Hockey not a bad spectator sport if you can pay attention to that little puck. Used to watch hockey a lot in the 1970s when I was a growing boy. Used to go to the Boston Garden to see the Bruins play. Hockey is much better when you are at the game. But on television, it's all herky-jerky and hard to follow sometimes. I wish they wouldn't whistle offsides so much. A lot of spectacular plays get called for offsides. So what you get is a lot of slapping of that tiny puck around while the players try to stay onsides. The play is way too conservative as teams are content to sit on a two-goal lead and just spend the rest of the game slapping that puck to the other end for icing. I think icing the puck should result in a penalty shot for the other team!

I say open up the game a little, make that little puck glow bright red, and you got yourself a great game to watch on the television.
