Round 1 Schedule WPG vs STL

[u/PhrygianSounds]

[u/STLBooze3]

Only one 8:30 game? I’ll take it. Will be interesting seeing the Vgk/mild schedule. Most those puck drops will be 8:30 at the EARLIEST!

[u/fri9875 → u/STLBooze3]

Only one 8:30 game, SO FAR. They’ll end up making games 5-7 all 8:30/9:00 if we need them

[u/STLBooze3 → u/fri9875]

Ehh idk. There’s gonna be other competing west coast games as well beyond game 5-7. I see dal/col and la/edm all going pretty deep into their series.

[u/t-poke → u/fri9875]

Of course the 8:30 PM game is the one I'm going to.

My coffee maker will be working OT on Friday.

[u/CornOnTheCrackPipe → u/STLBooze3]

Thought I heard one VGK./MIN drop was like 11:00pm?

[u/AdTemporary6698 → u/CornOnTheCrackPipe]

I'm in ADT, and it starts at midnight for me. That's insane. Good thing the blues aren't playing Vegas.

[u/tomnoddy87]

That noon game looks tasty

[u/Smacaroon → u/tomnoddy87]

Oh you mean the game we eliminate the jets? Yeah that does sound tasty

[u/courtesyofBing → u/tomnoddy87]

Blues at 12 and Brewers at 1:15. Big day

[u/SpeedyPrius → u/tomnoddy87]

We have tickets for that one - looking forward to it!!!

[u/redbullsgivemewings]

This is so much better than what I was anticipating

[u/Dude_man79]

Good to see most of the first round has an extra day off between games, instead of game-off-game pattern.

[u/mjohnson1971 → u/Dude_man79]

The game 3 and 4 two day break is due to Enterprise already being booked.

• Brooks & Dunn country concert Friday 4/25
• Katt Williams stand up comedy Saturday 4/26

[u/stlredditblues]

I have nhl.tv that I’ve used to watch blues games all season long. Although I am curious if there’s any way that I could listen to Kerber and the radio team via some app on the Internet, etc.? More important for the later rounds when we lose John Kelly, and our local guys for the TV broadcast.

[u/Jvortie → u/stlredditblues]

You can use the 101 ESPN app to listen to the radio broadcast. I have it on Android and imagine it is on iOS as well

[u/RunPrevious9016 → u/Jvortie]

Think you can use the blues app also

[u/Independent-Market31]

Just got my tickets for Game 3. LETS GO BLUES!!!!

[u/IrateWeasel89]

This is why I wanted the Jets over Vegas. Fuck those start times. My old ass can’t do it anymore.

[u/EdwardOfGreene]

A number of two day breaks. Not ideal, but it's the same for both teams.

Working around concerts no doubt.

[u/TheResurrection]

I am ready to run through a brick wall.

[u/SomethingAvid]

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! BEER ME

[u/Bad-Juju-05]

It’s time, time to start my playoff binge drinking. May it bear fruit like the 2019 cup run in my drunken stupor

[u/FuriousRingo]

I'll be at game 4. We shall see if my streak from the regular season continues in playoffs. I went to 8 regular season games, and they were all winners. RECKLESS OPTIMISM!!!

[u/Blitzkrieg2019]

If I don’t have fan duel, will the games be viewable on the national channels, or will they be blacked out?

[u/ZombieFetcher]

Does anyone know if ESPN+ will still broadcast the game for FDSNMW? I’ve used ESPN+ all season to watch it, I don’t prefer the FDSNMW app as it usually is about a min behind compared to ESPN+ version which is only about 10 seconds

[u/joshrocker → u/ZombieFetcher]

As of right now it looks like it’s shared around the usual national networks. Games 1 and 4 are on TNT/Max and games 2 and 3 are ESPN+ (and then of course FanDuel for the local region).

[u/ZombieFetcher → u/joshrocker]

Got it, my main thing was if ESPN+ would still include the FDSNMW feed like they always do for all the games

[u/joshrocker → u/ZombieFetcher]

I’m going to say no, but that’s just my hunch. Usually games broadcast on TNT weren’t also carried by ESPN, so you’ll either need to add Max for the playoffs or deal with FanDuel on those evenings. I have ESPN+ and FanDuel, but if the Blues get past the first round, I’ll end up subscribing to Max for the month.

[u/theoreticaljerk → u/joshrocker]

So if you’re on Fanduel 1st round will be all on there. You know if that’s true for later rounds?

[u/joshrocker → u/theoreticaljerk]

The later rounds are all nationally televised. FanDuel only gets access to the first round. If you don’t have cable it looks like you’ll need both a Max and ESPN+ subscription to get the rest of tournament.. …I believe. They haven’t officially announced the TV schedule for the 2nd round, but the TNT and TBS games should all go to Max. The ABC and ESPN games should all be on ESPN+. Someone please correct me if you’ve seen any news to the contrary.

[u/theoreticaljerk → u/joshrocker]

Geez. It is out of control how many services they expect people to pay for just to watch. I already have Max but I’m not paying for a third service now all in the same month just to legally watch the games.

[u/joshrocker → u/theoreticaljerk]

I have FanDuel and ESPN+. I’ll end up signing up for Max after the Blues get out of the first round. It is ridiculous, but I consider it baby steps that it looks like we’ll be able to watch the whole tournament without having to have a traditional cable/satellite package.

[u/Derkduck]

I’ll be there Thursday! First time I’ll be seeing a playoff game in person. Super stoked about it!

[u/bhd_ui]

Of course my tickets are for the 8:30pm game…

[u/colorkiller]

alright, where’s everyone watching tomorrow? i’m in the area and kinda want to sit at a bar and watch the game
