I'll be in Europe during the Stanley Cup Finals. Is there a way to see the games?
Specifically Paris and London. There are U.S. sports-themed bars in both cities, but with the time difference, the bars will be closed by the times the games start. I’m willing to pay, get a VPN, and/or go to a sketchy streaming site. Any suggestions? Thanks hockey fam!
