I'd keep emailing the NHL as well. You'd be suprised what can happen. I'm not saying they'll get involved, but I had an issue with Center Ice in the past regarding OTA games being blacked out and after numerous emails and letters, they finally contacted me and got the issue resolved. Initially they claimed it was DISH's responsibility, but eventually they came around and worked with DISH to fix the problem. So . . . keep up those emails!
