Anyone see the "progressive" first period of the DET/NSH Hockey game? at DVinfo.net

What the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks WAS that? Looked like 24p? pan stutter? Almost 3D. I was mezmerized - than they "fixed" it.

(granted I dropped into seizure and almost threw up but man it looked nifty)

I did see that and until I heard Gary Thorne comment about it being messed up, I couldn't figure out what was going on. ESPN is really ass backwards when it comes to how the program HD, so I just figured it was something related to that. They tend to broadcast, on their HD channel, non-uprezzed SD (when they're not airing HD stuff) and they don't account for the aspect ratio so it's usually messed up. It was interesting to watch. Reminded me a little of film while watching it because of the colors and stuttered motion.
