FYI-as they have done the last few years, the NHL Center Ice channels are available right now.  In the past it's been the first week of the season that it's available as a free trial.  Leafs @ Wings on tonight at 7:30pm for those not in the local viewing area.  For me it's on Comcast channels 775 and 776 (home and away broadcast).  Rangers @ Blue Jackets on now on channel 772.
