The quality of NHL feeds is a bit frustrating at times...then again, I'm forced to watch games on the MSG Go app airplayed from my phone to my TV, which probably doesn't help. Although the NHL doesn't seem to care at all that the animated board ads totally take away from the quality of the picture (players are grainy when skating in front of them and sticks and pucks routinely disappear).
It's also ridiculous that they have ads pop up during play, when there are plenty of stoppages to show them. The worst for me is when the Islanders are on the overflow channel and you get the non-stop alerts telling you how to find the channel...which I'm convinced help absolutely no one. We're at least lucky that we don't have the Bally Sports feed, which has the score bug on the bottom of the screen (makes no sense as that often covers part of the play whereas on the top it's often over the crowd), plus non-stop scrolling of scores and betting odds, which is rather distracting. Really all I want is the opportunity to watch the actual game in peace, without a ton of distractions (including glitching board and on ice/glass ads) trying to focus my attention elsewhere. Given a 60 minute game typically takes 2 1/2 hours, there's plenty of time for that crap in between plays.
