Did you try ESPN 360 Europe? You can watch every game live or on-demand.

wow, sounds cool! Your offer might come to bite your ass later on, becouse im really looking up to travel there next season at some point!
so every game for 79€? sounds reasonable, can you record games and watch them later on? cos usually there is a lot of games that are played at the same time.

My only stipulation is then when I go to Finland the favor be returned. I travel all the effin time, and its been awhile since I've been back in Europe. Damn job.

I guess it's time to do this too, as I lurk these boards quite a lot these days. I actually started lurking these boards this offseason, and found this place oddly comforting experience. Planning to come to Minnesota this winter to see a game or two.

Fav Wild moment/how I became a fan: It was back in 1997, when it was announced that there would be a franchise coming back to Minnesota. I was a senior in high school at the time (oops, gave away my true age) and my school was chosen to help name the team. (Woo, Johnson Govies! WOOT!) They handed out ballots in school with different options for team names and Wild sounded pretty cool. I was hooked from my first game in November 2000.

Origin of screen name: With a knick nack paddywhack give a dog a bone, this old man came rolling home.
Jerseys owned: Don't laugh too hard, but I have an autographed white Brad Brown jersey that I bought in like 03 I think? I also have a couple red jerseys. One with no name, the other is a women's style jersey with Koivu on it that I got on one of those NHL free customization deals, but the name/number is already peeling off (grr!), and the old style green jersey. Oh! And I have one of those volunteer jerseys from the 04 ASG
Stumbled in here around the deadline looking for trade rumors. Found a lot of... Uhm... "interesting" proposals.
