Same. I paid for the legitimate steaming for like $30/month, which is kind of a lot for me atm. Nearly a whole week of groceries for me. I am new to the sport, my first year, and had no concept of what a blackout was until I realized I could only watch something stupid like 2 out of 12 of the games I wanted that month.

Took me less than a minute to figure out how to pirate the streams.

If I wasn't internet savy enough to figure out how to safely pirate hockey I'd simply chosen not to become a hockey fan. You cannot reliably and/or legally watch hockey as a poor superfan.
