This last year has been the biggest joke and most depressing for a hockey fan outside north america.
The very early season they played what could only be described as cheap APP ad's for games, apps...
Here is my final post after months of requesting help from the NHL trying to figure out why I had perfect streaming quality up until the mid game, and worsening in the 3rd period.. With expert net guys helping, the NHL support forums is quite literally a outsourced joke of a tech support forum which pretty much says "have you tried turning it on and off again" as their motto.

I spent time with the NHL and its home office about 6 years ago trying to get Iceland streaming to work on Gamecenter. Back then I had some solid help. This year, everything changed, it used to just stream, without problems, but this entire year as I spent hours upon hours with the help of experts with CCIE certs and net guys who could not explain why my connection in Iceland ALWAYS had perfect streaming up until about mid way in the 2nd period and as it got later in the 3rd it became unbearable.
The support on these forums has been a joke, I work as an IT guy myself, and the advice and support I have gotten here has been something you would expect from a tiny company, not the NHL!
I even gave up trying to watch games live, which was after midnight my time, and decided to try watching them the day after, but to my amazement, the NHL was not satisfied with taking my money, but they forced me to watch commercials of games that had already been shown!
NHL, you need to hire a new IT company ASAP, the people running your tech support are a joke, the early season you had commercials outside the US and Canada that made viewers wonder if they had a virus (cheap, APP commercials) that everyone laughed about until you removed them.
I tried watching NHL TV on my phone, on my brothers TV, and on my own TV, the same problem happens every time.

NHL GC outside of North America is a complete joke, the NBA, MLB, the NFL, all have flawless streaming, flawless service and the NHL tries to milk even the few EU and non North American viewers with cheap android/apple app ads, and after enough complaints they finally stop them a month in to the season, then they can't stream a HD game without issues and spend quite literally the entirety of the remainder of the season telling people the problem is on our end, not the mighty NHL and quality that they provide....
