The ESPN app lists Hulu as a TV provider when I click on the not-espn+ game
Tried it and it said my Hulu sub wasn't the right one.
Hulu With Live TV is like the YouTube TV's and Sling TV's of the world, if that makes any sense. Regular Hulu is more like Netflix.
I think we need the hash mark and the 4 digit number as well to add you. Mine is Shoeboxjeddy#5661 if you'd like to add me.
Oh sure Mobius is almost definitely a variant, as is B-15. But what about OB? What about Casey? Or anybody else, really. Just one non-variant existing in the TVA would be really interesting (to me, at least).
Whoops, for some reason I thought you specifically said Mobius.
Also Mobius, Oroboros. I see you, writers.
This is OB's second time around (I suspect he will be killed in the past so that they need to send the current one back to fix things) at least for sure. A grandfather paradox that was used in the creation of the TVA the same way they did in Red Dwarf and Misfits.
No success finding you, I will note that it's weirdly case sensitive, so make sure to double check that in your post (I tried a couple of variants and didn't get anything).
Honestly no idea why that didn't work, should be sorted now.

I both pay for espn+ and also have sportsurge or firstrowsports bookmarked for the random penguins games that are not on the streaming service I pay for.
My guess is that the TVA is a cyclical entity and that OB's role is to destroy it to make another one. I mean, he is the TVA, he wrote the book on how everything works, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a section on starting it over again, but maybe it's just not there yet. He has to destroy the thing to keep it alive. Hence the name.
As far as Mobius goes, I dunno; his name implies more importance than just some random variant who had a jetski at some point. I would imagine he plays some role in the persistence of the TVA along with OB, but exactly what I can't even guess.
Though it did cross my mind during the last episode when they brought up New York multiple times, that the vehicles that the Chitauri (and also Loki) rode on aren't terribly dissimilar to jetskis. Maybe he has to ride the time vortex in one each reset and it gets stuck in his head. I mean, we've seen in pretty much every trailer that Loki ends up at a jetski dealership, and I think the assumption we're supposed to take from that is it is Mobius related. It could be a misdirect?
Or it could be a lot more obvious and the name is just a comic reference and nothing to do with his role or importance.

Yes. I think this requires a quick reminder/explainer on how TV rights works, and ESPN's layered broadcast levels.
The networks of Mickey Mouse basically have three "tiers" of showing games.
The first is games that air on national television. Those are the games that are on ABC or the ESPN TV channel. Those are national games, and can be watched on TV by anyone in the US with access to those TV channels.
The second is national games that are streaming on ESPN+ and Hulu. Those games are the same concept as the games on ABC and ESPN, except they are not on traditional TV channels, they are available streaming only. Those games are available to anyone in the United States with access to ESPN+ or Hulu.
The third is the out of market games, which is technically a separate thing, but is in the ESPN+ streaming service marketed as "NHL Power Play." the out of market games allow ESPN+ to show (almost) every game that doesn't air in your local market. There are a couple exceptions to this. TNT games are not available on the out of market service, only on TNT and now MAX. And also because ESPN gonna ESPN, certain ESPN games also stream on ESPN+, but not all. All ABC games stream on ESPN+.
And then there's the oddity of that some national games are also broadcast by the local/regional team, in which case the national broadcast is blacked out in the local market. This doens't happen all the time, but sometimes, and seems to be more a TNT thing.
So I'm going to use a fan in St. Louis an an example of this. If I lived in St. Louis, most of my games air on Bally's Sports Midwest. That is the only way to watch most of the Blues games. If a game is on ESPN on TV, I need to have access to ESPN. If it is a "national" streaming ESPN+ game, chances are I need an ESPN+ subscription to watch it. If it is a TNT game, I need to have access to TNT. If I want to watch, say the New York Rangers games, I can watch most Rangers games through ESPN+'s out of market service, because I do not live in New York.
In practice, it's less complicated than it looks. Basically, most in market games are avaiable on the regional sports network, and you have to have that to watch.
Now, why is that? Regional TV rights are still extremely lucrative. There are some teams that get upwards of $20 million per season just from their regtional TV rights. That's on par with what a team gets as their share of the national TV contracts. The regional sports networks pay a ton of money to broadcast 60+ games of a team, and those rights are fiercely protected because of that.
The market is slowly changing, and it'll get there eventually, but the reality of the situation is that teams still make so much money from the regional TV rights deals that it is absolutely in the team's and the NHL's interested to protect that.
Every morning, any Clue currency past 300 will deplete, leaving you at 300 exactly (or under that if you didn't make 300). Ideally, you want to trade away Dupe Clues to help people get their complete set, while not slowing the completion of your own sets. Giving away your dupes gives you a bit of currency, completing a set and waiting gives you more, and visiting 10 friends everyday gives you the most (since you can reliably do it every single day). So yeah, it is nice to help complete my set and I'll be doing the same as I notice the need.
Also Bally Sports cannot die soon enough and here's hoping things come out the other side in a way that is more streaming friendly
