A place to vent about the NHL’s DED (Digitally Enhanced Dasher) Ads without being distracted or straining your eyes

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

‘Wachtel said the NHL would not replace the arena dasherboards with digital signage because it would be too much of a distraction to the players’ If digital ads are too much of a distraction to players, aren’t they also for fans? 🤔 PS digital ads are common in European soccer

[Mark Fischer @MarkFischerNY]

Despite some criticism from fans, the NHL believes its digital ad boards are the future of in-game marketing. Here, a behind-the-scenes look at how it all works, and what the league thinks of the complaints, for @AdAge. https://t.co/hJ02IfE3A5

@FitzGSN_ Fans that want to keep him think it’s the 1980s with unlimited resources.

It’s not the player, it’s the cap hit and the opportunity cost.

Can’t have almost 30% of cap on a goalie and defenseman and expect to be successful.

@jonorcutt @betsyplum @MaraGay How is the MTA so poorly managed that a $15 billion windfall is needed?

Where are the calls to make the agency more efficient before resorting to this money grab? See LIRR work rules

No shot air quality will improve when roads like the Cross Bronx are already congested.

@art_stapleton They have to clean house b/c if you let Schoen and Daboll pick a qb and this continues, the next regime would be in the same spot as these guys with DJ.

Most of Schoen’s 1st-3rd rders have been a bust. Their best players (Thomas & Lawrence) are Gettleman guys 3 years in.

@GioWFAN @7BOOMERESIASON the amount of incorrect facts you just said regarding interest rate, fiscal policy, and monetary policy is astounding. How conveniently you forgot who changed the SALT deductions to punish blue states.
You forgot to mention Putin will be happy too.

Winter break for schools started in the 70s during the oil shortage as a way to save money. At some point, the teachers unions negotiated the break become permanent.

Hey @MarkFischerNY, how about a follow article to the digital ads from the start of the season with questions to Keith Wachtel about seizures?

@NYP_Brooksie @7BOOMERESIASON @MollieeWalkerr please use your platforms in the NY area to help rein in the @NHL’s awful venture with @Supponor

@NHL @NHL_On_TNT @Sportsnet Nothing says outdoor hockey like digital ads. A classy touch. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

This chart proves the league is over marketed and ruined by the likes of Keith Wachtel. Maybe digital ads will $ave @nhl’s outdoor game. Maybe @Supponor should drop the #nhl

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

More folks are watching #pickleball than #nhl games. #ESPN’s investment in the @NHL must really be paying dividends https://t.co/OdLLizGNlQ

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

The @NHL is dark while other leagues continue to play.

Does anyone really notice or care?

Judging by viewership, the answer is no.

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

By a large margin, more people watch @espn’s @30for30 documentaries and NCAA women’s volleyball than the @NHL and Ovechkin’s pursuit of history. Why would anyone buy digital ad space with this sinking ship? 🧐🧐🧐https://t.co/G7khVU6kFP

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

@SportsCenter Tarnished by a distracting digital ad. Way to go @Supponor

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

3 months in and the #nhl is too stubborn to admit the mid-play digital ad changes aren’t too distracting for fans. God forbid the changes occur only on camera pans. I love that my kid now has no interest in the @NHL

[NHL @NHL]

Travis Sanheim (@sanheim17) splits the defense and goes top shelf. 🔝

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

@NHL @sanheim17 What happened? I was distracted by the digital ad change m?

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

@AGrossNewsday From the creators of distracting digital ads, gimmicky reverse retro jerseys, 17 outdoor games a year, the metropolitan division, games worth different amounts in the standings, and dark jerseys at home, are you really surprised???

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

TOR@NYR: Vesey blasts a shot to the crossbar and in https://t.co/C4icHvvMBU via @NHL more distracting ad changes. Way to go @RangersMSGN @MSGNetworks #firekeithwachtel

@nonhlboardads @NHL Could spark a bidding war between Bic and Pilot resulting with the Bic logo scribbling all over boards during games.

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

I wonder how much digital ad space would have to be sold for the @NHL to give one of its players $360mm like Aaron Judge’s new contract.

[No to NHL DEDs @DownWithNHLDED]

@NHLFlyers @NHL @KevinPHayes12 This would look amazing on some digital boards. I hope that’s apart of tonight’s broadcast.
