Nope.  Knew what it was before I clicked, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. ::nut::

Since we're on the topic of video...why in the world did the redcast keep breaking away from covering what was going on on the ice to show the stupid red hot hockey logo? They had plenty of cameras available to them, thanks to the in-house MSG setup, or whatever it was. But during many stoppages, including ones where there was stuff going on, they'd cut to the stupid logo. At times they'd be showing the logo while play was taking place. Anyone have any guess as to what the heck they were doing?

I got the sense they were showing whatever was up on the jumbotron and had no control over the video whatsoever. Hence things like the kiss cam and the focus on the penalty box at the end of every PP.

I am pretty sure they were simply streaming the MSG in house feed.  So you're stuck with whatever is on the big screen.

OK, fine. Then my beef is with MSG, and not the redcast. In a way it almost makes it worse. I mean why would those of you with your butts already in the seats need to see the logo, instead of what was happening on the ice? It just doesn't make sense to me. And trust me--it was frustrating as hell at times.

Because they can look at the ice to see when it happening on the ice? who goes to a hockey game to watch it on the jumbo tron?

Depending on how high up you are in an arena that isn't tiered, you can only see what's happening on the jumbotron.

You're making an argument against showing anything on the jumbotron. Assuming there is going to be something shown, it shouldn't be a damn logo.

And......when sitting in corner seats, down low, the action at the other end of the ice was definitely clearer on the jumbotron.

I thought maybe it would be this.

Strange but I actually like it. Not that I'd ever want us to do it, but watching it here is a good laugh.

OK, so I see why the bear blows up the other CCHA schools, but why the icebreaker?  I mean, I guess the icebreaker would've bit it with the rest of us when it blew up the rest of the planet, but still...

I kinda understand the ice-breaker. The ice-breaker was "bothering" the bear, so it had to go. I, on the other hand, don't understand the need to destroy the earth. And the last third or so of the video is real repetitive and boring and repetitive and kind of boring. And repetitive.

I totally agree.  Who needs coffee and an alarm clock--the best part of waking up is polar bears in F-14s.

F-16s actually. :-D

Considering I pulled a number out of the air, I'm astonished I was that close.
