Like?The stats page has a bunch of filterable options true. It's just a shame none of them are the useful ones.
Yes, their videos never load half the time and I think they’re still using flash for the desktop version.
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.
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.
For hardcore fans / betting purposes, the site should have as easy as possible access to:
-list of game results by team X in a match (the old nhl.com had direct links / popups, the new nhl.com does not have a list of previous games by team, at all)
-previews / expected line-ups (the new nhl.com is slow as **** even with this)
The old site:
-had more info
-was 9000x faster
-had better design for the PC
The current website is a part of the modern fad of "flat UI" -websites, that have been made for the moronic phone users. For the random morons who just visit for 10seconds.
If you would care to actually compare the current site to the old one, you would know that the old one was much, much, much better
The actual info on the stat-site is irrelevant, they could've put that in the old stat-site.
Going years back if I recall correctly NHL fans were always ahead of the other big 4 fans in terms of technology use, so wouldn't be surprised if a lot of use is still on desktop.
But yes to pile it on using Firefox myself I noticed for the last year that having the score page open during game time is a memory leak. Leave a tab open and unattended for an hour or two and next thing you know it's using a gig of RAM and just continues to keep growing.
The NHL is easily the biggest dinosaur of the major sports leagues so it's only fitting that their website is also outdated.
I don't watch nba, mlb or nfl, so no, I've never been there. And no, I don't care.
The website is used by people who don't know they have better options, the website is run by people who hate those people.
I'm sick of the self-promoting ads before most videos. Now it's a 15-second silent ad for Hispanic Heritage Month, and i get it before watching every single 30-second goal highlight. I really dont understand it. If they want to promote Hispanic Heritage, how about a banner ad? Their own ads don't even generate revenue.....
