NHL - European TV Coverage

Ok, the season is almost upon us, where are we meant to watch the action? (...or is it just me that cares? :( )

Big blow without ESPN player but the options look to be either ESPN America on TV or maybe this link which is dirt cheap for the season and only lose peanuts if it turns out useless.

The Betfair forum looks both dead and full of undesirables these days mate so i'm frequenting the covers.com forum , it's a more serious American sports forum and a lot better quality than here in all honesty.
                   

See you over there and good luck for the season 

Russia here. NTV plus, our leading sport tv sattelite provider don't have NHL games at 6 October. Scandinavian network Viasat which showed NASN (ESPN Europe) is full of baseball etc. but no NHL.......
I bought VPN and will try to look like american IP to get Yahoo broadcasts at least. My friend who likes NHL but prefers to sleep at nights, already adopted tradition of downloading torrented games from nhltorrents.co.uk site to watch next day.

Today KHL made giant step towards  punters money. Match between Atlant and Vytiaz was shown on Betfair Live video. For some magic resaon the game shown was an obvious fix, but any live ice hockey is good.

It appears that NHL Gamecentre is now open to European registration. It's $160 for the season, or 8 * $20 installments, more expensive than ESPN player but at least its a lifeline to live action.

I signed up and it appeared ok when i watched Hamburg v LA Kings last night.

What do you fancy tonight CJ?

Hoping Flyers/Bruins put on a real spectacle (ie goals) and I have a feeling for Montreal as well.

Smallest of stakes of course, but so pleased its back - and FWIW I've backed Buffalo to win the cup - they have bought/traded well

All the best

Canny believe that there isnt gonny be live coverage this season ... I am raging ... Just called ESPN and was put through to india and the guy didnt know what NHL was.. Fook me ... There must be some options to watch the NHL .... Been looking to the season so much ... Anyone know why ESPN arent showing it? is it cos they chose NFL ahead of NHL?

Found a decent stream for the Sabres/Ducks game....Go Sabres

fingerinciderreason is all over internet, basically, someone offered more money than ESPN for the rights and afterwards couldn't sell it at higner price.
We all know here how painful it is to cut losses, but they would sooner or later succumb and agree to sell at lower price, hehe

first treble arrived, wohoo!!!
Flyers gonna be tough, now that they have reliable  goaltender. New Jersey is struggling in couner direction.

Available on Premier Sports via Sky for £7.99 a month now.

Sorry guys,not been on here for a while. Drew, Have also backed the Sabres, & the Kings. Early days, but hopefully both can make the play-offs.

Anyone else getting fed up with the blank screen and annoying music during ad breaks and periods on Gamecentre? It does my head in, would much rather watch ads for Applebees and Geiko!

Hadnt read the thread in the last few weeks but just signed up to premier sports .... 10 games a week they are covering and looking at todays it has hockey night in canada? Happy camper today !!

Lets go Oilers :D

ESPNA have picked up some NHL across Europe, Viasat for Scandinavia, Premier Sports for UK, Setanta for Ireland, Sport TV for Portgual, Nova Sport for Czech Republic.
