My enjoyment of a game does not rest solely upon whether I know the 
score or not.  However, it certainly does significantly diminish the 
experience when I know whether to expect another goal to be scored or 
not.  The uncertainty is part of the fun.

I'm used to participating in forums where result disclosure restrictions 
are attempted, so I guess I just don't see why it's a big deal to avoid 
putting the result in the subject line.

(And, I was not spoiled on this game... I only read my e-mail at home, 
and I specifically avoided looking at my Hockey-L folder because I 
anticipated that there might be spoilers.)
