NHL Announces Plan To Resume

[TheBigA]

There are still a lot of holes in the announcement, but the NHL says they will resume the season this summer in two hub cities. Dates & cities to be named later. Practice to begin after July 1:

NBC is obviously thrilled, since they own the TV rights, and can't wait to show anything involving pucks and goals.

Also 24 teams might return to the NHL whenever they are allowed to be on the Ice.

Does anyone find it ironic that first sport that may be back is perhaps the hardest to watch via tv and devices?

In KC can watch Blues fine.

I meant the sport in general and it is the worst to follow tv wise.

I got the same complaint from my father from the beginnings of my interest in hockey to last season: "I can't follow the puck." You know what I always told him? "If you watch enough hockey on TV, you get to anticipate where the puck is going. I don't see it much of the time, either." He never watched much TV hockey, though -- none at all on his own, and when I was around and wanted to watch, he'd find a book to read, a puzzle to solve, or a cassette or CD to listen to through headphones.

This anecdote is based strictly on watching the sport on a full-size TV screen. I can't imagine trying to watch hockey on a smart phone.
