this rear end in a top hat was cheering loud and obnoxious every time the islanders scored at this bar and now i want them to lose their remaining games by 5 goals. also the Barclays Center is the worst place to watch hockey

Hockey is hard to watch if you aren't familiar with the flow of the game, the rules and if you don't have a sense of where the puck/action is going to be before is happens.

Anyone remember when (fox?) started airing games with some ridiculous neon glow drawn over the puck as well as glow trails? They thought it would make the game more viewer friendly or some poo poo :lol:

Hotpuck sort of helped in the days of analogue TVs and bad picture quality. Couldn't see poo poo on those tiny TVs, being all blazed up and drunk as gently caress as I was back then.

Spare batteries are pretty key.

Yeah, the players didn't like it because the puck bounced differently and real fans thought it was ugly as hell. Fortunately HD TVs make watching hockey easy.

The cameras do a pretty good job of following the puck when you watch on TV. In person you just have to pay attention or not have glaucoma

somebody who works at where i went to college actually has one of the glow pucks. usually when they went into the stands, the teams would send people out to get it from someone who had it, but for whatever reason, they never went for her
