ATTENTION EUROPEAN FANS:

The NHL's goal this season is to bring more programming content and live games than ever to our passionate and loyal European fans. In connection with that pursuit, today we have launched six native-language Web sites (Czech, Finnish, German, Russian, Slovak, Swedish). NHL GameCenter LIVE enables our international fans to enjoy live and on-demand games via streaming video on broadband, mobile and tablet devices.

On the television side, we continue to work throughout Europe to bring NHL hockey to our fans. While these negotiations are ongoing, we remain optimistic that we soon will soon have agreements to announce. We thank you for your continued patience, as we continue to work diligently toward this goal.

Watched the rangers kings game on glc last night, it was sweet. Especially the in game stats up options while it's in play and jumping between live games.

http://www.firstrowsports.tv/ shown both games last night with decent streaming for free+ show all other nhl games from the states live.
Won't pay what the nhl are asking for gamecenter live but have set up nhl vault on ps3 with the nhl app from america which is only about £3-£4 a month for classic games and a large catalogue of archived games in their entirety for the last 4 years

The GCL app for the ps3 is brilliant! All signed up now. Can't beat a bit of hockey on a Sunday evening!
How did you get the app for ps3? Is it in the store?
