[nfbcs] NHL Games on the Internet

[Rob]

Yep.  This was most certainly a dis-improvement on their part.  I am getting 
to the feed I want by going to the official team site and finding the listen 
link there.

Also, the window that pops up with the audio appears to be inaccessible 
flash.  Thus, adjusting volume seems to be no longer possible.  I am able to 
see that there are 2 visual buttons for pause and mute, but I haven't been 
able to make JAWS find them.

For a few years, listening to NHL games on nhl.com was fairly easy and all 
on one page.  Now, it is best described as cumbersome.
