Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted June 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hey, straight up, I can't help you but I thought you might like to know that I moved to Vancouver this year (from London) and the atmosphere here is insane, everyone is obsessed with the hockey, it's 10X as big a deal as the world cup or something is back home, wish you could be here! Go Canucks Go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undercover elephant Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Try live streaming on Justin.TV around 1am  Really pissed off after Game 2. Less than a minute into OT and Tim Thomas practically gives the game away with an absolute howler. Can't see the Canucks throwing away a 2-0 lead in this series now. This series is well and truly over for the Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefdave Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 ESPN do live streaming which is decent quality, think you can pay by the game. ESPN America will have it on Sky and Virgin or you're looking at something like justin.tv if you don't want to pay, the NHL don't seem to clamp down massively on streams so it's just a matter of finding a decent quality one, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryko Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 All the Stanley Cup final games get shown on either ESPN or ESPN America do they not? During the season, if you wnat to watch only one specific team, then paying to watch it on the NHL website will be your best option, but for the current best of 7 series, ESPN America shows them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickin it wit the kliq Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 ESPN America are showing all the games, and the best thing is, is that it's the Hockey Night in Canada coverage that they are showing, so you get the added goodness of Don Cherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The big plus of online is that they carry every game that's televised, which is pretty much all of them, and have the stream on demand so you don't have to watch in the middle of the night. Â Of course if you don't want to watch live there's always other ways to get hold of recordings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members AJ~ Posted June 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2011 Fact: I touched the Stanley Cup last week when it visted my workplace. I'm awesome. Â As Mr Licker says, this place is ridiculous right now with hockey fever. I knew the Canadians liked their hockey but I've never seen anything this for such widespread excitement and support for one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickin it wit the kliq Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 It is an awesome atmosphere, I was working in Calgary in 04 when the Flames were in the finals and the city was amazing, sucked for me because I'm a die hard Oilers fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastPop619 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks for the reply guys! Â Gonna see if I can stream it.. if not whats the chances of finding a torrent/download of it the following day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Bellend Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks for the reply guys! Gonna see if I can stream it.. if not whats the chances of finding a torrent/download of it the following day?  Very easy, at this stage of the year all the games are downloadable from the myp2p forum, which is probably preferable to staying up till 4am praying it doesn't go to overtime. I actually went to bed just at the overtime face off on Saturday night, and I felt a right tit when I downloaded the end yesterday that it only went 11 seconds.

I have to go on You Tube to watch Coaches Corner which is a god send to be honest. Can't beat the no nonsense from Don Cherry. Watching Game 3 now.
