BRH Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I don't care what color the ice is as long as the sweaters are blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping so... 386028[/snapback] There's no way the blue ice is going to happen. High-Def TV experts told the NHL that the white ice is the best thing they could have for HD. If you've ever watched a hockey game on HD, you'll know what exactly what they mean. The white ice is so clear and the puck stands out beautifully. Bettman is actively trying to make all broadcast HD within a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see a game in HD, maybe Empire will carry them in the fall... But seriously, where will the Sabres games be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv Levy Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Sorry. Blue Ice is out! I didn't like it anyway. Good try, but fell short especially with TV coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted the fans to think "hey, this team is really trying to improve the game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
