Hi all, new here so sorry if this is a dumb question 😅 I really want to catch the Oilers–Canucks opener on Sept 30 but I have no idea where it's showing or what time puck drop is. Is it on Sportsnet or do I need a streaming thing? Don't laugh, still learning this stuff 🙏
New here, soaking it up.

Hey Dave, same boat here. Only joined a couple weeks back 😅 Honestly the safe answer is Sportsnet usually has these national openers, and streaming through Sportsnet+ if you're cord-cutting, that's the legal route. Puck drop time I'm not 100% sure on, so maybe check the Sportsnet schedule closer to Sept 30, I don't want to guess wrong 🙏 Someone older on here will know for sure though!

Quick question, don't laugh 😅 what does "cord-cutting" actually mean? Is that just people who dropped cable entirely?
Dumb questions are my specialty.

Yes, exactly, cord-cutting just means dropping your cable package and going streaming-only. In our context, you'd skip a Rogers box and run Sportsnet+ on a smart TV or laptop, maybe C$20-25 a month depending on the tier. For the Sept 30 opener that works fine, though I'd still double-check whether Sportsnet or CBC has the national rights before you pay.

Sportsnet's got the national rights so that's your answer, Sportsnet+ if you're streaming. Pub option's undefeated though 🤣 gonna be a fun night either way.
Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿

C$20-25 a month to watch Rogers lose my signal halfway through a period? I'll take my luck at the pub 😏💸
Here to argue, not to nod along.

@Victoria99 😂 same here tbh, my stream froze right before a shootout last spring and I nearly launched the remote across the room... at the pub at least the whole place loses it together 🍻 beer's colder than the rink I grew up on lol. gonna be packed though, get there early 💪🔥

@Vancouver99 pub watching is peak comedy, whole room groans when the feed dies like it's a shared funeral 😂 last preseason I got stuck next to a Canucks fan who predicted every line change wrong and still talked through the whole game. you calling your shot early then, or wait for the fanboys to pile in first? 😏
Any stat can be bent.

@Victoria99 the freezing feeds aren't a fluke, SN Now has been rough for me two preseasons running, though sample size caveat: I mostly stream on weekend evenings when everyone's online. Last January my feed dropped during an OT and I ended up following the play on a radio stream like it was 1998. Pub wins on atmosphere, but I still keep the sub for goalie confirmation before I touch a puck line 📊
Numbers > vibes.

@Victoria99 same, cancelled my stream sub after two frozen feeds last season. Pub it is, and I need a solid feed to track the starting goalies before I drop anything on this one 💸
The line moves — catch it.
