Which just means that we will have to subscribe to more channels to watch games in the future

Apple should have bought the rights to NHL instead of MLS.

I hope it’s similar to their line brawl game a couple years ago. Entertain the kids

Makes sense. The rangers are more of a Broadway show than an actual hockey team anyway.

Perfect game for a hot mic moment

NHL be like, “alright boys no fighting, no blood, and no profanities”.

Matthews is well known to be a song and dance man so of course he’s gonna be on Disney. The NHL was his backup plan after he didn’t make it on Broadway.
After he comes out during pregame to do the Disney on Ice version of Let It Go it’ll all make sense.

Hopefully they at least censor the trash talk on the ice.

No checking, hitting, fighting, calling each other bad names, shooting the puck too hard, skating faster than other players who aren’t as fast as you, and every player gets the same amount of ice time.

Oh shit that’s today!

According to broadcaster Kevin Weekes, “Hopefully that ends up translating into the broadcast itself because we’re being transported, certainly for me, I’ll be transported into a different world. And more importantly, we want to be able to transport the viewer, the listener, into a different world.”
LET’S GET WEIRD!!

Does anyone know if I will be able to view this on Disney+ in the uk?

My dad doesn’t watch sports but he’s watching this. He also really relates to the grandma from Big City Greens though. I’m excited too! My nephew is ready for it. He’s only watched hockey with me at my parents house. They’re getting the audience they aimed for.

this should have Donald Duck doing color commentary
listening to someone getting roasted by a cartoon character is amazing (looking at you Russell Wilson)

I’ve always heard good thinks about the Nickelodeon broadcast for the NFL, I’m down to see how this appeals to younger kids. I question the matchup they picked though, as Caps Rangers games aren’t the most G rate of rivalries.

Not sure if anyone else noticed. But Saturday or Sunday I was putting on cartoons for my niece. And Amazon prime was showing a couple games.
I never clicked on it or anything. But it was the Devils Canadian game. There was another game on after that too.

Another huge fuck you from the NHL to fans, especially those streaming only. Not a chance I order these stations ever.
What are we up to now, 8 streaming services to have access to every NHL game? Such a slap in the face.

Hi OP, I see you’re responding to many negative comments about the broadcast reminding them that the original broadcast will still be available and they are not obligated to watch the animated Disney version. My question for you is what about this animation appeals to you? Is there something about it that is preferable to watching live action hockey? Genuinely curious.

How are they going to do gambling ads? That’s what the kids want!

What do you search on Disney + to watch it

As an NHL fan, understandably it’s been frustrating dealing with the streaming services, blackouts etc. going on this season don’t get me wrong… but I’m quite surprised to see how upset people are about this event.
Let’s just take a deep breath & remember this animated game….it’s for the kids, the younger generation, the next superstars that could come into this league. The NHL didn’t put this together with the idea of adults being the main audience.
Personally, I know kids who have had no previous interest in watching sports, especially hockey, but have been so excited & talking non-stop about watching this game.
Think back to the first time you were introduced to hockey, you know that was a life changing moment for you. Growing up as a hockey fan has been one of the most exciting things I have experienced. I can’t imagine what life would be like if I wasn’t introduced to hockey.
Is an animated NHL game corny? Sure haha, but I think if this brings in even a few new families or kids as NHL fans it’s a win.
Who knows, maybe the next Gretzky or McDavid type of superstar is out there but hasn’t been exposed to hockey yet. Think about it, where would all of these NHL stars over the years be today if they were never introduced to hockey in the first place.
TLDR: Let’s just remember this is an event for the younger generation to spread the game of hockey. As silly as it sounds watching this animated game it could be the life changing moment for a kid who just wants to go pick up a stick & shoot pucks like they saw the characters do on tv.

Game starts at 7pm EST!
Disney did make the Mighty Duck movies also created our franchise. I wish it was us…. It would make more sense. But Disney has been into hockey before
Micky is dropping the puck.
Still blacked out I’m sure
