Well done by Ottawa getting a win earlier vs. Dallas. The Senators Senators have a great chance to end their Stanley Cup Playoffs drought next spring. Tomorrow 'll try to catch Seattle vs. Philadelphia & The Rangers vs. Toronto.

I still get typos on my cellphone. Ugh. OK. So, Fetch T.V. Foxtel, Kayo Sports, & Sky I believe can be used to watch N.H.L. games in Australia & New Zealand.

[stlavin95]

Most of those only have 2 games per week, whereas NHL TV would have every game.

Indeed & not take it for granted. So, ESPN+ will have 3 of the 4 N.H.L. games available to stream later today. The other game will be between the Rangers & Maple Leafs on N.H.L. Center Ice & N.H.L. Network here in the U.S.

it feels weird that NBC doesn't have NHL anymore...and back in the day...NBC also carried NBA games I think

[canflam]

Yes. NBC aired N.B.A. games from 1954 to 1962 & 1990 to 2002. Tbe N.H.L. also has had games on CBS from decades ago.

Breaking News! The N.H.L. has suspended Evander Kane of the San Jose Sharks 21 games for Covid-19 violations.

NHL suspends Sharks' Evander Kane 21 games for COVID-19 protocol violations

The NHL has suspended San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane for 21 games for submitting a fake COVID-19 vaccination card.

The NHL also announced Monday that its concurrent investigation into allegations of domestic abuse made against Kane by his estranged wife, Deanna, could not be substantiated.

“I would like to apologize to my teammates, the San Jose Sharks organization, and all Sharks fans for violating the NHL COVID protocols," Kane said in a statement released by the NHLPA. "I made a mistake, one I sincerely regret and take responsibility for. During my suspension, I will continue to participate in counseling to help me make better decisions in the future. When my suspension is over, I plan to return to the ice with great effort, determination, and love for the game of hockey.”​

Kane will forfeit about $1.68 million of his $7 million salary for this season with the money going to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

Kane had previously been cleared by the NHL in an investigation into allegations made by Deanna Kane that he bet on hockey games, including some against the Sharks.

But the league did determine that Kane violated the COVID-19 protocols. A person familiar with the investigation said earlier this month that the league was looking into allegations that Kane submitted a fake vaccination card. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details weren't made public.

Using a fake vaccination card is illegal in both the United States and Canada, as well as against NHL rules.

Commissioner Gary Bettman said last week that only four players on active rosters hadn't been vaccinated.

Kane had not been around the team since the start of training camp while these investigations were ongoing in an agreement between him and the team.

Kane, 30, is three seasons into a $49 million, seven-year contract. He's with his third organization after being drafted by and debuting with Atlanta/Winnipeg and a stint in Buffalo.

The 30-year-old led the Sharks in scoring last season with 22 goals and 49 points in 56 games.

The Vancouver native has 506 career points (262 goals, 242 assists) in 769 NHL games with the Atlanta Thrashers, Winnipeg Jets, Buffalo Sabres and Sharks.

Evander it’s still under NHL scrutiny for the possibility of gambling on NHL games. Despite having made 15 to 16,000,000 total over the last 6 years , he’s filed for bankruptcy twice. He has other legal issues in progress. He is a self-admitted gambling addict.
