Bruce MacLeod of Red Wings Corner posted the following release he received today…
NEW YORK, April 15, 2009 –Tax Day has a bright side for hockey fans. Starting today, April 15, and through the second round of the playoffs, subscribers to the NHL Center Ice out-of-market package will receive replays of same day games. In this new enhancement which is free to customers, the NHL Center Ice package will re-air each current day’s game beginning approximately one hour after the live game ends so that fans can see games they might have missed. Each game will replay in its entirety and will repeat continuously overnight and the next day, on the same channel, until the following day’s live games begin.
The “Replay Game” feature means that there will be approximately 4-5 replays for single, scheduled games. Live games scheduled back-to-back will be replayed in that same order, so that there will be approximately 2-3 replays before game-time the following day. No games will be bumped from the package to accommodate replay games. Blackout and other restrictions apply.
I haven’t heard anything about this, how about you?

I hope this story is true. It would be great if it is. I’ve been wondering why they haven’t been doing this anyway.

My understanding is this is for InDemand customers. So that counts out Directv viewers.

Would be a great idea if they kept it for next season as well.
