  1. Good point, I forgot the technology for tracking the position of the puck was created a long time ago, remember those blue/red puck streaks... https://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ece848d/lectures/03_some_sports_technologies.pdf
  2. I'm sure there's all kinds of technical difficulties to get something like this working with perfect accuracy. It's not exactly an easy problem to solve. It's one of those things that sounds simple to achieve on paper. Sure just put a chip in it to detect when the puck is completely over the line. Honestly, I'd be surprised if they're anywhere close to the accuracy of someone just looking at multiple camera angles.
  3. Several of the rinks by me do adult hockey clinics, I did some of them when I was first learning, there was lots of beginners. Those were good because there was a coach that would have us do drills and teach us stuff. You could see if any rinks in your area do this. After that I joined a beginner league at one of the rinks, they keep it so its mostly people that are very new to hockey, and there's just 2 teams. This is in San Diego, where most people don't grow up skating, so it might be more beginner friendly here.
  4. I voted other, when I goto AHL games here, there's a canadian place in the arena that sells really good Poutine.
  5. I gotta vote for Legwand's perfectly placed shot from the slot.
  6. Maybe the name is a throw back to the California Golden Seals
  7. They must've changed the rules this season? I remember kaleta getting suspended for less than that...
  8. I wish they'd replace Milbury with John Scott, that would make broadcasts so much better.
  9. The NHL website stats section lets you do start/end dates if you view statistics by GAME. http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?reportType=game&report=skatersummary&startDate=2015-12-25&endDate=2016-03-13&gameType=2&sort=points&aggregate=1&pos=S
  10. Haha, you mean Team Chevrolet? I'm gonna hate it when they start plastering the jerseys with ads in the US.
  11. Nobody from Mexico made it on Team North America?
  12. Hmmm, well those shoulders don't look nearly as bad as the ones in that video on the twitter that was posted earlier. The elbows are pretty massive, they're a lot more square compared to the non-Pro version. Whatever, make the goals bigger.
  13. Well, I'm pretty sure if they switched to less bulky gear, it would be just as protective as it is now. They're not going to be wearing what you're wearing, they'd be wearing top of the line gear designed to protect against NHL caliber shots. Just removing all of the puck blocking (non-protective) bulk is what people are talking about.
  14. Well, I am, I'm going to the game with my dad. Excited to finally see Eichel and Reinhart in person.
