty excited about the upcoming season, but not enough to pay nearly double for an inferior service. If the NHL is trying to grow viewership in the modern streaming era, this is a piss-poor way of going about it.
