Never seen hockey before and had a look on youtube.

The blue glowy bit is ok I think but that red tail comet is atrocious, it is completely distracting, covers up waaay to much of the screen.

Would you have been happy with just the blue glowy affect?

Before HD tvs it might have helped a lot, seeing a puck on an old screen is very difficult. But on the newer HD tvs, you can see the puck clearly enough I wouldn't want it, it probably isn't necessary.

nope, agree with the other follow up - HD is good enough that any "enhancements" are now a distraction.
