WC: the IIHF website creator should be fired

[Zamuz]

Never seen as badly designed website for a tournament.

I can't be the only one who thinks this way?

Its awful this year.

As long as the NHL site creator has a job he should be fine though.

 

[Iceman]

Both this and nhl.com are trash and sadly both were at least useable before... this IIHF website is something else though... yuck.

 

[Iceman]

Btw, I’ve yet to manage to navigate to the scoresheet of a game on my phone.

 

[SpoolCat]

Do they still do the power rankings? Also my computer gave me a warning about the IIHF website and I have never see it do that before.

 

[TheNip]

It's an abomination!

 

[dimi19]

for all international tournaments, i always just go to the wiki page of that specific tourney. always simple and easy to read and understand

I have had virus warnings about iihf site before, and yes they do power rankings although to find them you have to go through more hassle as they are completely part of news section now.

 

[Past Considerations]

On mobile better to use the Android / iOS app, which is actually well done.

...and boxscore during the game?

Flashscore is really good for live in-game stats, plus video of every goal.

 

[tony d]

Just clicked on it, it looks decent enough to me but I can see where changes could be made.

 

[chauron]

And where is that said bad ux? Links?

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Can anyone get the site to even load?

 

[ijuka]

Yep, you're absolutely correct. The website is absolute gutter trash.

 

[admire]

I completely agree...i will give iihf credit for improving on their videos, replacing their shit announcers(number 21 GOOOOOAAAALLLLL) they have been slowly improving

May as well add eliteprospects to the list

NHL.com is equally bad. I avoid it like the plague, still checking results on the Swedish NHL.com site in the old design, despite not understanding a single word in Swedish.

It's a world-wide trend, folks. They compete for the worst-ever site design. All sites are now designed as if all of us were sight-impaired.

Yes, the PDF-based tournament sites in previous years were awful, but this is no improvement.

Except that the Wikipedia "mobile design" is no less atrocious than what the tournament site gives us! A worldwide trend, like I said.

I agree that the traditional Wikipedia desktop design works best. However, even Wikipedia keeps forcing that hideous "mobile design" onto our phones and tablets, it can't be permanently disabled in settings, and you need to disable it pretty much every time manually. I have complained to Wikipedia about it as their paying supporter, but it's hopeless. It's a worldwide disease.

 

[Lepardi]

NHL.com is equally bad.

It's not. At least on NHL.com you can see the game clock when you check the current scores. That's been missing on IIHF tournament pages for as long as I can remember.

No, you are absolutely correct. You need a doctoral degree in physics to figure out what the game schedule is!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

It's a little clunky, but it's not that terrible.

The guys behind that site hang around here

My only problem with EP is the constant fullscreen ads, but gotta make some money to keep it going. Awesome source.

It's a little clunky, but it's not that terrible.

when you can't click the calendar days for games, it's already terrible.
