I know, but I assumed the asker was North American. The rest of the world has been promised to get full playoffs on GCL.

It would be best to call their customer service in June as I think they do the renewal in July.

Sweet. Anyone know if it's likely to be any cheaper to sign up nearer the time? If not I'm best just forking out the $80 now and getting the rest of the regular season. Bit disconcerting that they don't make mention of the playoffs on their FAQs. You'd think that would be a pretty frequently asked question.

Free if you pay for the Gamecenter service.

Came here for this, too! I've had the GC app on my iphone for a long time but I don't subscribe. Just tried it on a whim and I'm watching DAL v EDM!

Is there a free preview going on? I don't see anything about that on nhl.com...

Edit: It's working on my computer, too. Didn't even try to sign in, just clicked the "watch now" button on nhl.com's homepage.

Ah crap, spoke too soon. Seems like they're giving people about 5 minutes to tease them and then asking you to subscribe to continue. Oh well...

So, I already paid up front for NHL GameCenter this year, and decided to cancel for next.

However, today I bought a smartphone (Samsung Galaxy II on Sprint). I wanted to see how good the quality was. So, I downloaded the GameCenter App, but whenever I try to log-in or register, it tries to make me pay. Is there some app with a different name I need to be looking for?

There's a special version of the nhl gamecenter app for verizon people. That could be the reason why I can watch the whole game for free (I think). When I open the app there's a popup that mentions that they charge for data, but I'm on an unlimited plan. I guess the popup warning is for people on tiered data accounts.

Anybody know what HD resolution Center Ice games are on DTV? 1080i or 720i? I seem to only get 720i. Thanks

I have been. I find it interesting how their stance this year was you're only paying for streaming games and not the commercials/intermissions (Even though I thought the intermissions were part of the games), yet now that it seems they are being more lenient, they are doing their own bit of advertising.

Probably 720. What's worse is they game with glitch to crappy sd at times.

I'm getting this for free and I still don't like using it.

The ads seemed to pop up on the first game I select to watch...and that would be it until I signed out of my account. Now, it seems like any game/feed I switch to will throw an ad at me.

It's 15-30 seconds of annoyance...but still, I'm paying for this service, I shouldn't be bombarded by their advertisements.

Anyone send them an e-mail about it? I sent them one. I think it's one of those things where if the consumer base speaks up we can get it to go away, but if we don't we'll soon get Hulu'd. Who wants to wait a few minutes before watching a live game? Not I.

These pre-roll NHL commercials must be something that is only done on the web version. I don't see them when I stream the games on Roku or the PS3.

Here's something that I have been noticing as of late: The games where commercial breaks/intermission reports are not shown used to have this obnoxiously loud NHL store commercial, and once that commercial is over, it would go back to that soft background music until the broadcast resumes. I've not seen that one for a quite a while,.... for which I am grateful.

maybe someone can help me. I don't think i should be blacked out of tonights wings vs kings game. Kings games on FS West are usually blacked out but tonights game is on LIVE ON KCOP-13 and nhl.com says Your local team is playing and televising the game on a local over-the-air station and you are located within that station's signal, which i dont think i can get that in Vegas...

Anyone having issues with the control bar (sorry if this was covered in any of the 3 parts).

Used to work fine, but I can no longer hide the thing. Moving the cursor to the bottom left does nothing.

Ideas?

I haven't had to do it in a VERY long time, but they used to black me out all the time. I'd call them, they'd clear the IP they have me logged in at and it'd work fine.
