I do notice sometimes its panned in too close though. The occasions where it is panned out enough to span the entire end of the ice, or very close to though, its a great way to watch a power play.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892367633984292438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-83677200582481178572008-10-29T22:51:00.000-07:002008-10-29T22:51:00.000-07:00I'm telling you guys, the Ducks-Kings game was bad...I'm telling you guys, the Ducks-Kings game was bad, but the Ducks-Coyotes game from a while ago was done very well.

Why? Because you can follow the puck wherever it goes.</I><BR/><BR/>So true, I feel like the games I give the worst recaps for are games I attend in Row B. Certainly I can see things on certain plays on one end of the rink, but I've trained myself to turn to the jumbotron if the puck's going to one of the corners.<BR/><BR/>You really should be making more of these ice charts, btw.
