I didn't like him, either. Thought it was out of place. But I prefer just the organ as entertainment...and the hockey, of course. Even against the Senators Sheary sucks.

Look at that. At the end of the line, old faces show up. Something something mortality...

Yeah, you never know, he may wind up being good.

Long time no see. I think.

I'm not talking audio, although I did reference it for the sake of educating the others reading this. Audio is easy, they've had digital delays with ramping for audio since the late 80's. Digital video delay is relatively new (that article I linked to was from 2015). It takes a lot of horse-power to delay HD signals. But, like I said, it's become too affordable not to implement. When was the last time you were inside a truck? Not at all doubting your experience, but it doesn't align with what I know, so I find it compelling (in a geeky/business sense). If it's been a "million years" things may have changed - we are, after all, still going through a "digital transformation". I would be curious to know if you asked around about video delays what responses you'd get.

If memory serves you are in the broadcasting business. I don't remember what part, but not everyone here knows what happens behind the curtains so it's in their best interest to be somewhat thorough. Also, you're saying one thing and I'm saying something else. I don't wish to step on toes, but I think you're wrong that there is no (intentional) video delay. There is "operational delay", which is satellite hops and also today with all of the digital equipment each unit or step adds its own processing latency. They most certainly add intentional delay to live events for various reasons. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2015/01/if-you-re-streaming-the-super-bowl-over-the-internet-stay-off-facebook-and-twitter/index.htm Radio these days use 20 second delays (I have direct knowledge of this). The business I'm in deals in digital broadcast technology. In fact I will be at NAB next week looking at some of this very stuff. Older analog technology would literally be on a tape loop that gave them 7 second max. I doubt hockey games were delayed by analog equipment but I'm willing to bet lots of money they have intentional delay in our digital era. The equipment is cheap and the utility of it far outweighs not having it there. These are only 20 second delays, but there are a variety of others: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?ci=5721&fct=fct_delay-range-max_2941|20-seconds&N=4028759659 You can thank internet streaming for another reason to add intentional delay to video - one of the solutions to matching internet stream latency to broadcast latency is to delay (further) the broadcast stream.

I turned it off at the final horn, did he really say that?

I'm not a big football guy, but when ever I ran acrost a game I'd watch a little. Didn't look too bad.

Yeah, at least they showed up.

$^&!@# Sheary and Reinhart just STANDING there. Who did Eichel have to play off of there?

They should have played him more.

I can't remember, was Nelson injured for a while?

Darth, we're coming to get you, put you in the present... Or Tondas.

That wasn't so bad looking at the time. Few live TV moments will beat Malarchuk's.

A twisted limb is quite different than someone bleeding out..

They're not concerned with incidental audio like that. That pre-dated the digital systems in place now. I think they would have cut to any other image but that.

Edge is horrible. Most video feeds are executed via HTML5, and Microsoft is notorious for non-compliance. FF is good, Chrome is really good, too, for media.

Few things are broadcast without some sort of delay. Usually in the neighborhood of 10-30 seconds.

And I don't normally say that about commercials. Yes.

I love that commercial.

That hit the stick.
