I wonder if you could do some kind of keying pass to strip them out of the broadcast. There's likely no field info or anything though

I'm glad they solved the problem of the puck being too easy to follow in the HD era

Only a matter of time before they add 30 minutes to the broadcasts and fill it up with more commercial breaks.

I don't care about jersey ads, the boards thing is more annoying to me. Feels like it's a big distraction.

It's not like he was going to be the lynchpin in the Penguins season but them losing Zohorna to wavers is some galaxy brain player management on their part. I'd have preferred him to Archibald any day of the week. Godspeed Zohorna, may you hold down the 4th line for the Flames.

Absolutely. Virtual ads on the boards (whether animated or not, but especially if animated) as well as on the ice are way worse than jersey ads.

I just can't deal with the unnatural CG look.

At least they'll use the best tech and ensure it doesn't glitch out all the time and completely fall apart when some nsow flies off the ice.

They're still using him as 3C in practice today so it seems like they're planning on him clearing and they're just doing capspace fuckery
probably more GM collusion behind the scenes but hey, preseason is not a time to be making enemies

The NHL's solution to the complaint from new fans that they have difficulty tracking the puck is to add animated graphics at ice level to make sure established fans have trouble with that too.

Imagine having temper tantrums like a chronic sports gambler when things don't go your way but it was just your 9-5 job tanking instead of a prop bet.

Glad to see we've reached the "everyone is too high on the Devils" portion of the preseason projections.

Speaking of models that are way too high on certain teams, I don't get why Jfresh's loves the Islanders so much every year:

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
The last couple models' positivity about the Caps' prospects is making me think that this is the year the wheels fall off after all.

Iles are great! Devils are great! Calgary ripping two top guys out and plugging two other top guys I will barely impact them! Vancouver is... Good? Great! Washington got a keeper above replacement level and everyone else got a year older? As good as Colorado!

I'm here for chaos season, as always. Where I disagree with jfresh is that the Stars are getting 100pts, baby!

He clearly doesn't care about defense if he thinks that Vancouver is getting to 98 points, even in the shitshow that is the Pacific

Jfresh had the Flyers at like 108 points last year and I haven't been able to take him seriously since.

Here's my model: all of last season's playoff teams except LA get 100 +/- 5 points. Another 6-7 teams get 90 +/- 5 points.

In more Pens news sounds like P.O. Joseph is on the block before he gets waivered away for free

So the return for Kessel coming off an 82 point season amounted to 1 horrid partial season of Galchenyuk and a dman that can't outplay Ty Smith in camp
