Don't know how big a fan you are, but, ...
I think it was actually box that told me about this several years ago. They've really, really improved things now. hockeystreams splat com is your friend. If you have a Roku device, it works on that as well. There's also a droid app. Best $100/year I ever spent. All Junior, AHL, and NHL games with no blackouts. I usually watch the Canadian streams, but you can watch the NBC streams *and* the games on the NHL network. Best of all, as long as your external IP addy is the same, you can launch as many games simultaneously as you want. So when the playoffs started (I'm a fairly big Grand Rapids Griffins fan) I had one on the tv, one on my pad and two on my computer going at the same time. Built-in DVR and a "vault" of previously played games. You pick: full game, highlights or condensed game. You could sign up for less than a year and I think they ran a playoff special. At any rate, hopefully you'll only be interested in one more game this year. ;0)
