LOL,
You mean you can see the puck without that big Fox Streak behind it?
That's pretty good for an American. Hehe.

I hate that fox streak. My god i know where the puck is going so it annoys me to death that they do that. Also with that streak you can never tell if the puck is in the air. I am glad i don't see it anymore because it sucks. However, until i get hockey night in canada with Don Cherry doing Coaches corner i am never satisfied

Im guessing its a computerised trail that is superimposed onto the screen showing where the puck has been.. probably recedes after a couple of seconds...
How close to the mark am i?

That's pretty much it....
the streak is blue when the puck is hit and red when it's a slap shot.
They also make the side of the ring transparent so you can follow the puck...
God, I hate hockey...playing must be loads of fun though....

LOL- Ice Hockey 3rd best Sport? I guess you're right... 1. OpenWheel Racing 2. Football (soccer- not the girly American Football)  3. Ice Hockey 4. Tennis  Worst 4: 4. Figure Skating 3. Gymnastics 2. American Football and the number one most boring sport of all: 1. Baseball |

Wycco,
Looking at your classification, I believe it's time you watched a motorcycle race. I believe there's one this weekend! Woohoo!!
Check out the Grand Prix (125cc, 250cc and MotoGP), or a Superbike race.

Actually,
I do like Motorcycle racing!
-And perhaps if I were to have access to motorcycle racing on TV- and thus become more familiar with it- I would rank it high on my list. But I can only base my rankings based on my limited life experiences.
I've not got as much out of motorcycle racing as I have, say football- because I cannot identify with it as easily.

Hell yes i can see the puck with out that streak. Remember i ahve played at all levels since i was 6. You get use to the puck in relation of the people. I know what the guy usually is thinking before he does it so it is just a matter of if he applies it. If you follow enough hockey you just know.
As for Soccer being #2 i rate it as the worlds worst sport. I don't like sports where i see guys fake an injury after a guy steps on his toe. until they have full contact open check soccer it is not a sport.

ROFLMAO...that was freaking beautiful!
I'm still laughing as I type this...too funny! The infamous Fox Streak...LOL! You do have to admit, the technology is pretty cool!
Anyways, I've been watching hockey before the streak, so I don't get lost watching Hockey games!!! LOL...I can't wait for Thursday, Dallas opens AT Colorado (Avalanche) and then they're home for the infamous Detroit Red Wings!!! Hey TC, I feel another beer bet coming on...LOL!
Later,

i skated in Peterborough ontario with grapes once. He is a clown on the ice just like he is off. He is the most "in your face kiss my ass" kind of guy i have ever met. the best part is that he will say something offending someone and when he catches hell for it he basically says F- you i am not apollogizing, becuase i meant everything i said about you. I love it when he tells his guys to shut up they don't know what they are talking about on the air. haha good fun
Grapes -the only guy that will call Wayne Gretzgy a punk to his face and not have to worry about some goon going after him.
