Adams Hockey
Like many hockey fans, I was happy that hockey was back this year. I did not care that ESPN did not renew its television contract with the NHL – I thought OLN which could have a few hiccups, but overall they were going to do well. I was wrong. OLN has been a disaster for the entire season and not getting better.
I understand they've never done before in the NHL, and had only a few months to hire announcers, cameramen, build a set, etc., but worst of all is that no have been improving and learning from their mistakes. Emissions are still as mediocre as they were on opening night.
After watching the opening weekend of the 2006 NHL Playoffs, here are my thoughts:
– The camera angles are mediocre at best. The camera for the first 10 minutes of Oilers vs Red Wings Game 1 was enlarged to the point where I could see the entire ice. This would be great except for the fact that it is impossible to see the disc or read a number T-shirt (and no, I'm not seeing on TV of 13 "). which is fixed within minutes, but are these things we should address in the postseason? should t they have discovered how a movie playing in the Joe Louis Arena during the regular season?
– Jack Edwards should not do play by play for the playoffs nationally televised. I miss the days of Gary Thorne / Bill Clement and Steve Levy / Darren Pang on ESPN and ESPN2.
– Speaking of Bill Clement, who is not a type study, which is a color commentator. Next season please find a type of study so you can move back to the cabin Clemente where it belongs.
– No OLN's fault, but no other network (ie, ESPN 2) is detrimental to the fans. We used to get to see two playoff games at once, now have one.
– The score takes up too much of the screen at the top. Must we see the giant logos of each team at all times? All it does is take up space and force to OLN put a black bar at the top of the screen so that the logos can fit, losing more space. Good luck trying to find the disk when scoreboard updates and pop-up ads (which is quite often) eat even more space.
– With two minutes in the Oilers vs Red Wings Game 1, with the score tied at 2, the camera cut to the … less than thirty seconds. This is unacceptable. Period.
– The second game of the double header on Friday, Anaheim vs. Calgary, was "the coverage premiums, "ie CBC feed OLN broadcasts only. Boys weak, weak. What, you can not afford to send more than a film crew one night? Maybe the NHL should have given coverage to a network that could handle it (of course, if the NHL does not demand as much money from ESPN, would not have this problem first).
And that was just the first weekend of coverage. It will be a long playoff season …

Gabby: Confessions of a Hockey Lifer $11.48 Bruce Boudreau is living a hockey Cinderella story. After more than three decades in the minor leagues as a player and coach, he was promoted to head coach of the Washington Capitals in 2007. Boudreau revived the Caps, written off as dead, to a division championship and received the Jack Adams award as the National Hockey League’s Coach of the Year in June 2008.His story is an entertaining odyssey of triumph, disappointment, and perseverance, stretching from Toronto to Washington. As a pro rookie, Boudreau had a cameo appearance in "Slap Shot" with star Paul Newman. Today Boudreau coaches superstar Alexander Ovechkin and a young Washington club poised to become an elite NHL team vying for the Stanley Cup.Boudreau stole the limelight at the 2008 NHL Awards Show with his self-deprecating and folksy manner, which has made him a popular personality at every stop he’s made. Hockey fans know there’s only one Boudreau. |

Don Cherry’s Hard Hitting Hockey $21.95 Outspoken, outrageous and at times outlandish, Don Cherry has been called many things during his nearly 30 years with CBCs Hockey Night in Canada. But, hes never been accused of being at a loss for words. A former player, Cherry retired in 1970 and soon created a career for himself in both minor and major league coaching. His greatest fame as a coach was achieved in fabled playoff battles with the Montreal Canadiens, against which Cherry coached in two consecutive Stanley Cup finals with the Boston Bruins along the way to winning the Jack Adams award for Coach of the Year. Cherry is known as a teacher and a mentor, yet his teams played with determination, skill and grit, filling arenas wherever they played. Cherry brings this same brand of insight, wit, passion and straight-shooting hockey commentary to his latest release of Rock em Sock em Hockeyâ„¢ featuring all the action, hits and bloopers from the past NHL season — plus a tussle or two. |
