Oct 05, 11 at 3:12 pmI wish I would have seen those games but I had no way to at the time. I was recently hired by DISH Network, and finally can watch the NHL Network with my new DISH service. I also just found out today that U-Verse is no longer carrying the NHL Network. I just wanted to let all the hockey fans out there know so that they don’t miss any games.
