VegasCanuck Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) So, not sure if anyone cares or not, but the system that they are implementing, with the RF tags in uniforms etc, is usually done with Blockchain, the same concept that powers Bitcoin. The information stream that this should provide to the benches in real time will be staggering. Through this, they should be able to measure compete level and speed of players in real time and measure it against historical data as the system builds its database. So, 2 years from now, a coach should be able to look at a player and know that he's moving 8.3% slower than he has the rest of the season, allowing them to make lineup adjustments to make sure that player isn't matched up too much that night with guys who are the real speed guys on the other team. GM's will be able to look at data when negotiating contracts and know exact rate of incline or decline in performance of the guy they are negotiating contract with. Will be awesome once its fully implemented. Edited March 5, 2020 by VegasCanuck Additional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babalu Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Stop messing with our game. Is the NFL or MLB putting tracking in their footballs and baseballs? This is a terrible idea. Bettman putting in his remote control puck just in time for the playoffs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 What’s this got to do with the puck? How about get competent officials who aren’t in bed with Boston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious if they'll expect you to throw the puck back on the ice (or hand to an usher) during game play like how you have to throw the ball back in soccer. If you take it home, they can track you! I read, no plans to ask fans to return pucks edit: they cost ~$100 apparently to produce Edited March 5, 2020 by 'NucK™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably lose like 5 pucks a game. 8 game night will cost them $4000 bucks. I guess they could always bump up ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 IF things keep going for us as they have the last month, we won't have to worry about this until next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea if they bump up ticket prices by 1$ they could afford 180 pucks after 1 sellout.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck73_3 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Mind blowing they can implement this puck for the playoffs but not the offside changes. NHL at it's finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used it briefly at this years all star game. It was annoying. Even in a mean nothing game. Its distracting from the play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be too busy watching were the puck is and not learning the game. I just really hope it's not like the glow puck and they use it during game play. It could be useful for intermission shows when they are breaking down plays. Or when they need to find out if they puck hit the net over the end glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just a implant to show the goal line or blue line, a signal . Like someone said a small chip drilled and filled. Leave the structure of the puck intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
