Blackhawks vs Blues on Oct 7. Sportsnet has it
Okay so maybe I'm wrong but isn't the puck drop time different for season openers? Trying to figure out if I need to book the evening off work or if it's a late one 😅
Also, SN Now, is that a separate subscription from regular Sportsnet or can you just get the one month? Don't want to pay for a whole year for one game, kinda broke rn. Anyone know if there's usually a free trial around opening night? Would rather watch from the couch with a twoonie's worth of snacks than drag myself to a pub honestly 🏒
Don't laugh but what does "cutting cable" mean exactly? 😅 Is that just people who dropped their TV package and watch through SN Now instead? Asking because I only have the basic Sportsnet app and no clue if the opener will be on there 🙏
Nah no laugh needed Ellie 😅 cutting cable just means folks who ditched cable TV entirely and stream instead, SN Now or the app does the job. If you've got the basic Sportsnet app you should be good for the opener Oct 7, it's on Sportsnet proper. I'm couch + laptop myself, watched theJets opener that way last year... worked fine 💪🙌
You don't abandon your own.
Quick summary for anyone skimming: the opener is Oct 7 on Sportsnet proper, so if you've got the basic Sportsnet app like Ellie, you're covered, no separate SN Now purchase needed for this one. The one thing I'd still double-check is the exact puck drop time on the SN schedule before booking the evening off, they do shuffle openers around depending on the doubleheader. Sample size of one game here, but for a season opener the pub couch question matters more than the table spots anyway. Where's everyone watching? 📊
Numbers > vibes.
