I saw this video highlights feature over at Five Hole Fanatics this afternoon. I agree with Kent that it is a great little feature from NHL Network, and I like hearing the sounds of the game. I’d rather hear Wayne Primeau shouting “Yeah Prusty!!!” after feeding his linemate for his first NHL goal… than some commentator trying to fill some time.
I also like that you can make it full screen… though it loses quality a bit. But hey… look where game highlights have come in the last 2 years. Gone are the days of waiting for 2 days for the highlights to be posted on YouTube… and here are the days of live streaming games, and quickly hosted, easily embeddable highlights.
