How you watch a hockey game.....

[Kitty Hawk]

I became a Hawks fan in the late 60s during the "Dollar Bill" Wirtz era when home games weren't televised. It was Lloyd Pettit calling the play by play on the radio or going down to the Chicago Stadium for tickets. To this day I still like listening to games while doing other things.

NHL.tv. I pay more and get worse service/quality and a less functionality than HockeyStreams. NHL should of hired HockeyStreams to handle their online streaming.

I watch the puck on tv, if I’m at the arena I watch it how a scout would.

 

[These Are The Days]

One more thing to add, it's often very informative to just focus on one player and watch him throughout a whole play. Especially if things are quiet and there's not too much drama. That, to me, is where you really come to understand the nuances of the game. Watch a very successful player up and down the ice, then watch his lower-caliber teammate. You start to see where that extra step of speed, that split-second of extra anticipation, or that little bit of floating out of position adds up and makes all the difference.

***This is very good advice for beginner fans***
