Corp000085 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 8pm Versus, CBC It's East vs. West with 5 Buffalo Sabres involved. Daniel Briere, Starting Forward Brian Campbell, Starting Defense Ryan Miller, Starting Goalie Lindy Ruff, Head Coach for Eastern All Stars Rip Simonek, Equipment Manager for Eastern All Stars What do i hope for? Obviously ZERO INJURIES!!! I also hope for our guys to score some major goals, make some great saves, win, get the MVP, and leave ovechkin's skates with some broken blades and his sticks warped (Git'R Done Ripper!!!) Should be a good time had by all! The only stress free hockey game till next September! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Just noticed that DirecTV will be showing the game in HD on channel 95. That's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_otto Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 That's just great. I'm glad that the Dallas fans still think it's cute to yell out "Stars" when singing the national anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 OK, is it just me, or did the pregame suck? A crappy pre-game song from someone I have never heard of, a garden-variety highlight film and the idiot being lowered from the rafters onto the ice... Just seemed like too much sound & fury, signifying nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from the highlights, you wouldn't think there were any Sabres playing in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The only Sabre I saw in the highlights was one who isn't even here - Max was highlighted early on. And to be honest, I thought the pre-game show fell short of the crappy Super Bowl halftime shows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 End of one. Miller let in 3 goals, but also made some good saves. Briere scored a goal. And we had CHUCK NORRIS!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way too "video game" for me... plus, i should not be required to take dramamine before i sit down to watch the game. This could be trouble if Versus gets the NHL to install that thing at the rinks for the playoffs. bad news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 This whole game production is way too "video game" for me...for me, it's like when you stumble across a website where someone decided to put every possible HTML, flash, audio and visual effect they can on the site, and it looks like an overwhelming mess...

Bmwolf21 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The Versus production seems to be getting worse, IMO. Instead of focusing on the camera work, play-by-play/in-game announcing, and cutting down on the ridiculous pop-up animations, they've opted to not fix those poor aspects of their production and instead focused on adding more useless crap to their coverage. For the All-Star game, I don't want to throw Versus under the bus completely - the NHL's and the Dallas Stars' hands are just as dirty with this crappy pre-game, crappy PA announcer, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You knew it was coming. earlier they mentioned the french connection, then how bill clement's flyers beat the sabres in 75. now brodeur's mic was broken on a shot.

But here's an idea, let's not give a player a bag of potato chips during an in-game interview. And how about announcing who assisted on a goal. (Nice assist Danny.)
