I am accessing the NHL tv streaming site geoblocked from a country who has limited interest in hockey (hence no fighting amongst SN, ESPN, etc.). However I have been finding free streaming to be as reliable and, sometimes, better quality.

Trying to access all games has been a nightmare to do through official companies. How’s your experience been?

    Being openly gay is not a political statement.

      What part of being “openly gay” requires the display of gay pride colors? Colors that are very closely tied to the political movement?

      "Flags are political symbols, borrowed from the vocabulary of nationalism, with similar overtones of citizenship, belonging, borders. They represent what the historian Benedict Anderson called “imagined communities”—self-constituted entities, united less by shared experiences than by shared beliefs in shared experiences. " https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2021/06/pride-flag-has-representation-problem/619273/

      Even the designer of the flag considers it a political symbol.
      "According to Gilbert Baker, the designer who, in 1978, first used a rainbow as a symbol for LGBT causes, “For the past almost 40 years, the rainbow flag has stood as a politically powerful, meaningful, and also aesthetically effective symbol.” https://www.letallplay.org/post/yes-fifa-lgbt-rainbow-is-political
