MWH,
I do not know if the Total Recorder software's video-capture add-on can process a 3+-hourlong event. I've mostly used just their audio recording feature. Your best bet is to canvass local friends to see who has a DVR they can put at your disposal, but transferring the game from DVR to DVD takes a DVD burner in addition to the DVR (recorder), if you don't want to watch the game on their TV but make it portable.
A game takes at least 2 DVDs, so the friend has to be willing to swap in a fresh DVD for the second half of the game (and a third one if it goes into overtime). VHS, on the other hand, can carry up to 6 hours of medium-quality videotape if you have or can use someone's VHS recorder/player. But the reality is that even if the Wings win, it's just not as exciting if you know what happened.
