Makes me wonder why they have not been able to use the new high-def tvs and micro cameras to make it more interesting. Gosh, if they can make NASCAR a mainstream sport with the new technology, you'd think a really dynamic and athletic sport like hockey could be made to work. But it has become more of a fringe sport than ever in the U.S.
For a whle they did have some "tricks" they tried to make the TV experience better. They put a red contrail on the puck so one could follow it better along with making the "boards" disappear so one could see the puck and the players feet when the got to nearside boards. Didn't catch on much.
Y'all are blind as bats if you can't follow the puck on camera!!!
The real problems is the camera can't follow the puck all the time.

That's because American cameramen apparently don't know how to film hockey. If it wasn't for that talking penis in a suit (learn how to say Detroit!!) I'd exclusively watch Canadian hocky broadcasting.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

That makes some sense CP, it's not hard to follow the play watching hockey. :D

You mean Canada actually has its own television stations?

Yes, we got it around the same time that the Welsh stopped using shoemakers to pull their teeth.

The fact that you knew who I was talking about speaks volumes doesn't it?

I like Ron MacLean's expression in that last pic!

Yeah, it's like, "when I am finally going to be rid of this asshole once and for all?"

Picture how much of a tool someone would have to be to dress that way. Then multiply that times 20 and you'll have something close to Don Cherry's personality.
