Cornell-Harvard at MSG

[Jim Hyla]

We start with the USCHO article.

And hopefully end with a win, before traveling to Allston next weekend.

CornellBigRed's pregame.

And GoCrimson's.

Can we beat them at least 3 times this season?

[Trotsky]

One at a time.  One at a time.

Anyone have the ESPN+ feed working? Mine changed to "Event About To Begin" around 8:00 PM, give or take, but it is now 8:06 PM, and still nothing.

Is this typical camerawork at MSG these days?

Is this typical camerawork at MSG these days?

I was wondering the same thing. I can't imagine it is.

They are using far too many low angles, and they keep zooming in, to a ridiculous level, from the high angles, preventing us from seeing enough of the ice and other players to be able to appreciate what is going on.

Or, as my wife put it ten minutes ago, "I'm getting nauseated."

I contacted ESPN+ to complain about the production of the game.  Who produces a game using mostly ice level cameras and up close shots.  One of the most frustrating games I have tried to follow.  Last year at MSG it started this way and got better shortly after the game started.  Not this year.  Very frustrating.  It is so bad.

ESPN+ has live chat in the support section.

I'll try the live chat as well.

A huge improvement would be made if the guys handling the high cameras just didn't use the zoom functionality. That wouldn't solve all the problems, but it would go a long way towards doing so.

Edit: I can't find the live chat option on ESPN+. Link, or directions please? Thanks!

As in previous years,  these are the cameras that feed the overhead " Jumbo - whatever" screen for the fans in the rink.  Their function for (probably)  every other game of the season is just that.  We are getting a "free" feed.

I was able to get a hold of someone through the link above.

He said he would contact someone and let them know, he lied.
