ENOUGH With the Ads on the Glass!

This needs to stop. I know NHL teams and their networks are searching for new ways to generate revenue, but this shouldn't be one of them.
Some other teams did this last season. It wasn't a good idea then and it's not a good idea now. The Wells Fargo Center is a phone book as it is, there is no need to superimpose ads on the glass for viewers at home. We already have to put up with "a box of Tastykakes" and "The Peco Powerplay," can we please keep some dignity?
I have an idea: Jeff Carter scores for a bottle of Valtrex. It pays and protects.
Speaking of ads, the McDonalds one sort of worked in the first period, because Claude Giroux is Dirty McNasty. Watch his sick goal after the jump.
I apologize for that terrible transition.
