Fuck Bettman. That greesy asshole has ruined the NHL. His stupid green screen ads have made games unwatchable.

I'm not certain these are the same type of ads you're talking about, but I want to chime in on the too many #$@%ing ads topic. My hockey watching is pretty much limited to Leafs playoff games, although I watch a lot of NBA, MLB, and CFL games - so I know sports broadcasts. Anyway, the ads along the sideboards that 'fly in' on NHL TV broadcasts are ridiculous, imo, in how much of a 'suppression of visual distraction' (mental effort) it takes to follow the puck and game as a viewer

They should put like a blue glowing outline on the puck to make it easier the follow. And, like, make it streak red when someone does a slapped shot to make it more exciting! Subscribe to my channel for more groundbreaking hockey ideas.

I would take the glowing puck back over what they've done with flashing banner ads everywhere. At least one attempted to draw your eye toward the play.
