The NHL on Joost!

Yes, I am now watching NHL hockey action on Joost! Most of the games from the last series of the playoffs are available for viewing on Joost, skipping most the commercials1 and all of intermission breaks. Outside of stoppages of plays during play and the occasional replay, it's pretty much nothing but constant playoff hockey action. Nice stuff! If I need a break, it's just a matter of hitting the spacebar or pressing the pause button on the on-screen display pause the hockey action until I can get back to it. This is much closer to the concept of on-demand TV programming that I have envisioned.

It would be really awesome if they can actually show the conference finals broadcasts live (with the DVR-type pausing functionality built-in), but I doubt that will happen this year.

Hell, I would pay to have NHL Center Ice on Joost. That would get me watching hockey nonstop like nothing else.

  1. 1. Joost will show a 30-second commercial at a few stopping points during the games. I only remember seeing 2-3 such commercials on an entire game, though.
