am sitting watvching the Detroit game and i find it really hard to actually follow the puck. Does ity get easier the more games you watch as i am sitting watching and cant follow the puck
why dont they make the puck brighter so people can see it ?
i love US sports but hockey hard to watch as i cant keep track of the game. It is obv a very skilfull sport and i saw Mowers score a superb goal but its hard to actually see what is going on and it must be worse being at the game
is it just me ?

take it easy

I guess a soccer ball is easier for you...

I just started watching pux three seasons ago on accounta my wagering on it.

It will indeed become easier to follow the puck.

I find hockey as most interesting to watch now compared to basketball or football. It's akin to soccer of course, but in such a smaller, tighter field and so much faster.

you should be watching Colorado, not Detroit

Sorry bro but it is hard to follow the puck. However the more you get to know the sport the easier it becomes if not only because you can tell by the actions of the players where the biscuit is. Also I watch the Center Ice package and some telecasts are better than others. Some of the cameras like to show half the stands as well as the entire rink. Forget trying to see the puck....find the players! Others are much better. The Bruins show their games in HDTV and trust me the sport was made for HDTV. It's amazing to watch and almost better than being there.
Hang in there and enjoy the mystery of wondering who's got the puck.

O.L.F., it gets much easier with a little experience. TV at its worst is better than radio, though. Some of the play-by-play guys just can't keep up with the speed of the passing while trying to pronounce the players' names. If it wasn't for icing and offsides thay'd probably choke to death.

He scooooooorrrreeesssss. Whew.
