@Jethro I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it's not working for me. I'm a newbie when it comes to scripting so it's possible I put what you gave me in wrong. It shows "gathering info" or even "NHL Scores" but never actually displays anything. Maybe it's the site it's using for feeds. I still get:

[06:01p] <User1> .nhl
[06:01p] <_User2>  Gathering nhl info please wait.....
[06:01p] <User1> .nhl vancouver
[06:01p] <_User2>  NHL Scores

If it's working on your end do you mind posting the whole code to make sure I'm doing it right? I've also posted this over at the mirc snippet forum since I felt bad about clogging up your comments and wasting your time. I appreciate your help.
