The 2006-2007 NHL regular season is over, and the 2007 Stanley Cup playoffs are about to begin. My beloved Vancouver Canucks had a great year with the league's MVP (whether they accept it of not), Roberto Luongo, and won the Northwest Division.
My friends and I are getting organized for the playoffs by entering a playoff hockey pool. We've tried a few websites for managing the pools, but officepools.com is clearly the best that we've tried. It's well-designed, and officepools.com does the calculations every night. For once on Linkjockey, the link isn't free, but officepools.com does offer a free demo. They also offer the most stats and give you fantastic value for your $20.
The playoffs start on Wednesday. Go Canucks! Go!
NHL.com - Radio
As the NHL prepares for the All-Star game today in Dallas, today's link lets you listen to every single NHL game live.
No matter where you live in the world, you can listen to your favourite team play every game over the internet. As so many sports leagues try to increase their "revenue stream" by gouging their fans for every penny they can get, it's uplifting that the NHL is doing something so right. The NHL is using this technology to make it easy and free to be a fan.
Through the miracle of Windows Media Player (also for Mac), every game's play-by-play is streamed live over the internet, using the same feed from each team's radio broadcast crew. If you're listening to a Montreal Canadiens game, you can even listen in French!
