@Cookie Monster: thanks for the suggestions.

I went to the Universal Sports website and can’t find anything about buying streaming video of the games. On the IIHF website, it clearly states that streaming video is not accessible in certain countries. The USA is one of the excluded countries.

Due to the time difference between Germany and where I live, a live video feed or Japers’ Rink chat would occur while I’m at work so I wouldn’t be able to follow the games live.

I guess I’ll have to be content with updates and posted photos and videos from the games. I’m mostly interested in Team Russia for what should be obvious reasons.

Universal Sports streams the game online for ~$1/game. Or many use justintv to stream although you never know what language the play-by-play will be in.

Also, the commenters at Japers’ Rink “chat” during games so you can follow the action through their posts.

So happy to see Ovi smile again! Is it September yet?

Unfortunately I couldn’t watch the game. DirecTV doesn’t carry the Universal Sports channel, and live streaming isn’t available in the US. I’ll have to rely on RMNB to keep me posted.

Ovie looks fabulous, like he’s back to having fun playing hockey again. This was my hope before the tournament started, and I hope it continues through its conclusion. I know it will help my post Caps loss healing if I see Ovie on the mend.

Peter–

“I’m thinking I love hockey again!” I couldn’t agree more. That’s the first hockey game I have watched since GAME 7. Definitely feel like my heart is on the mend, now if only they would show the rest of the games on TV. Need to track down an online feed for Team Russia games.
