I know I have asked before but who here watches NHL?

What is the best way in the UK to watch NHL?

I have VM so can not get PremierSports :(


I was looking at NHL Gamecenter but with blackouts due to PremierSports I will most likely miss most of the games I would want to watch.

Also you have to ring up the US to cancel NHL GameCenter?!?!?

EDIT: Please note that i am looking for a legal way to watch the games!

I ended up getting the NHL gamecentre (on offer for the short season) and it is amazing. Got it on an apple tv 3 so getting full HD and it holds all the games so if its a 3am game I can watch it the next day or in the week at a more convenient time.

How much is it? I used to watch the NHL back in the day when it was on C5 late at night/early morning.

$160 for the season usually which is not bad considering you get every single game live and you can watch the replays as many times as you like. I paid around $49 for this shortened season. (Plus I bought an AppleTV to watch it on, you can use most things to watch it though)

A normal full season including playoffs was $160 before the lockout, cheaper this year with the condensed season (and so as to not annoy people any further ;) ). Then at around halfway through the season they knock the price down to half.

Even at full price personally it's fantastic value for the amount of time we spend watching games, at least 3 or 4 a week, so probably averages $2 a game or something silly.

I'd imagine with premier sports able to show 15 games a week the playoffs will have quite a bit blacked out, but as said previously there are very easy ways round that.

With free Gamcenter app you don't get the full length game replays, it'll either be the 3 minute highlights or the 10 min condensed versions.

UnblockUS seems to work with it.

Nice! Since about 2002 for me.

It's a nice enough place, people were really welcoming, being a Londoner and a dedicated Pittsburgh sports fan they lapped it up! However, I wouldn't go back, unless it was part of a road trip and it was a two day stop over. There's nothing to do there really, it's kinda weird that they've got a fairly big Macy's store there, yet is nowhere near as impressive as the Manhattan one. That could be because the city isn't a popular tourist destination like NY though.

Might just have to add it to a trip to NY then. I only wanted to go Pittsburgh to see the hockey. :D

You can pick them up on eBay pretty cheap. I got an official NHL Reebok Leafs jersey for about £30 on there from a UK seller. Good as new I doubt it's ever been worn. Not really a lot of fans over here so the auctions don't get bid up too much.

Thanks your idea lead me to go to the US eBay too. People are willing to ship worldwide and its cheaper than getting them from the NHL shop :D

I got my Malkin jersey used (in perfect condition) on the bay for about £20 a couple of years ago, looks amazing.

Very much so looking forward to the playoffs in a few days! As long as we shape up our PK unit we'll be able to make a good run for the finals.
