The details are out for the second year of ESPN’s NHL coverage, with more than 100 exclusive games across their affiliated networks and more than 1,000 available online through ESPN+. The broadcast season begins on Tuesday, October 11 with a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals when the Tampa Bay Lightning travel to take on the New York Rangers, before a Pacific Division battle between the Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings.
The 2023 All-Star weekend will be taken by ESPN and ABC this season, while the Stadium Series between the Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals at Carter-Finley Stadium will follow in February. You can find the entire broadcast schedule here.
At the same time, the NHL announced a huge number of start time updates from their previously released schedule. Most of these changes are no more than one hour difference, though a game on November 5 between the New York Islanders and Detroit Red Wings, one on February 25 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and St. Louis Blues, one on March 4 between the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars, and one on April 8 between the Vegas Golden Knights and Stars have all been pulled forward to the afternoon. The full schedule changes can be found here.
With broadcast schedules coming out, it’s time to get excited about the 2022-23 season – the NHL is almost back!
It will be fun once again to watch Barry Melrose fall asleep during his TV segments.
I must’ve missed it. Anyone know why is winter classic on january 2nd this season?
@Don Cherry—Here is what I found –
link to en.wikipedia.org
“Because New Year’s Day in 2023 lands on a Sunday, the game was moved to Monday, January 2, along with the New Year’s Day College football bowl games.[1]”
(And big ups to the LanguageTool plugin for asking if this is referring to the current year, as January 2nd is not on a Monday. To quote Ralphie, albeit out of context, “Oh, Really!”)
Thanks, Mac
I figured it had something to do with the lord’s day.
If by lord you mean Roger Goodell…
ESPN is butt cheeks now
ESPN + proved to be a great deal, but I hope they fix a few things about the interface.
There should be a way to get to the content you want without having to sift through every single stream they have each time. Hockey is usually buried under a bunch of other sports I do not care about.
Also, while being able to pick which feed you want is nice, HAVING to pick which feed you want each and every single time you switch between games is not. You should be able to set a default (home team, for ex.) and then have a way to switch feeds from there.
Use onhockey.tv. Watch pretty much any game you want with multiple feed options.
When Is ESPN going to follow up on the Rachel Richardson racism claim that has since been debunked? They were quick to jump on the story and now that we know that Miss Richardson Is a racist and a liar ESPN has gone cricket’s.
