It happens a few times in almost every game, they try for a close-up and we see a player a second after the player no longer has the puck.

In football, they will try and zoom in on the player going through th eline, but the ball will come loose and the frame is too tight to see the ball as other players scramble for it.

Camera people (and presumably the directors who call for the shot) who try to get too close into the play and as a result miss the play drive me nuts.
