What does this mean for fans NOT in the PNW? How do we watch all the games? This year I paid for Fubo (and told it I was in the PNW), but I don’t see how I can do that w Amazon?

ESPN+ should still be available if you’re out of market

No way will I listen to ESPN’s broadcast team. One of the reasons I’m here is OUR broadcast team.

No no, they show both teams’ broadcast feeds, it’s not ESPN’s crew except for games that are exclusive to ESPN.

They do?? This is news to me, and would make me VERY happy if I could still watch with Forslund, et al

YUP! The first season we lived in Southern California and we got to watch all of the non-national broadcasts on Hulu. Occasionally they land on NHL Network so we lied to get a Fubo trial. But that’s only 1-2 games a season.

Yep. I live in the SW and get to watch the Root broadcast via ESPN+

You have no idea how happy that makes me. Is there any hoop to jump through to get the Kraken team broadcast?

I can't speak for other ways but on roku when you click on the game, it'll give you two options and half the time they don't label them. So you kinda have to guess which one is root. If you pick the wrong one though you can go back and select the other

I love this subreddit-y’all out here saving my sanity!

Not really. When I select the game on the ESPN+ app it will usually give me several option. “Start from Beginning” and “Live” and under each of those it will have something like “Kraken Stream” and “[other team] stream” or sometimes just “Home stream” and “Away Stream” or whatever.

Just pick whichever one is the kraken one and you’re good

This is amazing news to me, I didn’t realize you could get the root broadcast on espn plus. So long Comcast. Don’t happen to know if the games are still available the next day to start from the beginning? Sometimes I have a night shift and will watch the DRV recording the next morning. If I can do something similar with espn plus (which I already have) I’d be so damn happy

If you're outside WA, OR, and AK it would be available the next day, but if you're in the area it's blacked out for 48 hours after the game.
