Re: I dumped TV a while back Last year my wife and I subscribed to cable [i]just for[/] hockey season. We occaisionaly watched other things about once a month. Now that most things that we would want to watch you can find online legally, we are not getting cable.
We bought NHL 2K9 for the Wii and it came with a free 2 month trial of NHL Center Ice Online, so we're gonna give that a shot and might decide to subscribe if its to our liking.

I wonder if they offer that with 2K9 for the PS2..
My reasons also for Center Ice Online is that I work until 7pm, usually do some things after, so I miss my team's games. Instead, I can stream them from work on work days, and home on non-work days.
Have a PC DVI output to our Samsung HDTV so can still watch it on TV if I want, just cable/broadcast free. Thankfully the missus is on the same boat as me. Most women in my family think she's crazy to go without cable. 
Definitely give it a shot though. Can't beat free. By the time those two months are over their price for the rest of the season should be down a bit.

| We have our pc hooked up to our 37" lcd, otherwise she'd probably still want cable. I dont think I'd want to try and follow the puck around on a 19" screen either though.
If I miss a game and really want to see it, (I always check scores, so I already know what the outcome was), I'll just find a torrent. My wife and I work retail, so sometimes we might not get home till after 11pm. So if I see that a game had something spectacular happen, I'll try to find it on youtube or torrent.
Personally though, I find watching sports is more fun in a group, half the time my wife and I will fall asleep watching a game, and we are both rabid hockey fans (our wedding cake was a miniature Stanley Cup). Though when we watch with at least one more person, we scream, jump around, I dunno, just get more "into" the game.
