Hey Rich, do you know of any plan which you can pay to watch kings games online? I know CI has but it has blackouts of the local games...
68 of 82 games? That's terrible.
Seems like every year the list of non-televised games gets longer. High school football gets more coverage by Fox Sports then the Kings do. It's getting pretty annoying. Maybe when the Kings win a cup they'll televise a few games?
I watch the games online using http://www.hockeystreams.com/ They don't have blackouts. There are occasional technical glitches but all in all it works.
I used this instead of the NHL online thing because the NHL product has blackouts (and way too much clutter on the screen).
Hockeystreams does cost money, and it's hard to believe it's legal, but until they shut it down I think it's the best around.

There's also www.hockeywebcasts.com that I know shows lots of CHL, minor league, college, and international games. Not sure if they show NHL or not.
Thanks for the tips guys
