A big difference between watching a hockey game at home and live is the experience.

Obviously at home, you're comfortable, you can get up to get food or drinks and go to the bathroom anytime and you don't have to worry about parking.

While it sounds glamorous, nothing beats the experience of watching a hockey game live.

Between watching the game with passionate fans, the music, the lights, street meat, and all the other bells and whistles, taking in a game live is usually an unforgettable experience.

If you were to ask Scottie Upshall, though, he'd probably much rather the in-arena experience feature less strobe lights.

In St. Louis' game late last week against Colorado, Upshall was in the penalty box when he was forced to avoid some strobe lights from hitting his face.

That's something nobody wants to deal with, let alone a hockey player who just took a penalty.

We imagine dealing with the 'Green Men' is better than the strobe lights.

 

To add insult to annoyance, Upshall and the Blues lost 2-1 in a shootout, but they'll have the last laugh as they are going to the playoffs for the sixth straight season.
