Devs are through. That should be a great series against the Flyers.

The lighting always looks off at MSG, to confirm what Danzig was saying.

I think the camera positions are further back and that is why the lighting seems dim. The new arenas are more TV friendly and have better(closer) camera positions.

Joe Louis is a contemporary of MSG, and they don't seem to have the same problems. Cameras do, however, always miss action along the boards when fans are standing.

Joe Louis was built for hockey and opened for in 1979. MSG opened in 1969 and was built for basketball and hockey amongst other things, big difference.

I'm going to go ahead and say arena construction changed a lot less betwixt 1969 and 1979 and 1979 and, say, the 2000's when most NHL arenas were constructed.

Dating myself here, but when I was a kid and we got cable for the first time, we got a lot of the Rangers games and I used to think it was the brightest arena I had seen on TV.

Looking back on it, the reason it seemed bright is because I was used to watching games from Olympia Stadium. That, was some dark TV watching.

yeah, but there's shadows on the ice-just looks gloomy in there. i've even heard an announcer make the comment that you can hide in some spots on the ice! lol i'm sure he's exaggerating...


and slot, there are times i want to go smack a cameraman...they don't seem to follow the puck at times, and it drives me loony. i'm yelling 'it's over there'. yeah, they can't hear me.
