Your only option is to stream until/if we make the cobference finals.at least.

As AP has said, you can stream through a proxy and watch at cbc.ca, personally i have only done that once, it was alright.

I pay for center ice online all season , i would just recommend getting a monthly subscription (about 20 bucks i think) and if you really want to watch in tv just output from your pc to tv. Quality isnt to bad.

Burgess if youre in brisbane do you get to watch the games live? Im always at work so i usually listen to the team 1200 broadcast. This time I am planning on staying well away from the internet and watching the games after work. Also wondering if you want to catchup for a game and have some brews pm me.

Sorry about spelling/punctuation i am.moving house and have no internet (apparently until thurs, telstra better not **** up) so i am on my phone
I'd be down for that. I watch the games live because I work from home, but if I'm planning to watch one at night I can hold myself back.

... will need uninstall the Gamecenter app from my phone though .. that thing sends me about 20 messages a game.

I'll PM you now.

Romania is way ahead of you. Me and my romanian buddy the Swedish Flash already been to local hockey games here, chat regularly about the Sens and will watch the playoffs together via Gamecenter.

3. I've been back to Canada every two years since then and all of my friends there love the Sens.
We put up an Australian at our house in Ottawa for the better part of a year while he was doing a co-op placement in town, and he was awesome. He learned to love two things while in Canada.
1) Hockey
2) the Roots line of stores.

Unrelated fact, Prawn is also used to describe a chick with a hot body but an unattractive face.
