When you grow up watching playoff hockey every night every spring, it is hard to get used to not doing that anymore. So far I've only been able to catch some of the Sunday afternoon games on NBC and it just ain't the same. Don't mean to whine, but I'm sure there are some Canadians on here who know what I'm talking about. crying.gif

DIRECTV offers an NHL package that shows most of the season't games. You can try to give them a call.

I have versus, so able to watch them!! yahoo showed of the first round games online for FREE!! They show 1-3 games a week for free online during the regular season, but I think you and I already discussed that,lol ( I seem to recall ur on dial up) otherwise another option may be to get the centre ice online package!! BUT last year after the first round they didnt many games!! I complained and got my $50 back!!

I'm a girl and I love rugby but I still think watching ANYthing every night is a bit full-on wink.gif

I miss Hockey Night in Canada, and watching the Blue Jays. Oh, and TSN's curling coverage and coverage of figure skating.

Completely understand where you are coming from, Joe!

Once Im complete with school, think i wil buy me a Slingbox and set it up on my parents system back in Saskatoon, thus I can get good old Canadian programming for free! The slingbox itself costs around $300, and of course one has to have high speed internet on both ends!!

I think you have to be a hockey fan to understand it. smile.gif Well, as I got older and got jobs I watched it every night that I could but when I was younger I watched it every night. It's a Canadian hockey fan thing. And I miss it. sad.gif

Yeah I remember talking with you about that. We are catching up on our bills right now from when I wasn't allowed to work and hope to get high speed in the summer. Can't wait.

That sucks that they pulled that crap on you and I'm glad you got your money back. Way to go.
