I thought last year they did a live webcast of the semi-finals. According to this release, that isn't happening, presumbably because CSTV is also carrying the semi-finals.
Thanks to everyone who provided detailed posts of the Clarkson games. I was at Asilomar-Pacific Grove for a conference and knew something was up when, by 6:30 (PST)/dinner I didn't have a phone message with the game score. The evening sessions were tough wondering what was going on in the OT session.

I thought I read somewhere that if CSTV were telecasting a game it would also be available through All-Access. Wasn't the Harvard game at Lynah on the web?
The Harvard game at Lynah was already on the web through All-Access because it was a home game.

Well, here's what the PR blurb encouraging us to subscribe to All-Access had to say:
"For the first time, the All-Access pass will include live streaming video that will include dozens of home events as well as contests televised by College Sports Television (CSTV)."
Meanwhile, basketball fans get the entire NCAA tournament streamed. Free. CBS thinks it can make money. Bet it streams better than All-Access.

Economy of scale. More people will connect to the stream of the worst rated squeak game than the combined number of all of those that will attend, watch, or listen to any psrt of any game in the NCAA hockey tourny.

Seems like a fair tradeoff to me.

I'll bet the strategy is to get people hooked on the product, and in '07 or '08 they'll be charging for it. That's the strategy they used with their fantasy sports game.

I totally hear ya, Keith, but it still isn't a lot of fun getting blank stares when you explain to people that you're going through some great effort to catch a college hockey game. Also, watching the ECACs or NCAAs in half-empty (half-full, whatever) arenas isn't that great, either. I think I'd rather pay, what, twice as much for the ticket, in exchange for the Pepsi Center being sold out this weekend. It would make for a more exciting atmosphere.

Or the stares you get when you tell people you were up to 2 am listening to a 5 OT hockey game between Yale and Union (who?). I think they are looking for a straight jacket for me ;-)

I'd rather have a mostly full rink and available tickets for dedicated fans than a full rink with tickets difficult to come by (like it is in squeakball).
Sunnyvale's got big antennas, surely they could pick up some CSTV this weekend....

Looks like the semifinal will be on All-Access:

just something of note, the consy will not be televised on cstv
Anyone getting no sound from the WOES broadcast of the Dartmouth-Harvard game? It acts like it's playing (no connection errors from WMP), but there is just no sound.
whrb.org has the harvard feed.....
Thanks. I figured it out after reading a bit further. Why does Harvard seem scary right now with another goal to go up 3-0 a minute into the second?

Because they're the undead. That is, until NCAAs.
This is really bad...5-0 in favor of Sucks, and it is only the second period. Dartmouth can just roll over and go home already. ::stupid::
Does anybody know if this will be on the local Time Warner station in Ithaca?
