NHL.com sucks, right?

[drw02]

It's so terrible, never use that site anymore.

I like how the NHL.tv spoils the winner of a game by highlighting them if you want to watch a game after it's ended.

NHL.com was much better before they change it yes and looked much nicer with the black backround and it was very pleasant to sit and read stats and standings for hours that was the good old days

 

[King'sPawn]

I honestly am wondering if these are web designers who think this is good, or if they are answering to a higher authority who tasked them to vomit everything into an unusable page.

It's a commercialized mess lacking in personality.

 

[Leafidelity]

Remeber this format? Good times

NHL.com - The National Hockey League

This was a good and working site. Not the best but definitely served it purpose.

Whoever created the new site is a HACK. I hope he got ran out of the industry and isn't allowed near other working sites.

We can't have nice things.

I thought the site wasn't great, but it was alright and usable before the remake. After the remake it's garbage. Among other things, I hate when I search a player's name and press enter, then it shows me all the news articles and stuff and no link to his profile is to be found. Apparently you have to avoid pressing enter and then click the thing that shows as a drop-down, but the drop-down is buggy and sometimes doesn't appear at all. Is it so tough having the first search result be the player's profile? This site is so bad I honestly don't think someone could intentionally try to make a site as poorly designed as possible and manage to come up with a worse site than NHL.com.

The old site was like 10000000000000000000000000000000000 times better. Loads way slower, way more difficult to look at in depth stats... looks like crap... I don't know who they paid to do the redesign, but they did a horrible job.

My brother was a graphic designer, and I am very good friends with several "high end" award winning creative firms.

They have told me, NHL.com is likely made for free most likely by someone's nephew, at the direction of "business people".


The objective of the site is clearly to try and generate revenue (via ad, or product sales) rather than promote the game.


It is not a professionally made site. It's also cheaply rolled out to all 31 other NHL teams.

Really? I've never noticed this. I just checked now and the winner isn't indicated for me in any way. What browser are you using? I wonder why you're seeing that.

 

[Kc232]

I guess i'm in the minority because I prefer the new layout (outside of their current way of advertising the fan choice awards on it, thats indeed trash). They probably had to make some design changes to make it more browser size / mobile adaptable. I like how it's less cluttered than the old layout, and once I got used to wear to click for certain recaps and stats, I've had almost zero issue with it.

One suggestion would be to make a night time mode based on the users timezone to inverse the blinding white to gray or black, but thats just me nitpicking.

The Nhl itself sucks

I use chrome, but I am going through my local NHL distributor which might play a role

 

[Muikea Bulju]

They have closed down all the old nhl.com website versions in different languages?

I f***ing hate the new "flat UI" -design.

The website is so f***ing slow. The worst website I know

 

[Paxton Fettel]

Worst possible website, the app is terrible too. The only good part is the stats, the rest is unusable

 

[Channelcat]

Its brutal. Actually the NHL in general is awful. Hockey is great.

 

[Captain Bowie]

I have no idea why so many people think nhl.com it's terrible. Now, the only features I ever use are the stats page, standings and occasionally check out the boxscore of ongoing games. The stats page has tons of filterable options, it's great.

 

[shello]

I don't mind the app. Can't speak for the website, but I find the app is a solid way to get highlights of last night's games.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Nuked their chat rooms.

 

[mr figgles]

It’s not the worst. Ever been to nfl.com? You would think with all of the money they rake in that it would actually be usable. Nope.

 

[Chips]

I typed a whole thing out for this thread, and this he site randomly crashed on me for the 10th time and wiped it out. So I think I like the NHL website/app now lol

 

[TheBigThree]

At least it's not NBA.com

The stats page has a bunch of filterable options true. It's just a shame none of them are the useful ones.

 

[Preds Partisan]

I think the update to the mobile app is great. Dark mode for in game stats and the whole thing seems to run smoother for me.

Website stinks.

 

[bukwas]

I check it out once a year to see if it's improved. Still waiting.
