It’s great for me being out of market, but they’re being very vague with what games are airing where.

It’s supposed to be basically replacing nhl.tv but other channels are getting more games as well.
Yeah, am I reading that right? All the games that were previously available on NHL Center Ice will be available on ESPN+?

If so I need to hurry up and cancel my NHL.tv subscription.

Yeah, that’s my understanding.

I’m wondering if we need to even cancel nhl.tv as it’s not even an option to buy anymore in the US/is not available in the US any longer?

I called and they said there’s no need to cancel as the service will cease to exist.

I did find this for the blues, who get 13 nationally televised games and what channel to watch…

https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/blues-g ... -326165076

It says the remaining games and their broadcast have yet to be finalized, so guessing those are the ones on local channels (Bally) ,that’ll also be on ESPN+ for peeps out of market?

I'm kinda dumb about this, but does this mean that living in flyover ND, I could subscribe for $12.95 a month and watch almost all Blues games? Or do you have to be a local fan for this?

Seems pretty awesome if the first is the case.

I'm assuming you don't get blues games locally/you're out of market?

if so, yep you just need ESPN+ and you'll get what USED to be on NHL.TV (their out of market service)

if you just want ESPN+ then it's only $7 a month...a great deal compared to the stand alone nhl.tv we used to have to buy.

what we do (and already had) was the bundle of Disney+, ESPN+, and HULU which is $14 a month...so starting this year I don't have to pay anything extra, AND get the out of market blues games?? sounds like a steal for me lol

Yeah, for $13 a month you can get not only most of the Blues games on ESPN+, but also Disney+ and Hulu.

That's a pretty sweet deal. We're already Disney+ and Hulu subscribers, so basically I'm saving $100+ a year not having to get NHL.tv to watch the Blues.

Wow, yeah, I always thought NHL.TV was a bit expensive, but this is better. Not sure Disney and Hulu do much for me, but the Blues games would be great.

And yeah I am out of market (we get the Wild), I get to see the Blues on the NHL Network now, which isn't very often, and once in a great while they are on like NBC.Sports or some such channel.

yep, we already had HULU and when Disney+ came out, they announced the bundle so it's basically the same price to get just HULU and Disney+ separate, as it is to get those bundled with ESPN+ (so basically got ESPN+ thrown in for free)

not to mention, you get all of the "paid" ESPN articles on their website with ESPN+...I would've never bought that by itself, but you get it thrown in for free.

and now I get all the blues games a would have had to pay $100+, for free? I'm happy with this news.

so yep, if you don't want Disney and Hulu, you can just get ESPN+ for $7 a month...and can just cancel it after the season.

so OCT-APRIL is 7 months x $7 is only $49 total (I'm good at math)...we used to have to pay over $100 per season.
