It already happened once in my life with the Winnipeg Jets, and granted I was 8 years old, but no I didn’t keep cheering for the Phoenix Coyotes, though I know people who did. It would definitely be a mix, and I think most people would pick a different team, but I’m not sure what the proportion would be. Even in hockey, a team moving is pretty rare.
Those brown pads and gloves definitely look straight out of the 1950’s.
Add another ref who sits just off the ice, and is a “video ref” looking at as many screens as he chooses, of the available cameras, and has the power to whistle his own penalties or overturn the penalties from the ref on the ice. There’s no reason to deliberately not use the technology available to us rather than the randomness of whether something happens to get challenged for video review.
This seems to bounce around the internet with no real legit source to back it up, and when it was posted to a certain website starting with R, there were comments from professionals indicating most of it was complete bullshit.
Why is no one choosing 7? Xray vision is absolutely going to be super useful. After that its a tossup between 2 and 3.
Not EXCLUSIVELY… but kinda, but even though I’m only 1 (or maybe 2) out of the 3, and a bunch of programming jokes and jargon go over my head, I really don’t mind. And… if you’re going to start with a particular demographic as a core userbase, man oh man could you do worse these days.
