CAredwingsfan91 28 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 *** the only cool thing ever about the glow puck was when Owen Nolan pointed at Haseks glove side and you can see the trail of it fly right by his glove in the all star game. i'm the great bambino! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cern 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Although during tonight's game I saw something about having a sensor set up just behind the goal line so that the goal light is automatically set off when the puck crosses it. I wouldn't mind something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 I have been asking since Fox used the glow puck... Why can't we use this technology for the goal light instead? I mean seriously...if you place sensors inside the puck, and a corresponding set of sensors inside the goal frame, you could very easily and with existing technology build a system that determines conclusively if a puck enters the net. Won't have any say on the validity of the goal, other than that the puck entered the net. But that is often a major point of contention in goal reviews.

pavyaz19 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 finish reading the article, he says the puck will NOT bear a chip, instead a puck tracking system will be put in use during play analysis... just like when Mickey uses the telestrator. This could be a great idea as long as it's not used during play... otherwise I'll sue Bettman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Won't have any say on the validity of the goal, other than that the puck entered the net. But that is often a major point of contention in goal reviews. See my post. I saw something about exactly this during tonight's game on TSN. It's a small thin red line behind the goal line spaced slightly further than the width of a puck. Putting some kind of chip in the puck allows the goal light to go off when the puck is between the two lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. But they aren't worried about YOU and I... because YOU and I are already hardcore hockey fans, they know we're hooked so they could care less about us. Now they are looking for gimmicks to attract new fans. Bettman does not care about us. Period. Edited May 13, 2008 by pavyaz19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikeal 60 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 You know everyone that watches Hockey as a long time fan is against this. Fact is this is good for new fans. The game is hard to follow on TV, especially when its not in HD. We may not like it was hardcore hockey fans but I think this is a benefit for new fans that have trouble following the game, knowing where to expect the flow of the game to go.

Yzermania 156 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 growing up a kid of the 90's, I've got to say, I loved the glow puck and the NHL on FOX. Granted, back in 97 and 98, I was only between the ages of 11-12 so it probabaly had alot more appeal for that reason but now when I watch old videos, I catch myself thinking "that was so cool"...maybe just out of the nostalgic sense, but I wouldn't mind it. You surely could see what was going on on plays along the inside boards much better and the slap shots with a red stream of light just seemed so much more powerful haha.

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 I liked knowing the speed of the puck, and when it was along the close boards it was neat to be able to see where it was. But other than that... eh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

imisssergei 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 It was kinda neat back in the day, especially in instances like Nolan beating Dom. It really doesn't bother me for two reasons: 1. I kinda like it, it lets me watch more of the game and less time telling my lady friend where to look for the puck. 2. Some people actually watching the game with it, and those who really love hockey will get over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
