    I've only had two seizures so far, so I'm good with the ads. Plus, I believe they are also responsible for my recent large purchases of Nike and Canadian Tire products (the subliminal messaging works magnificently on me).

    I definitely find the moving ads annoying and distracting. I'd be fine with them superimposing non-moving ads that only got swapped every commercial break or stoppage in play.

    It's not something I really notice. I do find it interesting watching old game footage where there is nothing on the boards. It definitely looks strange.

    I watch a lot less hockey these days and I think a huge part of it is the advertising. We are so bombarded with it now in all aspects of our lives. I still love hockey and I stat watch like crazy for my fantasy purposes, but watching the games is far less enjoyable with all the ads.

    Side rant... even my f**king to do list and notepad apps on my phone are covered in ads. I can't tick a f**king item off my shopping list in the grocery store without a video ad popping up. Time to go back to pen and paper and maybe move to an off grid cabin in the middle of nowhere
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    I recently rewarched Idiocracy and one of the things that stuck out to me even more this time was the omnipresent advertising. In 2006, it looked like a funny satirical comment. In 2022, it actually looks pretty close to the standard today

    I can probably put up with the ones that change during the flow of the play that are not bold in color/text size .

    the other night there was Heineken ad wrapped around the entire board surface that was extremely invasive

    They're missing the mark by not having a "goal" ad go up when a team scores. I get the ad contract probably limits that, and it's prolly too much for some people, but I think it would be cool to see a "GOOAALLL" thing go up in the teams colour regardless of home or away.

    If anything it would be something they should explore during the "next gen" games.
