Check out @NHLTVSupport on twitter, they're getting hammered.

Ridiculous. What exactly did they expect?
Oh man, are they ever. They might as well just send their support people home for the night.

I never thought I could ever be that pissed about a website on the internet, but oh boy, the new NHL.com is a real pain in the behind. Usually I just like to check the boxscore for most games, but they managed to make that as complicated and unstructured as possible. And man, all that white space ... it's actually amazing how many space you can use without giving any info. All you ever do is scroll on the new page.

I'd actually be interested in the decision making process. At some point, one of the responsible people must have said something like "You know what? We have a pretty good product here, so why don't we just go and #### it up in the worst possible way?"

Yup the huge text, tons of white space, excessive scrolling is pure crapola.

New one is complicated abs scizofrenic. Miss titles on the right. Game stars. One has to use more time on the site. Chaos instead of good writing. Way of the world.

How the HELL do I watch the full game highlights now? I can only find individual goal highlights. I don't want to load a different video for every single thing that happened in a game. This new format is absurd.

After using it for a couple of days, it's a bloody mess. Way too much room taken up by everything.

When you go to look at a team's upcoming schedule, it only shows the next 7 games (and requires major scrolling just to see them all). As far as I can see, there's no way to look at a team's full upcoming schedule. The information for one game (which isn't even much information, just team names and start time) used to fit all on one line, now it takes up a quarter of my screen.

Press box consensus was that it's stupid and we hate it.

I had to go to the flames website video section and look through their recently added video.

Why it is not linked with the scores, I will never now.

Took me forever to find it also, but from the nhl.com main page, when you hover over "Video", there's a "Game Recap" space

The NHL game highlights have that dodgy music they have on the NBA video recaps. Just annoying, adds nothing but a distracting background noise.

Don't know if it was just added, but the full highlights are availabe from NHL.com by clicking Gamecenter from the game's score. It's under the Recap tab (which opens up by default).

Works not too bad on my phone, sucks on a desktop or tablet.

Way to much blank space, and checking box scores is now a royal pain in the ass.

I have a 27 inch monitor and the "scores" page shows a maximum of 4.5 games at once.

Inexcusable. I'm using TSN now (which still sucks, but is infinitely better than the new NHL page).
