get rid of that pressure meter in the middle of the ice..

I second this request to remove the pressure meter from the middle of the ice.  It makes the game feel more arcade-y than probably intended.  I would much prefer if it was added with a bit more subtlety.  As the home team is filling their pressure meter, naturally increase the crowd volume until they go into a cheering excited state when Full Pressure is reached.  Flip that if the away team is filling their pressure meter.  Increase crowd grumblings until the crowd has a steady uncomfortable/booing noise when the Full Pressure state is reached.  I understand a visual indicator is still required, move that to the boards...have em do a quick flash and read "Full Pressure" when the state is reached.  Its not a bad mechanic, but it does need tuning and that cartoony indicator on the ice needs to go.
