Rumors and whispers have been prevalent throughout the NHL season that FanDuel Sports Network is nearing its end, and on Thursday it was made official as the lenders to network owner Main Street Sports Group completed the paperwork to cease operations at the conclusion of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The problem first became apparent in March 2023, when the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, leading to the departure of several professional sports teams that had used them for their game broadcasts. However, in January 2025, they came out of bankruptcy and immediately rebranded themselves from Diamond Sports Group to Main Street Sports Group.

What broadcast options could the Carolina Hurricanes pursue next season?

Since the Carolina Hurricanes’ first season, they have been broadcast through several iterations of the company, beginning in 1997 when it was still Fox Sports South.

They enter uncharted territory for the first time in Carolina, as they must secure a broadcast plan before the start of next season – which is expected to start earlier than usual as the NHL adopts an 84-game schedule.

The most obvious option they could take would be to broadcast through Victory+ or Scripps Sports, as many teams did during Diamond Sports Group’s bankruptcy saga.

Both Victory+ and Scripps Sports are consumer-friendly compared to FanDuel Sports Network, with Victory+ being a free, ad-supported streaming network and Scripps Sports’ annual package priced at $69.99 USD for only team-specific streaming apps, such as Nighttime+ (Vegas Golden Knights) and Panthers Plus (Florida Panthers), and free over-the-air broadcasts on local stations.

In addition to those two, the Hurricanes could also broadcast through MLB, as the Detroit Red Wings have decided to do.

While it seems almost certain that local fans will have to watch the Storm via a different streaming outlet next season, there is at least hope that it could be more cost-effective than FanDuel Sports Network’s $189.99 annual streaming price tag.

從形狀的角度來看，滑塊和指關節曲線基本上保持不變，而Cease本賽季迄今為止對後者的投擲稍稍用力（+1.7英里/小時）。兩個投球之前都取得了非常好的成績，尤其是塞斯的陀螺滑塊，他會告訴你這是他最好的投球。因此，看到這方面沒有太大變化也就不足為奇了。

然後我們引入了完全改進的變速。現在，要理解為什麼這是一個如此巨大的發展，你必須了解塞斯作為投手的工作原理。

他是一個天生的旋後肌，這意味著，作為一個投手，他會自然地旋轉前臂，因此手掌在釋放時向上/向內，從而產生手套側的運動。這種「旋後偏向」會導致高旋轉、大範圍的投球，如曲球和滑球，但也會導致開發良好的沉降球、變速球和分離球的困難。

在這段與 Rob Friedman（投手忍者）合作的影片中，可以追溯到幾年前，Cease 討論了他當時極其緩慢的變速，以及想要學習 Kevin Gausman 分流器的握力。後來他放棄了這個想法，因為他在投球時始終無法正確握住握桿並內旋。
