watching ice hockey in britain

[jofillips]

as british people might know here, channel 5 shows live NHL games about once or twice a week (generally at 1.30am)

does anyone know if the flames have been on it this season?

everytime i watch it always seems to be the chicago blackhawks versus some shoddy eastern team nobody cares about (even the presenters acknowledge this!!)
Does the NHL/networks charge more for screening a game if its say detroit or a better team, thus meaning channel 5 can only afford those teams without a playoff chance?

i gave up on watching hockey on five. plus that british guy that does the intermission talk makes me want to throw my tv through the wall. could he be any more stupid???

i watched the flames on NASN last night

10 pounds a month, you cant go wrong

NASN does HNIC too.

And lots of other games.

Or you could buy Center Ice Online....if it works overseas.

Don't know for sure.
