1637624846338146316 | @jtbourne You know what would be sweeter? If the viewer could turn it on or off. | 188 |
1637641418393919489 | @jtbourne I’m very pro-tail. I’ve introduced hockey to a handful of people I’ve met in the US who weren’t hockey fans. Every single one of them said they had a hard time tracking the puck. Hockey fans forget how that it’s not really natural or obvious for non fans. | 98 |
1637680722373648384 | @jtbourne Between the puck tail and the name indicators above the players, it’s like you’re watching someone play a video game | 49 |
1638533509492129792 | @jtbourne Narrow-minded views of the NHL focused specifically on their brand and not looking at how events like the Olympics or a World Cup could grow the game itself, and thus help grow the NHL. | 44 |
1637623539426643969 | @JeffVeillette @jtbourne I can get on board with it but the nameplates drive me nuts. It's not an accessibility feature, it's just noise. | 41 |
1637653471297155073 | @jtbourne Is this your first time watching hockey? Just watch the puck this only makes tracking it harder | 30 |
1637790082752200705 | @jtbourne To non hockey fans I'd assume it's awesome. As a hardcore fan that has no problem tracking the puck I hate it. | 29 |
