Agreed - the whole new nhl website is not user friendly at all.
Getting to the gamecentre page from the login page - i don't even know what the correct route is anymore (without having the score spoiled) - fortunately i remain logged in at all times and I bookmarked the page between the login page and gamecentre page with all the daily games to choose from. It doesn't seem like I'm going the right route at all but I can't find any other route to take. There's no more slow motion function; in order to turn the scores on or off you have to leave the video screen (as far as I can tell); I don't really know how to get half of the functions to work yet and I've been playing around for a few days already.
WHAT A MESS.
I know I'm an old fart, but, seriously, sometimes, I think things are changed merely for the sake of change. The old website was great for me, now I don't even want to go to the NHL homepage anymore, partly because of the terrible look - the old dark black/blue background was so much easier to see things not to mention a nicer design - but, that's just me and I've never been very visual or design oriented - I just know that it worked so great for me.
