It's pretty much standard that these types of exhibitions will be aired by the stations that carry the regular season games, so it shouldn't have been too huge a surprise.<br /><br />- I don't get the opportunity to watch many broadcasts on Canadian networks, but in my opinion Mike Emrick is one of the better play-by-play guys there is. That said, last night's festivities were an exhibition, as will tonight's. The broadcast of any all-star event in pro sports will be filled with guys telling jokes, inane banter, with little attention to the action on the ice. Come June, the team of Emrick, Olczyk (sp?), and Clement will do a fine job in the Finals.<br /><br />- I agree with you on the rail cam. It's a nice idea, but it doesn't quite work with hockey. The sky cam in football games is one of the best things about watching primetime football, and if they can find something that does for hockey what that does for football, we'll be in good shape.<br /><br />- The one thing I was disappointed in with the shootout competition last night was that none of the shooters tried any super-crazy moves. I'm sure it boils down to not wanting to show up the goaltenders, but that would sure ramp up the entertainment value if we saw more goals like they showed from Robbie Schrempf in the clips.<br /><br />Glad to know that somebody else in Columbus was watching. I think that made three or four of us.<br /><br />I'm sure I'll be there again tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
