Hockey not a bad spectator sport if you can pay attention to that little puck. Used to watch hockey a lot in the 1970s when I was a growing boy. Used to go to the Boston Garden to see the Bruins play. Hockey is much better when you are at the game. But on television, it's all herky-jerky and hard to follow sometimes. I wish they wouldn't whistle offsides so much. A lot of spectacular plays get called for offsides. So what you get is a lot of slapping of that tiny puck around while the players try to stay onsides. The play is way too conservative as teams are content to sit on a two-goal lead and just spend the rest of the game slapping that puck to the other end for icing. I think icing the puck should result in a penalty shot for the other team!

I say open up the game a little, make that little puck glow bright red, and you got yourself a great game to watch on the television.

Thanks. Any info or link so that I can learn the rules of the game? I confess my hockey viewing has been primarily Walt Disney's Miracle! 😊

It’s the most exciting spectator sport ever. Soccer? It’s landscaping w defense.

Hockey is great in person. You lose something on the TV. I would like to see what it looks like with an 80" high resolution TV and the whole rink being shown rather than having the camera try to chase the action. Save the close-ups for replays.

Didn't Fox try something with having the puck highlighted on TV? I remember special pucks with infrared transmitters along the edge so they could track it.

Hockey used to be terrible to watch on TV. But the advent of widescreen HDTV solved that problem--hockey games on NBC and NBCSN actually look good and with the widescreen, I can actually see the tactics used by NHL coaches in terms of player placement and movement.

Have you seen a game in the last few years? The game is now wide open with the new rules on two line passes, goalies leaving the crease, and interference penalties Etc. I loved the old smash mouth hockey but this new game is actually better.
Give it a try.

At one point a few seasons ago, Fox Sports SW had the puck looking like a comet with a tail as it slapped around the ice. It was rather comical. I like the glowing idea
