If Hockey wants to do better, it needs to do two things.
1) Widen the TV shots. The players look smaller and the puck might be harder to see, which leads to...
2) BRING BACK THE GLOWING PUCK. That was one of the BEST inventions in TV sports. That 1st down line is nice for football, that K-Zone for baseball is a nice little gadget, that...ok, basketball has nothing, maybe the floor cam but that's useless...Anyways, that little glowing puck Fox created was the best invention for TV sports, and one of the best things for Hockey in a long time. Screw the cost, this is the biggest key to gaining new fans for the NHL.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
