But yes, there are limits to how much hockey a person can watch. So where does that leave us when it comes to hockey commentary?

A) If you want to have any credibility as a league-wide hockey analyst, you need to spend 15 hours a day watching recorded hockey games.

B) There should be not be any such thing as league-wide analysts, since A is impractical. We should only have individual team reporters reporting on hockey. Or better yet - enthusiastic and highly partisan fans!
Yeah. There's ~135 hours of hockey to watch per week. They can't watch it all.

Stats have their flaws for sure, but they eye test is heavily flawed due to preformed opinion bias, outside noise, inability to watch all players all the time and last-event bias.
