This is especially DANGEROUS if one is listening with earbuds.  If one cranks the volume up to hear the broadcast the commercials are so loud they can hurt you.
I think there is a setting on the earbud apps to protect against spikes -- an aural surge protector.  Now, have I ever bothered to actually figure it out and use it?

Mine on Android warns me.  To hear the game well if any noise is present I'm in the potential danger zone according to that.  I don't do IOS except as emergency tech support.
If it throws a warning you can add an event where it just temporarily turns the audio down.  As long as it is monitoring you can make it dance.

Why would I watch my TV with headphones? I mute the commercials and turn it down when it's over. Now I just have cc on

Wait.  How can the logo "come up"?  Isn't the logo a decal on the floor under the ice?

Have I really been watching for 45 years and not know how this works?

I watch and listen when sitting in Houston Field House in Troy.  The Ithaca game is always more compelling.

Yale now heading back back to their locker room. I wonder if we're gonna get a bonus resurfacing.

Each time the Zamboni cuts the ice it shaves some off

Casey mentioned he had recommendation to thin the ice compared to last year. I think it's too thin.

He mentioned the wet ice at the beginning of periods last year and something else that I can't recall.

My god this is sad.  I promised fewer Mets crossovers but it's that level of sad.

Why would you thin the ice?  To make it harder / faster?

Edit: aha, you added the second line.

Because the ice was so thick that it was wet after resurfacing at the beginning of many periods last year.   The thicker it is the longer it takes to harden.

I think that's why it looks crappy too.  I think they went too far.
