In all, the eight computers and 1.2 million pixels spread over eight screens draw as much power as your average house – which isn’t too bad when consider it’s roughly equivalent to 80 big-screen televisions.
It’s the absolute largest clock they could get.
“We figured out our limitation was how high it could be,” says Harvey Jones, Vice President and General Manager of Arena Operations. “Then we calculated the largest possible screen we could fit in the building.”
The four large main displays are 2.5 times larger than the old screens, but that’s just the start. Four medium-sized screen (13 feet by 5.5 feet) hang at the corners, and a ring of ribbon displays wrap around the entire top of the clock.
It’ll rival English Bay fireworks for sheer eye candy once the switch is flipped Friday.

Simply put, it’s the best in North America.
“No other NHL rink will have the video screen size and clarity that we have,” says Jones. “Some will have the same 10-millimetre pixel-spacing, but their screens won’t be as big. The combination of size and clarity will be the best in the NHL.”
“We’re going to be able to motivate and excite the crowd like never before. We’re going to be able to make them feel like they’re part of the game.”
“It’ll help us to pump up the crowd at key moments in the game, and the team tells us that this really helps to motivate them.”
The smaller screens will provide real-time stats, like hit totals, face-off percentages, and blocked shots, while the larger screens will display the score, shots on net, penalty times, and play-by-play recaps — all in 4.4 trillion colours.
This must be the year for new scoreboards. We got a new one here in Philadelphia that I've already fallen in love with, and Boston and St. Louis are two other cities I know of that also unveiled new ones this season.

Calgary is also getting a new one. Think it's going in during early December.
Hey i didnt start the thread and say tuesday. i just repeated what he said, i don't know or care about when it;s revealed. When i go to watch hockey games i go to see the guys on the ice. I don't pay 100 bucks to sit at the rink and stare at the screen like some idiot.
Quick Holland, do them one up
