I completely agree. I find that screen and the tactics screen far too cluttered.

I would suggest something like a large 2d ice rink with dots which appear to represent shots, etc (rather than the old flags we had). Something kind of like this:



Perhaps with some filters which can toggle on/off the different types of dots (shots, penalties, hits, etc). I think that's fairly similar to what Alessandro is suggesting(?).

Maybe the players' names (and, if there's room, their pictures) could be shown either on the 2d ice surface. Or alternative just above or below the ice they could be listed as text like this (as you see them listed on some websites and game programmes):

Code:
LW Hammond - C Knell - RW Klima
        LD Wild - RD Giles
            G Douglas
Then the text commentary box could be displayed above or below this.
