Wisconsin Hockey, Vol II: Rebuild, Refresh, and Renew!

Re: Wisconsin Hockey, Vol II: Rebuild, Refresh, and Renew!

I happened to look at this week's notes for the NMU series, and for the first time noticed that apparently all of the games televised on a regional Fox Sports network, Wisconsin channel, and the "American Sports Network" (?) will also be on "streamable" on BTN2Go (not BTN Plus). Does this mean "free and live" with a BTN cable subscription and a streaming device? Did anyone use this option for the Friday Boston College game?

From the BTN app it doesn't show BTN Plus for either of the games for this weekend. Maybe it will show up later though.

They had that in place last year as well. It's great for those of us living out of state, especially now that I actually want to watch every game.

That's happened the previous events this year. The Bball game vs plattville wasn't up on the schedule until I think the day of.

Thanks for posting, I was curious how things were going for him. Of course best wishes to MM, unless he's playing a team from WI.

He has his son Ben as an assistant. I believe he took that job ala dick bennett to get his son a coaching gig when he moves onto something else in a year or two.

Yup, no TV coverage means BTN Plus ($) is the only way to go.

You'd think BTN+ would be a free app if you have BTN in your home; after all in most cable/satellite packages, you have to pay more to get BTN. I subscribe to NHL Center Ice and get NHL.TV at no extra charge with DirecTv. Kind of a different scenario since NHLCI is a 7+ month pay-per-view. Still a ****ing money grab by the B16.....who do they think they are, the NFL?

The same organization that is trying to shove Friday Night Big Ten Football down everyone's throat. I mean seriously, you're the freaking Big 10, not the MAC or Ohio Valley. Play on Saturday like a big-boy conference is supposed to.

Sorry for the non-hockey rant/take. Thought it fit into the discussion on the money grubbers at the Big 10 office.

Very stupid. I had a group of 4 I was trying to fit into the 2nd tier as low as possible, but could not go into a spot of 5 that was perfect. Really dumb.

The money grab greed is starting to back fire against the NFL.
