I hate this. Words can’t describe how much I hate it.
That Stanley cup logo was such an iconic thing.

I’m watching Boston Florida on SN, and they have a digital version that says Stanley Cup Playoffs that keeps glitching. If only there was an easy solution…

The digital ads suck. The ones at the top of the offensive zone suck the most. They look horrifically fake.

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s an era. I think it’s forever changed

Seeing the flickering is just a terrible product. its infuriating every time it happens.
TuchMysak
between this and the multiple gambling ads shoved down your throat, it’s hard to justify paying for the playoffs anymore when i’m watching more commercials than sports

NHL’s TV product is easily the worst of the big 4.
The others love their money too but they don’t compromise the broadcast to make it.

Animated ads during play are just a cancer to the viewing experience

That doesn’t even take into account the 8 on ice adverts. I’m at PNC right now, and there are betway, chipotle, Adidas, and Invisalign logos on the ice.

This is a travesty for the league, they didn’t lose THAT MUCH MONEY from Covid fuck sakes. NHL acts like they’re about to fuel for Chapter 11 bankruptcy if they don’t slap an ad on literally everything

This is a bell which will never be unwrung.
Once you take advertising money in places like this, you don’t buy yourself out of it – it becomes normal money

Remember when people actually thought helmet ads would just be a temporary thing to make up for lost revenue during COVID and that the ads wouldn’t keep getting worse from there?

The playoffs logo is iconic. This makes me quite upset.
Stopped watching with the cgi boards. Haven’t watched a game all year… I was tired of bitching about it, decided I’m no longer giving them the view.
Nhl looks like a nascar jacket threw up all over the ice/jersey/helmet is on the way too…

Soon digital ads will be projected on the cup when awarded

Pumping ads into your product makes it feel less than premium. Endless ads sort of signals the end of days for wringing the cloth dry for revenue.
I was honestly fine with the digital board ads before they started animating/moving them. Between this and the gambling ads, the broadcast is no longer watchable for me.

The CAT logo in the Dallas / wild game is egregiously large. This league hates you.

All these ads yet the cap is stagnant and now viewership is down. Great job guys /s

Another problem is the ads on the glass behind the net, will cover the broadcasts score/time box when the camera pans far enough
KingMonaco
Same thing in the NBA. They used to have the city/team name under the basket- now it’s advertisements. They used to have the nice playoffs/finals logo on the court- now it’s ads. Just sad.
AssRubbies
I know it’s a little thing, but the paintings for the playoffs on the ice was so awesome to me. It made it seem MORE like the playoffs. Don’t know if that makes sense.
It really sucks they stopped for a few extra bucks.

Isn’t there a point where too many ads is just not efficient at all? Like throwing 1000 logos in our face every game won’t make me remember any of the logo’s that I’ve seen.

I’m glad someone is pissed about this too! This doesn’t give these games any titles, it’s just another game. Put the Stanley Cup Playoff logos back!!!

This looks terrible and is so distracting as a viewer.
Keep the ice hockey-related. The Stanley Cup is iconic. These ads should have no place on the ice.

There are too many ads. Govs will need to step in and ban animated ads and ban gambling ads. If we don’t get to have booze n cig ads, no gambling ads.

The only way this would be acceptable is if they used their [spokesperson’s face](https://images-cdn.ispot.tv/ad/27a6/default-large.jpg)
