Where to watch the games in the US (I assume the rest of the world would not have any problems getting the info):
ESPN2 - live on Tue and Wed on game days
ESPN Classic - taped delay (of a different game) on game days
SETANTA - live on game days (different game)

There are free web streams on ESPN360 of all the games but whether you have access to that will depend on your ISP (damn TWC).

I'll be updating this post with scores and as the next rounds games form.
