All but 2 Michigan Hockey games to be on TV/streamed

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Been checking BTN Plus every day since they're pretty slow and I found something absolutely fantastic.

Every single Michigan Hockey the rest of the season save the trip to MTU (because what TV crew wants to go there?) will be televised or streamed. There is one game left that has not been picked and that's the Friday night game against RPI but I'd bet on BTN Plus or CN900 picking it up. 

Every B1G game will be televised. Before, they mysteriously had a blank next to their TV indication but I suspected that they would be filled by BTN Plus. I had no idea how committed they were to broadcasting hockey games.

More good news: BOTH games against New Hampshire tomorrow and Saturday will be televised, as well.

I'll say it: I miss going to hockey games at Yost that weren't constantly interrupted by TV timeouts. It was nice getting out of there at a reasonable hour after watching a game that didn't drag.

The Comcast broadcasts are so bad in standard def that I consider those games to be non-televised and usually buy tickets for me and my son and go to those games.
I paid for the BTN Plus for a month to try it and thought it was pretty sweet for the USNTDP game. I thought it was pretty nifty that they used the WTKA radio feed for the audio and the HD quality was really good.
The WL exhibition seemed to be a student broadcast which wasn't quite as good but still better HD than Comcast.

I was able to get most games last year on BTN2Go or Miscellaneous Fox Sports Channel. BTN Plus is $80/yr and that is steeep just to catch a few Michigan games
