Easily fake. The NHL logos are supposed to be logos of gambling sites, insurance companies, and beer manufacturers.

TNT didnt do that for the last game... i'll bet they'll bring it back for the regular season.

it's moronic.

if you want to do that garbage have a ticker on the bottom of the screen that shows names on ice... the constant jumping on the screen is beyond distracting. i know i cant concentrate on the game... f***ing madness

I know it’s a change to increase league revenue but I would rather have 2 more regular season games over 2 of the preseason games.

Shortening the preseason has not worked well for the NFL in terms of quality of play nor injury prevention - though I'd imagine it has increased revenue.

Hockey "camp" is basically three days now before exhibition games start. Would hate to see it shortened even further.

I don't watch the NFL but didn't they only get rid of 1 week of camp and get rid of 1 preseason game? What's going on there that 1 week is making that big of a difference? Don't they still have like 3-4 weeks of camp and 3 pre-season games?

The NFL did the correct thing in my view. The fourth preseason game was just a final tryout for a handful of players. Teams were really only gearing up in three games. But I understand why it could be seen differently.

Vegas won't be losing their spot as the league's biggest heel franchise any time soon.

The usual suspects are in the main board thread acting like this is completely fair.

f***ing revolting

They don't have to have him on LTIR, which means they can start the year under the cap honestly, instead of being into LTIR, so they can accrue cap space.

Functionally I don't think it matters that much. The LITR system is bullshit, I don't think having to put a dude on LTIR for years on end just so he gets paid out his money is really the best solution in general. I think there should probably be some sort of (with league or third party approval of some kind) injury retirement, where a player can receive his paycheck, but everybody acknowledges he's done so we don't have to do the LTIR game.

I hate how the league makes up rules on the fly that clearly demonstrate their objectively obvious biases.
