Just throwing their videos out there for another place for people to watch. It definitely took them long enough to improve their online presence, but good to see the league taking some steps forward.

The National Hockey League (NHL) will offer free hockey programming to consumers on the Joost distribution platform beginning at the start of the 2007 Stanley Cup Final. The announcement was made today by Joostâ„¢, the worldâ€™s first broadcast-quality Internet television service.

Under the agreement, the NHL will provide full-game replays on a delay and highlights from this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs, combined with a rich selection of vintage games from the NHL archives. Some of the historic action available includes: game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Final in which the New York Rangers defeated the Vancouver Canucks; game 7 of the 1993 Western Conference Final game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Los Angeles Kings featuring Wayne Gretzky; and the ultimate game of the 1997 Stanley Cup Final, in which the Detroit Red Wings topped the Philadelphia Flyers.

Currently available in expanded beta, Joost combines the best of TV and the best of the Internet by offering viewers a unique, TV-like experience enhanced with the choice, control and flexibility of Web 2.0. Joost can be accessed with a broadband Internet connection and offers broadcast-quality content to viewers for free.

Through Joost, viewers can watch programming from the NHL on their computers through a customizable platform with advanced television viewing features such as links to more information or related websites based on the content. This service also offers a variety of plug-in applications, such as instant messaging, message boards and news tickers.
