i think hockey on TV is pretty good, actually. it helps to have been to a lot of games live, so it is not a problem following the puck. i HATE when broadcasts have the glowing puck... we used to have a "fox bots" drinking game freshman year as i vaguely recall, i think there was some rule for the glowing puck.... |
I spent about 4 years in San Diego (military family). Went to a bunch of Padres, Gulls, and Sockers games...only one Charger game, though.
As for televised hockey, I think it works better after you've seen it live...kind of like soccer or lacrosse. I used to watch all of those sports on TV and I was lost...but once I went to a game live, they were much easier to watch on television. I wish I had a copy of the hockey broadcast I did...it was so funny. I was back in college & they had a southerner (me), and a guy from Roxbury, Mass. calling the game. The only way we were able to call it was to relate it to other sports. Examples: "That was a fierce check into the boards...much like a free saftey tackling a wide reciever over the middle". "That was a great pass...in hockey, the center is like the point guard in basketball, he distributes the puck and makes things happen." An hour & a half of that...classic.
