I think those who want it free can enjoy the awesome viewing of ADTHE, the others who find the 50 cents per day worth it can watch any game they want in HD quality, with PVR option along with the access to every game replayed for the past 4 seasons.

Exactly my point. People like you believe that they are getting a great product for a reasonable price. You likely aren't interested in watching a game online and you clearly feel that the cost is not an issue, so you'll remain a customer either way. I'm not suggesting that they get rid of the CI package, just that they add free online streaming. Heck, even if the NHL offered crappy ATDHE quality, they could still stop people from pirating while gaining advertising revenue so long as the feed was reliable. Offer slightly better streaming quality and no one would bother with ATDHE when it comes to watching hockey at all.
I think that something like this could have the potential to be quite viable for the NHL should a sound business plan be put together for it. This has nothing to do with the holier than thou attitude that some of you seem saddled with. I'm sure you guys will find a way to pay your $200 annual fee while still managing to thumb your noses at those who prefer to watch online for free. Everyone could win here.
