There was certainly a
lot of fanfare when
Google announced that they were going to allow people around the world to watch in-season full-length games on
Google Video. Well, it seems that
Comcast now allows anyone in the US to stream up to 2
live games a day. When Comcast and the NHL
first made this announcement, the games were only viewable to Comcast High-Speed Internet customers. This year, anyone in the US can watch the games - even DSL subscribers - via the Comcast
Hockey Live site.
Before you get too excited there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Local games are usually blacked out, and to watch the live streams you'll need a PC with Microsoft Windows Media Player 9.x or higher and IE 6+ or a similar generation browser. So Mac users are out of luck (shock).

Hi. Your information is incorrect. I've been watching these games on a Mac for a while now with no trouble. I run OS 10.4.8 and I'm using the Safari browser (shock).
