It’s interesting cos this is true for almost any team sport with multiple dudes going after a ball

Bettman’s version of the book says to look at all the pretty ads on the boards and helmets

I just got this book! It’s been VERY informative. The game is more enjoyable when you can pick up on the little things

Wysh and JR 🤔🤣🤣🤣

I coach my kids this strategy. It works wonders.

Gorg wushoeski!! He’s good! I would like to get a copy of this

Well if Mathew Barnaby likes it so much

My go-to is that if I ever lose the puck, I just follow where the players helmets are pointing.

How to watch hockey by navigating the idiotic array of streaming services and blackouts so you can see gambling ads superimposed over the boards.

Lose the puck? Watch the goalie.

It’s called go back to analog so the puck isn’t corrected out.

Watch their heads. Players are always looking at the puck.
There, saved you the read 😂

That’s some vintage Kongs v Hawks rivalry right there on that cover.

Where does it say to look?

The national broadcast started doing the player tracker where they put the name of the puck possessor over the head. I told my wife this seems great for new fans but really isn’t because it trains you to watch where the puck is.

I thought Wyshynski and Roenick didn’t like each other.

Neat share. As a Canadian who watched and played hockey from before I can remember I really take for granted just how difficult it is for new fans to figure out what is going on.

It’s a good book and helpful for people. Also, listen to Puck Soup because it’s funny and Greg argues with people (or did before ESPN made him quit the podcast mostly).

I kind of use the ball/puck for a quick reference point then automatically switch to looking at the players who either have possession and are open for passes or look like they’re going for the ball.

It’s so funny that they got Roenick to write the foreword given how mad he was at Wysh like a year later

Solid book, read it years ago.
Man I miss the old school Marek vs Wish podcast. Glad they are doing the segment on the Marek show.

LOL you have got to be kidding!

Ive never read this book but after a few years watching have started to naturally do this. You see the chances develop.
I actually do the same when I watch American Football (yes I know in America it is just football). I basically just watch the line and see who is getting pressure.

Greg Isn’t the co-host of puck soup anymore,
These are lies!!!!!, please come back Greg :(.

This would have been particularly useful before HD. I used to watch games on a tiny little 14” CRT TV, so there was no way you could properly track the puck. I learned to look for the guy with two hands on his stick and his stick on the ice; he usually has the puck.
