THE! ZAPPER

Do we have a FoxTrax sighting? This year's NHL broadcasts on Fox so far have been devoid of the network's two ballyhooed innovations, one that highlights the puck in a blue halo and another that traces the paths of harder shots using a red comet tail (i.e., I went to a Hale-Bopp viewing and a hockey game broke out). But vision-challenged fans might soon have reason to cheer: A Fox spokesman, describing FoxTrax as a "work in progress," says that it is being re-tooled and should resurface after the Nagano Games.
