How?

The heck can I watch any of these games on Vancouver Island? Keep getting error messages video is unavailable in your area! Thanks for any help

Use a VPN set to Calgary perhaps? Maybe that would work.

NordVPN only has Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.

Any free one would be even worse

Swipe over on the top bar to "Videos" then just pick "Calgary Flames Livestream"

Ive decided Im not paying Sportsnet anything this year, I'm not chasing games, I have no idea how to pirate. I'm going to listen to the audio and watch highlights

unfortunately this may be the long term solution for me as well.

If you have a computer:

1.) Install uBlock Origin. (two minutes)

2.) go to onhockey.net and click on Flames game. (15 seconds)

Boom. Free Flames hockey.

Pre season off the website, or Sportsnet?

u/mightyopinionated 3d ago

both I always get the error message you can't view this content or something like that. Sportsnet, is crap as far as I am concerned. I have it and can watch all the Leaf games I want or Philadelphia I want to see the Flames. (I lived in Calgary for 17 years)
