Very interesting. For anyone angry about this deal and thinks it's the RSN extortion model by another name, read this. TL;DR - you're right, it is. Bad for fans, bad for the league, but possibly makes owners more money. https://t.co/2SkeoEzySs

Back up (again).

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

Moar issues. Will work on it more tomorrow. Apologies for the inconvenience.

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

Site is back up. Thanks for your patience.

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

Yes, I’m aware the site is down. Attempting updates, hit snags. Stay tuned.

@richarddeitsch seems weird to pen an article bemoaning Cup finals viewership without acknowledging that this is the direct result of the NHL allowing RSNs to hold the game hostage for years now. If you don’t allow people to watch their local teams, this is what happens.

I’m aware of the timeout errors currently happening - working on it

@SiriusXMNHL @expomick 4. Will the millions of fans who don’t have DirecTV be able to watch in-market games in the next 10 years?

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

@jthom1 neither does anyone that doesn’t have directv.

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

Today we celebrate the start of the 2nd consecutive @NHL season with a massive number of fans unable to watch their home team’s games, outside of the effective DTV monopoly. Millions of fans. Why aren’t more people talking about this? Gag order? #NHL #FuckSinclair

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

hey @jprutherford @jthom1 @lkorac10 @tomtimm - any word on whether or not streaming services will get to watch in-market @nhl @StLouisBlues games this year on @BallySportsMW? or is this a second year of fucking fans? asking for several millions friends.

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

@Doctor_Thomas @StLouisBlues Yes. Just when the memory was finally starting to dull, they come back like herpes. (My apologies to herpes for the insult.)

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

@DannyMacTV @jprutherford @StLouisBlues @LouFuszNetwork @TheHomeLoanEx will you also be talking about how the only people able to watch in-market NHL games are AT&T/DirecTV customers? any update on DSG/Sinclair/Fox Sports and other providers would be greatly appreciated. seems like kind of a big deal, not just STL but nationally.

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

Why did they play the Canadian national anthem when there isn’t a Canadian team playing? The ridiculous insertion of crowd noise is ostensibly to keep the illusion of normalcy, so why do this? Weird. #STLblues

@ScottABR @Sling @FSMidwest @NHL @StLouisBlues What do you use?

[BluesNewsForum.com @BluesNewsForum]

hey @sling and @FSMidwest - are you guys going to work out your differences before the @NHL @StLouisBlues season starts, or do i need to switch providers again?

@StLouisBlues hockey and Slapshot. Show-me’s Fairview Heights has it nailed. @Jkellyhockey @Panger40 @hanson_brorhers #letsgoblues
