What you describe as PBP is not what I hear Kerr or other hockey PBP folks tell me. They tend to describe what's happening on the ice in real time. Funny you mention field, because if you listen to an NFL or MLB broadcast - i think you'll realize those PBP folks do not describe the play as it unfolds in real time - they analyze it at the end of the play.
