I would assume you are in the Buffalo sports market, but here was My Solution to watch the Red Wings just in case you're not:
1. Visit the SatelliteGuys store, and purchase a Slingbox for $149, and send it to someone you know living in Buffalo. I had a Slingbox delivered to my folks place and they simply used a splitter to plug it into their Comcast cable.
2. Purchase a Star Choice Canadian satellite subscription. I ordered the "essentials" for around $35 a month and watch the Detroit and Seattle HD locals, along with the Buffalo SD locals. Also included is CBC HD, TSN HD, and Global which should be chock full of Hockey action.
It's not Dish, but it's the best I can do without order NHL Center Ice....plus, I get to see lots of out of market sports.
