Why do you watch on your laptop?
My computer got fried and I don't get hockey on my Virgin connection anymore. I used to get ESPN, but not for years now. I subscribed to the NHL network for a couple of years, but they blockked me out so many times and I had to watch on links anyway, it seemed a bit stupid to just throw money at them wheen I could watch the games free anyway, which I had to do most of the time.
Yes, I did take it up with their office, but apparently England is "local" to Washington when it comes to blackout games.
Go figure.
