Lol at Preds-Bolts, but I'm still watching.

Disappointed that the digital board ads look just as bad as last season. In the preseason they used simulated motion blur on them which looked great, but gently caress that I guess. Some people even get motion sickness because of how unnatural the lack of motion blur makes them look during camera movement; I just find it distracting.

This was preseason:


This is today, sad:

The fact that they were apparently testing motion blur on the digital ads over the preseason, and to my eye it worked flawlessly, only to see them revert back to the old poo poo that everyone hated for the regular season, it boggles the mind.

The frequent ad changes with the short animations are certainly the more obvious problem at first glance, but the constant unnatural movement, considering how much the camera keeps panning in a hockey game, it just ruins my day.

Gary Bettman spoke to it at the start of last season and the gaslighting piece of poo poo said “what are people spending time looking at ads for, watch the hockey game”. Never wanted to strangle a boomer over the tubes before that moment.

they're not trying to contend are they? They sold off a lot of pieces over the summer and added nothing

but at the same time, Saros may be good enough to win them more games that they'd want to for a decent draft pick

I'm still irritated that they stopped calling embellishment penalties. For the past few seasons we've gotten overly dramatic acting to draw penalties over nothing. Tampa's already pulling this bullshit

Bring back the embellishment penalty goddammit :mad:
