Brock Boeser scores pair as Vancouver Canucks pound San Jose 10-1, handing Sharks worst home loss in franchise history

Canucks scored as many goals this game than Sharks have all season. Poor Sharks. Honestly didn’t know what to expect this game, usually Canucks are quick to hand bad teams their first win, or break their losing streak. Refreshing to see them come out hard and not let up. 7 - 2 - 1 through 10 so far.

    The first season I watch was, what, 94? When we lost the cup to the rangers, still watching. I can only catch the game once in a blue moon, as I live in the UK and can’t justify staying up until 1am for puck drop. So yeah, guess I’m a bit of a masochist…

      I’m also UK based, so I mostly watch highlights as well. Maybe that makes it easier? There are quite a few early games scheduled this year so I may be watching a few more.

        Have you found a legal way to watch the games? Right now I’m using Kodi on a raspberry pi, which is fine…ish. Only real complaint is having to try and find a decent stream, I’d rather pay and just be able to turn it on.

          No, I looked around and there doesn’t appear to be a convenient legal way. You could probably get by with a VPN and a streaming service, but they are well out of my price range for watching a handful of games a year. I haven’t actually watched a game since Lazyman disappeared a couple of years ago. I tried using a betting site last year but it wasn’t worth the hassle. I haven’t tried Kodi yet so maybe I’ll give that a go, I was resigned to using hockey streams.

            As a least worst option I’d recommend it, can take a bit to find a stream that’s functioning properly, but you can get 4k streams with no ads sooooo…

              Where are these HD streams you’re watching? I watch legally using my parents cable login through sportsnet and the streams are fucking 720p1080p. Such a joke.

              *edit The streams are 1080p now I believe.

                Kodi, I have it on my android phone and on my raspberry pi. Not sure if I’ll be allowed to post a link to getting it set up, but a quick search on Google will get you where you’re going. Something along the lines of “(device) kodi sport streaming setup” should lead you to an easy to understand walkthrough.
                Raspberry pis are pretty affordable if you can actually get your hands on one, I’d recommend at least a Pi 3b+ if you’re wanting HD streaming.

                  Thank you. Sportsnet is apparently 1080p so it’s not as bad as I thought. Probably won’t switch to Kodi unless I can get 4k streams reliably.
