I'm all for innovation in hockey broadcasts, but the SkyCam makes my stomach turn. How do you feel about it?
Let's be real about it: hockey sucks on television, and it's probably one of the main reasons why it's not as popular as it could be in the United States.
The game is hard to follow and the rules can be complex and hey where's the puck and holy crap they're going fast and what are all these line changes oh my goodness I'm just gonna go watch Seinfeld re-runs instead. The excitement you feel in-person at an NHL game just doesn't come through on the typical television broadcast.
