I just hope the app is well thought out… The streaming world is filled with poorly designed and poorly functioning applications… This was a huge problem with watching the NHL on ESPN apps or on the Hulu app… It made watching the games a miserable existence. I understand that we’re not going to be able to skip commercials, since this is a free, add supported service… But they really need to have great DVR controls for the rest of the game play.
Excited to see another team joined into Victory+! Hopefully another joins soon (Dallas Mavericks) and that only continues the inertia for the platform and for free streaming of live sports.
I'm curious about the 72 hour window before a game is taken off the service. Was that also true for Bally Sports when they had their service? Or is that just an added wrinkle here because the service is free?
As a “commercial” funded based offering… I hope the broadcast team adds interviews, highlights, and other in depth programming (Traverse City, Training Camp live coverage PLEASE!!!!) for us Star nuts… increasing the reach of those commercial dollars!!!
I'm excited. I'm out of market, but a big Stars fan. I love that nothing changes with my ESPN+ viewing, but there will be Dallas Stars tailored ancillary coverage. I assume it would be the Stars Live and other types of viewing that I will definitely be taking advantage of. It's exactly what the viewing public needed.

that's an NHL thing, basically after 72 hours it moves into NHL out of market package.
