Red Hot Hockey (Screw BU!)

[Al DeFlorio]

Will there be any broadcast of the event? Audio? Video? TV?

::wtf::

Only on WHCU, I think.

Rats! I was hoping the MSG channel might cover it.

::blush::

In past years in which the game at MSG was not televised, the schools were given the scoreboard "feed" to broadcast on their webcasting platforms.

Usually, we'd get an announcement about that a week or so before the game. But we haven't gotten one yet.

ILDN shows webcast starting at 8pm est on Saturday.

Dumb question: when there is video is there always "production"?  It's not like the cameras are automated -- somebody has to be operating  them and if there is more than one angle somebody somewhere is deciding when to cut to camera 2.  Does the building management actually provide that as a service?  Do the schools get an IC to do it?  Does a techie from the audio crew do it?

That is brand new from this AM. When I got to work this AM, I checked and nothing was listed. Since I have to work this holiday, I'm happy.::banana::

Edit: It's also now listed as video on CU's schedule, which it wasn't this AM. So ::banana::::banana::

Edit 2: and here's CU's game notes.

..and a related question:
Why does it take a few days for archived games to appear on ILDN? Very annoying. I would love to be able to watch the game later that night or early the next day (i.e. before the next game).

The games are often available for same-night viewing. You need to find the games under the schedule. It's not very user friendly, because the schedule page is geared for live events. A link for each game is always available there. I think it's the same link that was used to access the live video.  But sometimes you have to wait 12 to 36 hours before that link puts up actual video.

I'm sure it's hard-wired into his Canadian brain, like "colour" or "aboot."  Americans probably say "Maple Leaf Garden."

Bostonians have a form of this as well: for some reason, they pronounce "FleetCenter" as "The Garden".

And well they should, catering to us old fogies. ::demented::

I think you're looking at this the wrong way. I never had the benefit of attending a game live at the old Boston Garden, but I've seen enough video to know that the current arena is nothing like the Garden was. The Garden was legendary.

It hasn't been named "FleetCenter" in over a decade. It's been "TD Garden" since 2009 and I'm OK with people dropping the bank's name in conversation.

My friend Seth lived in upper Manhattan right across the river from the Yankee stadia when they were building the new one, and he insisted on calling it "Steinbrenner Field" because Yankee Stadium was the original one.

I usually refer to it as "New Yankee Stadium"... but eventually everyone will give up because in every respect it's a far superior place to actually watch a baseball game than the 70's "renovation" Stadium was. I'm not sure the same is true of the Fleetcenter/TD Garden, which is less intense and where you're farther from the action, though I'm sure a ton more spacious/comfortable.

I only remember two trips to Boston Garden but have a vague recollection of an odor that made the history of the building come alive in my imagination.  But I have hesitated to post this because I think it might be a product of that imagination overlaid with 40+ years of mental dust.

I don't remember an odor, not to say it wasn't there, but after going to every ECAC finals there, my coming alive experience was walking up the somewhat circular walkway to get above the train station. At the top, when you hit the aisles around the arena, was the guy standing and selling programs. At that point, I knew I made it and my heart was pounding, either in anticipation, or because of walking fast uphill, or both.

Entering the old Garden from North Station was moving.  It was rundown, gritty, had barely changed from the 30s.  It was bare and bracing, and it felt like reaching a summit after a lot of hard work.

I never made it to the old Garden, but Walter Brown Arena did have an odor (to bring the conversation back to BU).
