Does anyone know what my other options are for watching online? I don't want to pay the NHL $80 to watch 2 games with their service. I've been able to watch a few games on Yahoo! in the past, but I don't know how they determine which games to show and how I could find out in advance which games they'll have.

NHL Gamecenter is now $20. If you have the spare cash, it is much better than Sopcast, Justin.tv or any other free stream.

Monthly enstallments, since thats all you need

I still like the link i provided

Err, right but the way I understand it you pay the full $80 over 4 months whether you need it for 2 days or the full 4 months (which wouldn't even be possible at this point)

I did check out your link and I see that the Sunday game is going to be on Yahoo (kind of figured it would be since it will probably decide 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the east). That's the one I really needed to see. I'll check out the sopcast thing for tomorrow's game. I won't be able to stream Saturday's game since it coincides with the time when stuff gets blown up at Knob Creek.

I have a man crush on iginla, rumors say he might leave after this season.

Rick Nash's contract expires this year aswell i believe.

Rick Nash is signed up to 2018 at $7.8 million/season

Bad contract, he's good, but not that good. Iginla also has a few more years on his contract, I think that if anyone is leaving Calgary, it's the Sutter brothers.

Some other team would easily pay him that much or more, so its better to keep him than trade away your face, especially when you'd have no one to build around if he was gone

Probably. He's better than Scott Gomez, who has an even worse contract. And I think the second part hits the nail on the head. CBJ can't afford to lose him. Even if he's not as good as Ovy, Sid, or Malkin, he's the only marquee player they have.

They don't post the SOP and ST links for games until the day of, just find the thread in the NHL forum on the day of (it will be labeled with that days date) and someone will have a high quality stream up. I regularly watch 900 and 1000 kbps streams which look as good as and sometimes even better then Standard definition television.

Kilonet that someone else posted will be posted on that forum if they are showing your game on that day.

Ugh, Rangers won.
I will be severely disappointed if they get let into the playoffs.

Watching the Hawks/Aves right now...could very likely be 1 vs. 8 when the playoffs begin.

i have a buddy that likes the Rangers and another that likes the Habs... I'd rather not see Philly get in... their goaltending situation pretty much guarantees they will get their ass handed to them in the first round IMHO

i'm going for the Habs in the East and LA in the West, for Ryan Smyth and Doughty

Wow, Oilers haven't shown up this period, yet somehow we're leading the Kings 1-0.
Dubnyk largely why...
