I could probably do mlb.tv for jays games, and nhl game center for nhl.

I don't have a dedicated home PC, although I could probably get an old one from work, but Ive got a ps3 & wii if that matters.

The league's format is identical to last season with one change that Yahoo seems to have put into place in the off season regarding allowing injured players from waivers or free agents to be added directly to injury slot.
