  • Great ESPN graphics

    Saw my first one, they showed the Minnesota/Yale score and at the bottom "Yale leads series 1-0"

    Isn't it a "best of 1" series?

      They should have gone with Old Hampshire just to round it out.

          I've said it before in years past, I think this is the event they let all the high school interns work on.

          Anyone else remember a few years back under the score box they had "delay penalty" rather than "delayed penalty"?

            Are the coyotes a hostile and abusive symbol of Native American oppression?

              Did NoDak move south to become the Sou?

                I'm a bit of a TV graphics nerd, so I pay more attention to these sort of things than I should.

                It's interesting that they're using the scoring bug at the top of the screen rather than the bottom (as is standard for most other ESPN broadcasts). I'm not a fan of the bright red used to mark powerplays. It's currently "stuck" stating "Even", highlighting Lowell, for some reason. During the final minute of each period in the Minnesota Yale game, they switched the clock in the scoreboard to picture-in-picture super-imposed clock from the physical scoreboard in the arena, which signifies that they either do not have a direct timing feed from the official scorer, or that it lacks the tenths-of-second resolution.

                EDIT: If they didn't have an official timing feed from the scorer's table, that would also explain why the clock didn't move immediately at the beginning of OT, then free-ran from 19:56 to 19:51 after the goal. Not ideal to be manually operating the scoreboard clock!

                  Why the need for the "live" graphic in the upper corner?

                      I loved the one they just showed with a Lax double header at 12 and 2. We all know how THIS one is going to end up tomorrow afternoon, don't we?

                          Don't forget when they talk about regional appearances, the regionals did not start until 1981 (or did they really start in 1992 when they went to one and done?)

                            The latter. When you say "regionals" it's basically referring to the early '90s for the current format. Prior to that, there were NCAA Quarters played at campus sites -- whole different deal and nobody referred to it as a "regional".

                              Pretty much standard for hockey broadcasts though. If the scoring bug is placed at the bottom of the screen in hockey, it's always going to be covering the field of play. At the top of the screen, most of the time it's just masking out the crowd, which is why most hockey broadcasts always place it on the top.
