On a bit of a whim I decided to subscribe to Sportsnet+ this season through the Amazon Prime app instead of the Sportsnet app, and the video quality even on that seems better than what I've experienced over the years of using the Sportsnet app. Significantly less of a delay between the live game and the broadcast too.

I hate that all the broadcasts are split up right now but once the the current TV deal expires if Amazon can somehow secure a massive streaming deal at least I'd be all for that.

Amazon have got some of the champions league football here in the UK and they’ve been pushing the fact they have some new technology that cuts the latency.

This wasn’t where I initially heard it, but it’s mentioned in this report

www.tvbeurope.com

'Under 10 seconds latency' and ML-created highlights: Prime Video is ready for Champions League kick-off - TVBEurope

Prime Video is using low-latency technology across "the majority of devices", delivering live action from grass to glass in under 10 seconds, which it claims is faster than cable or satellite television

My amazon feed was choppy - it jumped around. Almost unwatchable. Tried it a few times thru the evening. I went elsewhere where it was better/normal. I'm traveling so that could be a factor.

Lowest goals for in the first 6 games of the season during the Matthews-Marner era

Stolarz has kept goals against to 2 or less in his five games ...

Snippets (maybe almost meaningless) of tiny sample size that stood out at a glance
Tanev is leading the league (playing more than 1 game) with 11.82 blocked shots/60 (probably the least surprising)
Marner is 3rd in Takeaways/60 (playing more than 2 games) with 4.60 takeaways/60
McCabe & McMann are tied for 5th in the league in +/- with +7
Nylander is 5th in faceoff win% with 68.2% (10 or more faceoffs)

If you were on hotel wi-fi, that would explain it.

The game last Monday between the Habs-Pens was broadcast in HDR, last nights game was not.

The stream last night on the overall was very good. There were a few times the quality went down to about three pixels but it only lasted a couple seconds each time. Last weeks game I did not notice any issues with the stream. Maybe it was just an issue with the amount of people watching was more than anticipated.

I thought the broadcast had a very "I am watching this on an American Channel" type feel to it. Not necessarily bad, but different for sure. The play-by-play crew was great and was a breath of fresh air.

Will see if these are just teething issues with this being Amazon's 2nd game. The Leafs are on Prime again next Monday vs. the Jets.

Yes traveling was the factor, my feed at home was almost flawless, very well done.

We haven't given up more than 2 goals in a game outside of empty net goals. That's impressive.

Twice the picture quality went down for about 5 seconds but overall the stream quality was fantastic. Sharp picture and I think it was a really solid flow to following the action. A few neat camera zooms on scrums along the boards that I hadn't seen before on our usual broadcasts

I 100% thought the same thing. I got the "this feels very American" vibe when I was watching. There are some small indicators of this like when they were talking about the Leafs record as "three up and two down". Really odd phrasing. I really like Gord Miller and Mike Johnson so I'll say the play by play was fine. By far my favourite thing about the broadcast was seeing Mats. Definitely gonna pick up his book at some point.
 
Pretty sure this is on purpose: Willy going tarp off for every post-game scrum this season.

Sound and visual quality were miles ahead of what Sportsnet is capable of. I mean Amazon's obviously a streaming giant so that shouldn't be too much of a surprise. I maintain it'd be great if they could take a big chunk of the next Canadian broadcast deal. Maybe TSN and Sportsnet fight for TV rights while Amazon gets streaming rights.

100%, Sportsnet App is okay, TSN App is trash but Amazon stream picture and sound were way better. I would welcome more Amazon streams.
 
It's not even subtle how biased the league is. That was a minor penalty and has no business being a fine play.

Parros can't get over that fight
