An unusual event unfolded at the latest hockey match between the Nashville Predators and the Calgary Flames.
A hockey stick appears to be moving by itself on the ice
It appears that a perplexing moment during a Nashville Predators vs. Calgary Flames hockey game has garnered significant attention online. This scene, initially puzzling, involves a stick seemingly moving on its own. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that there's a more rational explanation.
The phenomenon is attributed to the digital advertisements on the boards around the rink. These digital ads, a brainchild of Gary Bettman, have been a point of contention among fans for their impact on the television viewing experience. These virtual ads often cause visual glitches, which can affect the clarity of the game being broadcasted.

Ghosts in Nashville?
In this particular instance, the puck, momentarily obscured by a digital ad, strikes the stick, causing it to move. This creates an illusion of the stick moving independently. While the visual trickery was unintended, it was executed flawlessly, leading to confusion and curiosity among viewers.
