i hope so. I am a really big NHL fan and cant believe I am not able to watch any this season. I was tempted by NHL center ice package but as most are evening starts in North America i would not watch many live due to the time difference.
Unlike MLB which has enough day games to wath live to make their package worthwhile to me.
i shall make do with the hihlights on the NHL.com site. better than nowt.
