Amazon Prime Monday Night Hockey

[jackjohnson]

Any thought regarding the first day of Prime Monday Night Hockey?? I think production quality, sound quality blows Rogers Sportsnet out of the water. They have a much cleaner graphics, score bar and the panel seems pretty professional.

Sportsnet plus has been complete garbage in Canada for reliability due to glitches and constant errors.

Pretty impressed with the stream and I have audio off

Definitely a better overall product than Sportsnet.
I'd like them or some digital platform to have the balls to allow viewers the ability to turn off the commentary and allow just the real ambient/PA arena audio.

I have audio on my sonos system and when the goal horn goes off, its like being in the damn arena. So loud and immersive, which is pretty amazing. I think sportsnet used iphones to record arena sounds

I dont mind Prime commentary, they have been pretty good so far. Maybe they will have that feature down the road.

I just go on mute during sportsnet intermission

So far it's been great. Nothing to complain about, the overall product delivery is top notch
Not trying too much to know about hockey or funny.

I hate it during sportsnet intermission and their cringe funny chemistry

Seems the same? On mute tho so.

Apparently Amazon is using 30 HDR capable cameras for each broadcast.

I wish this was a thing in the US Market. I think the only innovation I appreciate ESPN doing is the Frozen Frenzy but Prime can do something like that every week. I despise ESPN and wish TNT and Prime were the primary media outlets.

So Prime Monday Night Hockey is only for Canada and not US? I thought all Amazon subscribers would be able to watch it but I guess they dont have broadcast rights from ESPN.

It was better than anything SN puts out

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

That was nice. Big fan.

Yep it’s only Canada but after tonite I’m impressed and hopefully Amazon gets the national rights not only in Canada but the USA as well, anything is better than ESPN and Sportsnet.

Yeah it's only a Canada thing as far as I know.

Prime uses higher bitrate quality for video and audio than TV broadcasters do. They also use more advanced codecs. This is why it looks so much better.

This is also true for “channels” purchased through Prime. They look better than the actual channel does on TV or even the streaming version on the company’s website.

I had a strong feeling that hockey on Prime would be very enjoyable to watch.

The only major flaw I’ve seen is how big of a role that Messier has in terms of analysis. If they can swap him for someone better, they’d be a 10/10 for me.
