So what do we see the bundled price for the streaming games to be...?
Say between say £10 a game and the usual ((too much money in my opinion) £15

Making them somewhere between £140 and £210 not including the playoffs?

I really do think they need to price it keen to get the desired amount of fan base buying into the whole series...

In view of Mike Hicks' comments regarding maximising ice time for the GB guys, am I the only one surprised that Panthers was allowed to sign our #1 & #2 netminders? One is almost certain to have less ice time.

I understand Panthers may wish to trade Whistle, however by that time other teams may have sorted themselves out. Also I'd hope Fox would say thanks but no thanks should we be approached , unless Bowns is offered, which of course is highly unlikely.

I've said the same thing over on social media, would have thought the fair option would be each of the 4 teams should have had 1 or the top 4 british netminders. I presume that would be Bowns, Whistle, Murphy plus one other. not knowing to much about our guy Churchfield, but I presume we will be running with a import goalie such as Duba, so that leaves Coventry as the natural choice for whistle to go to in a Trade, but then you have to ask the question who would Coventry be willing to trade to Nottingham? :!:

I thought it was a shrewd move tbh, could you see Bowns, who has had a bad injury this season, play all those games in a month? I’m not sure he’d have much left in the tank come the Worlds. I think it’s good for GB they’re on the same team tbh.

I am really looking forward to this but I hope that the whole experience is not spoiled by overpricing it.
If it is the usual price of £15 per game with so many games in such a short period I think it will limit the amount of fans willing to fork out that amount.
Even at £10 I would think that fans will pick their games.
It's not as though you can have friends round to share the cost.
I personally think that a one off bundle price for all the round robin games would be sensible, say £30 (like a monthly subscription) and perhaps the semi and final games on an individual basis.
