I’ll save us the usual HF back and forth at this time of the year and have the conversation with myself:
“This stream looks like it was filmed on a potato!”
“Oh look, the Rangers are off to an early deficit”
“Outside of HF, nobody else cares about this game. Why would they stream it?”
“It probably only costs a couple hundred dollars to hire a camera guy and post him up at the top of the rink”
“What about announcers? It costs to hire them and it’s not worth the Rangers’ time.”
“Well fans should be at least allowed to go”
“Having fans requires food stands, additional staff and costs more money. Nobody outside of HF would go.”
“Maybe the rink isn’t equipped with the necessary infrastructure to film.”
“I’ve been to this rink before for my son’s games. They can definitely put a camera in”
“Good asset management by Gorton”
