they claim its to make the game more easy to follow with fans...that's funny I thought a black puck on a white ice was pretty easy to follow. Silly me, colors closer together create the better contrast.
Call me a traditionalist but this is retarded. Next thing you know, teams will be coordinating colors to match their team colors. why don't we just paint the ice the colors of the highest bidding corporation...oh wait we already give them space on the ice for ads I guess painting the whole surface would just be over the top.
