Just a random late-offseason thought I had...
Back in the day, scoreboards in NHL arenas displayed the names of the teams, the score, the period, the time remaining, the shot count, and space for two penalties per team.
Now, it seems like each arena has a lot more live action stats showing on their multimillion dollar boards, including things like hits, faceoffs won, players on the ice at any given time, etc.
How much is too much? At what point do in-game stats turn a scoreboard into an LED Excel spreadsheet?
Which club's board has the right balance? Which are missing something?
Anyway, I'm bored on Labor Day and miss hockey.
