Fuck Bettman. That greesy asshole has ruined the NHL. His stupid green screen ads have made games unwatchable.

I'm not certain these are the same type of ads you're talking about, but I want to chime in on the too many #$@%ing ads topic. My hockey watching is pretty much limited to Leafs playoff games, although I watch a lot of NBA, MLB, and CFL games - so I know sports broadcasts. Anyway, the ads along the sideboards that 'fly in' on NHL TV broadcasts are ridiculous, imo, in how much of a 'suppression of visual distraction' (mental effort) it takes to follow the puck and game as a viewer

Chirping in, it’s probably because you watch the Leafs.

No but for real, I agree. The amount of ads since Covid has increased drastically and it’s so annoying. So many board ads, so many jersey/helmet ads, betting ads are everywhere and it’s just.. urgh. I love the sport, but it’s such an horrible league. I’ve been going more to LHJMQ and it’s more fun (local Québec league).
