NHL Network "On The Fly"

Sully · 01-25-2008, 03:28 PM

I recently upgraded to the sports package on Comcast,and was pleasantly surprised to now be getting the NHL Network. It's a lot like the NFL Network... Classic games, studio shows, etc.
But the one great thing about it is a real highlight show every night. Even if you don't like hockey, if you want to see how a highlight show should be done, this is where to look. Instead of showing the 3 seconds between the first assist and the puck hitting the back of the net, they show a complete clip setting up each play. Some of the clips last for 30 seconds or more. It really lends to a better understanding of the game, and is fun to watch. I understand that other sports don't always lend themselves to such shows or clips, ad I also understand the glitter networks feel they need to add in order to keep our admittedly short attention. But it's nice to see a show where the focus is on the game, rather than the music/sounds/graphics.

It was added to DTV's HD package about a month or so ago, and I've been enjoying it ever since.

The Classic Playoff Series show is very well done, as is the one called Relive the Magic, where they break down one game.
