Well, they almost get it.

Over the last few years (ever since the NHL came back from the strike), the organization has been trying to crawl back into the living rooms of the American public.  They have used great partnerships to do this, namely Yahoo broadcasting games online. Sometimes the quality was there, mostly it wasn’t.

Now, the NHL ventures on their own with live games online. They greatly expanded their video section of nhl.com to include interviews, game highlights, features, and in-game podcasts. If you are a hockey fan, but are doomed to live in a non-hockey market, nhl.com is for you.

As for the games, well, that will cost you. A subscription service of $169 will get you the season online. It will be interesting to watch how many subscribers they get.

Overall, much more video online, and broken up very well. It’s now time to look at games, since there are so many fans out of market.
