What Do You Think Of The Yellow Boards?

10/03/2014 at 8:37am EDT

from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,

If you were at Prudential Center tonight, you probably noticed the boards had a yellow tint to them. That was for a test the NHL was doing with a green screen-type system that shows different CGI ads on the boards during television broadcasts.

There was no telecast of tonight’s game, but a couple of times the ads showed up on the replays shown on the scoreboard’s video screen. (I saw one with a red McDonald’s ad that wrapped completely around the end boards). Otherwise, the CGI ads are not visible to those in the arena. (There are the regular ads on the board that you normally see, though.)

The CGI ad itself looked odd on the replay on the video screen, but not as odd as the yellowish boards themselves. Those appeared as if someone ran a yellow highlighter marker over them....

“I don’t like that,” Zajac said. “Is it going to stay like that? I didn’t like it, hated it actually. I thought it was stupid. It doesn’t look right. You get used to it, but I still don’t like looking at it. That’s my opinion.”

a bit more and a review of the Devils game last night...
