So much for my guesses.

As for day 2: (all ET)
Coyotes/Preds at 2pm
Flyers/Bruins at 3pm
Blues/Avs at 6:30pm
Leafs/Jackets at 8pm
Wild/Canucks at 10:30pm

League will be "customizing" arena so it comes off better on TV with no crowd. They'll be using EA Sports crowd noises. I guess if it's in the game, it's in the game.

Speaking of EA Sports, the arena customization really does look like some sort of mini game arena.

Hopefully it does come off looking great on TV. Although if anything, wouldn't it have been better if they just dimmed the lights on the seats so the focus is just on the ice?

Less than a week before the playoffs begin! And we're getting exhibition games this week as well!

I like the audio setup for NHL more than the MLB setup.

MLB has an audio button for specific moments. NHL has background chatter (the rhubarb/walla effect. I just wanted to mention that since I learned about it in my school from a random teacher who used to be a director/producer).

Although maybe MLB varies? Nats audio tonight sounds like regular background noise, although you hear the piping more. During Rays series I heard nothing outside of the audio button.


The covering for the crowd is ok. I would've used a different colour. Though I guess you can't get one to satisfy all teams so they went generic. Surprised they didnt sell ad space on those tarps.


Hockey more than other sports I feel like the team designated the home team still actually has an advantage during a time like this. Baseball you have a small one since you're in your own ballpark and all, but for hockey, that last line change does make a difference, especially in the over coached era.

So i have not followed that closely and so i just found out they are going to start playing again like 8/1 or something. Can any one give me a fast run down on how things are going to work? They are going straight to playoffs right? Is it just in one location like nba or are they still traveling all over? Is the playoff bracket the same has normal etc? I have been following nba a lot more close. NHL i normal watch sharks and that is it but man i miss sports much more of a nba and nfl guy.

I hope they have a natural sound option like they have been doing with soccer.

Would love to hear the chirping.
