Evan’s NHL Daily: Stars Games Now Free, Crosby Extension Close |
Colorado Hockey Now It seems like some NHL teams are making it easier and easier for fans to watch their games. On Monday, the Dallas Stars became the latest NHL team to make all their games available on streaming for free. Meanwhile, Avalanche fans have to order cable or streaming through very specific companies in order to watch the team play on a nightly basis. That’s a little frustrating. I know Avalanche fans still have the dream of Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon playing together in the NHL, but they might just have to settle for these upcoming international tournaments, because it sounds like Crosby and the Penguins are close to a contract extension. Colorado Hockey NowDoes he have a chance to play some NHL games next year? Absolutely, but that couldn’t happen without a contract. That’s now done for Calum Ritchie. News And RumorsFans just want to watch their team’s games and not think twice about it. That’s really how it should be for every team in the league. Instead, you have a team like the Avalanche, where Altitude has been in a constant fight with Comcast and Dish Network for the last six years and no one with either of those cable services can watch the games.
