I'm lucky to already have Prime, but it really annoying that they keep spreading out what is required to watch games.

At least no top up payment on top of just having Prime.

Go on everyone, give Jeff Bezos your money for free shipping and Oilers games :)

Hockey isn't a sport anymore. It's a complex marketing vehicle that relies your nostalgia and emotions. This is all fine, we just need to be honest about what we're paying for, watching, betting on, and getting emotionally invested in. Don't like it? Tune out. Vote with you dollars and time. The alternative is tacit support of these hoops we're jumping through to see the OEG's most valuable property. We know how it's going, the Oilers are only going to get more difficult and expensive to watch. As the great Oscar Gamble said, "They don't think it be like it is, but it do".

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

Reminds me of 15 years ago or so where they had, if I recall correctly, 8 games a season on PPV access only, and it was $19.99/game? I don't recall the exact details of it but I remember many of us being pissed off about it back then too and that it was almost a guaranteed loss when the Oilers played a PPV game.

Yeah I remember those days. I think because I was already out of market I got those games "free" with as I was already paying for NHL Center Ice.

Now I'm forced to use the Sportsnet app, which is complete crap compared to the NHL app. Can't choose which feed and the streaming quality is laughable by comparison.

I will say, Amazon blows Sportsnet out of the water video quality wise. Maybe it'll make SN spend more than $5 on their infrastructure. Kids streaming video games from their parents place have better video quality than Sportsnet.
