I've got 2 main gripes with the NHL Network... 1. Their score/news ticker. Could it be any more intrusive? It covers a good fourth of the screen and looks horrible. This is something that MLB Net definitely got right. Their ticker is smooth, sleek, and only crawls on the very bottom of the screen. The NHL ticker really pissed me off during the 08-09 playoffs because when I was watching replays of "out of area" games they were scrolling the scores for those particular games DURING the games. 2. On the Fly in SD as opposed to HD. The pillar boxes look terrible, and I dont care what anyone says, watching ANY hockey in SD is insufferable and a royal pain in the ass. ESPECIALLY if you have an HDTV. If the RSN's Intermission Reports provide clips from other games (even other networks) in full WIDESCREEN HD, why can't On the Fly? Completely unacceptable. Great article!

What a disappointment. Look at MLB,NFL AND NBA networks. They constantly show vintage games and features on their alltime greats. Nhl network shows games from this year all summer long. I think they have one half hour show on Orr. Its a joke. With the NHL's great history you think they could show some classic player features and vintage games. I talked to people from the NHL VIDEO PRODUCTION TEAM and they don't seem like they are very interested in showing classic video. Again this is the same problem ,the NHL does not know how to market their own game.Comcast and NHL network please give me more constant repeats and CLASSIC games from 2008 and 2009. Thats much better than watching Orr,Lafleur,Hull etc. IDIOTS I was so excited when the NHL network first became available in the US. What a disappointment. Look at MLB,NFL AND NBA networks.

As a hockey fan in the States I was thrilled when the NHL Network started on DirecTV and rejoice that it brings me games from Hockey Night in Canada and TSN. But, the summer programming has been terrible and needs to get better. Having said all that, the really big issue facing the NHL in the States is the spat between Versus/Comcr@p and DirecTV which threatons to take hockey away from millions of viewers.

The set looks cheap. Flip over to the MLB Network or heck, even ESPN’s Baseball Tonight and both of those shows feature expansive sets with their own little fields for the analysts to do demonstrations. Couldn’t we get a small sport-court rink for Gary Green to show viewers why certain offensive and defensive systems work or don’t work? What about the coach from those great NHL Network commercials? What could he be up to? Maybe he can the run mock rink for when Green is off? [...] [...] View From My Seats feels the same way I do about this topic. The set looks cheap.
