Ice-Hockey thread

So how many hockey fans we got here? I live in Finland so it's a pretty big thing here (in fact, this years IIHF World Championships is being co-hosted here in Helsinki, and Finland won the Gold medal last year)

Out of the NHL teams I follow the Winnipeg Jets and in the Finnish SM-liiga I follow HIFK
One annoying thing living in Europe is I don't get to watch NHL games live that often, as they start at around 3:00-4:30 AM over here, so I'll sometimes watch a game on Saturdays when they start earlier, especially if the Jets are playing.

Hockey here! Give me my Red Wings (sue me, I lived in Michigan for 8 months) and let me be.  I don't get to watch it near as much as I'd like, though.

Speaking of the Red Wings, that reminds me of one of my favorite Hockey videos on Youtube, of this massive brawl between the '98 Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche:

Also, this I believe they also set a new NHL record this year, 23 consecutive home wins in a row. just one of many of their impressive feats.

Flyers fan here, though they rarely show them playing here in FL.  I usually end up watching whatever teams are playing each night, since just about any game is fun to watch.

Dat feeling when the Jets lose two in a row  :-\ if they're gonna make the playoffs this year, it's gonna be tight.

Can't wait for the Stanley Cup Finals this year though, only managed to stay up for about half a game. got a feeling it's gonna be intense, with Vancouver certainly gunning for the finals. hopefully there will be less riots this time though  :P

I pretty much live and breathe ice hockey, unfortunately the only live games I get to see these days are the KHL streams on their YouTube channel (which are often at very short notice). My NHL loyalty is Nashville, though before that it was the Quebec Nordiques prior to their relocation.

Well, Metallurg v Barys Astana is on later today 1pm GMT (3pm Helsinki), though if the KHL has a TV deal in Finland it may not be available online there...

Livestream has started, working fine here. First goal of the game was pretty sweet, hopefully I can find a Youtube clip of it after the game is over.

SKA St.Petersburg are looking scary good right now and put 7 past Atlant yesterday, and the 2nd of those goals has to be seen to be believed starting at about 0:55. Watch the assist from #10 Tikhonov!

Also, this picture from yesterdays Capitals @ Jets game is great:

More live hockey coming up on Youtube, as the IIHF are streaming World Championship games beginning in about 20 minutes with USA v France.

I almost forgot the 2012 WW started today, sadly the livestreams on youtube are blocked over here and the games on TV are being played on a channel our house doesn't have. Gonna have to use the crappy quality "alternate" livestreams.

Also, USA hammers France 7-2. Insert "surrender monkey" jokes here.

If YLE isn't showing it in Finland this year, does that mean no Antero Mertaranta?  :(

Well, I did find a channel I could watch the game on, but it looks like I won't be able to watch ALL of the games on TV, just select ones, which is a shame because I would have definitely preferred to watch Saturday's Canada-USA game on TV. also, sounds like Mertaranta is still doing commentary.
