YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted April 28, 2007 I got to NHL.com a lot to check the scores of the game. I don't know why I waste my time - I guess its just a habit - but the amount of errors on that site is ridiculous. Youd think the official site for the league would be the one you could go to for all the right information - apparently not. Today is a perfect example. I only saw the last 10 minutes of the game today, but after the game was over, I went to check how the game went down according to the scores and apparently, Pavel Datsyuk's goal today was an empty netter. Now, I understand that Datsyuk did have Nabby beat and the net was gaping, but still, how can you screw up something so simple?? On top of that, it took them about a week after the playoffs started for them to actually put up the playoff stats. Now, I can tolerate this crap from sites like ESPN - its expected - but its just embarassing for the site to have such stupid mistakes. Sorry for the rant, but its been bugging me for a few years now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seraph 240 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 What gets on my nerves is that they take seven years to put up highlights. By the time they're up (in the regular season), I've lost interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 You guys in here get worked up so unnecessarily over the most miniscule things in here sometimes. They made a mistake, who cares? We all know what happened, who assisted the goal, etc. etc., and it's not like the site has crashed or has been down for 4 days straight or something, Lighten up.

I think that the point about this kind of complaining is that the NHL is struggling to maintain and improve its image and its fan base. When the "OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE" doesn't even care enough to make sure that the statistics that it posts are accurate, then it really doesn;t put their best foot forward.

Wingfan191 2 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 ESPN's site also had Datsyuk's goal as an empty netter at first too. There's like one agency that supplies all the sites with the stats and boxscores. So don't blame NHL.com for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So don't blame NHL.com for it. In that case, I would say it's the fault of the AP. They usually write the postgame articles and such, and probably got the stats wrong. Of course, we could always follow a LGW tradition and say what how the guys at ESPN are bunch of idiots and non-hockey savvy dumbf***s. Care to join in?

Nic 59 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 I get the scores sent to me via text after every period of every game (I travel a lot and want to keep up). I got it though Hotmail and MSN. Today I got a report of "Detroit 2 - San Jose 2 after the 3rd period". Glad I was actually home for this one, eh?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingsWingsWings 3 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 I was actually watching the game on CBS Sportsline and the "glog" (game log) they have, while I was at work. It's pretty good. I like how it marks where shots were taken from and where the goalie was shot at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

esteef 2,679 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 Even the "Frozen Moment" thing, which I like btw, is a lame photo this time. Granted, it's from the Wings/Sharks game so I can't complain too much but it's just such a nothing shot. This photo would've been much better. wurd, esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
