GDT: Kings Training Camp 2022/2023!

[DoktorJeep]

You don't need a production truck to stream the games. And it's not a Bally's game, so no, you don't need their equipment or personnel. They already had in arena cameras and operators for what is shown on the jumbotron. And they've done low budget streams before, in particular during the 2020 AHL season. If you recall, the Kings also streamed their scrimmage which I also believe was in Ontario during last year's training camp.

Other teams are streaming games when not on TV. The Ducks just did it.



Struggling to find what was so cost prohibitive, especially relative to how much money the Kings spend elsewhere.

Name another regional network that has paid for rights to broadcast a Kings game other than BSW.

If your rights holder passes on the event, what exactly can you do as a property owner? The only answer is to foot the entire bill with no distribution partner and no sold ads. The opportunity to do a low budget stream for hard core fans isn’t even considered given how easy it is to move on to the next game.

Bottom line, the Kings management gives less than zero shits about hard core fans. We’ll be here no matter what with a smile on our face rain or shine.

Yes, that is the bottom line. As I pointed out, other organizations (the Ducks, for example) take a more loyal fan friendly approach.

And again, I just showed you what you can do as the property owner. Stream the game on your website. Which the Ducks and other teams are doing. Again, the game is already being shot on multiple cameras, being directed by someone in arena with replays and graphics. All you have to do is take that literal feed and stream it on your NHL affiliated website, which is exactly what the Ducks did.

Where is the prohibitive additional cost?

As a reminder, the organization is owned by one of the richest billionaires in the world and spends over 80 million dollars on just paying the players (add probably 35% to that to account for payroll taxes/p&w).

The Ducks are also cheap as f*** when it comes to player acquisitions. The Kings just signed Fiala to 8-mil and are capped out as a result of trying to ice the best team as possible. I’ll take that over a meaningless pre-season game, behind the dirt curtain, that was a loss and resulted in a single goal with 60% of the starting roster not skating.

Jesus people, take a break from the keyboard.

Ah right, because it was either Fiala or streaming, can't have both.

So now the Kings are penny pinching because of the the completelty unrelated contracts they signed? Haha. Next you'll tell me we aren't getting a Dustin Brown bobblehead night because Nate Thompson's practice jerseys ate into that budget.

Let me tell you, the player signing expenses and the pre-season streaming expenses aren't even in the same spreadsheet.

Yes, some "people" should take a break from the keyboard. If only those "people" heeded their own advice.

 

[Trash Panda]

I’d avoid trying to argue with someone who is on the train of thought that says “this preseason coverage is not an issue”.

It’d be equivalent to screaming at clouds.

 

[FSL KINGS]

It took me 35 years to realize "Norco" is "North Corona"

Also don't sleep on Mira Loma

Didn't Mira Loma used to be Wineville?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Found some video of the game!

Blair Witch quality filming.

I appreciate the effort, but anyone who films vertically should be executed.

Lmaoooo can you imagine implying that Fiala maxed out their production budget LMAOOO

Wineville

"Mira Loma was known as Wineville prior to 1930. The name was changed that year to help disassociate the community from the Wineville Chicken Coop murders."

But Wineville is still the big cross street near one of my favorite golf courses, Goose Creek

[Raccoon Jesus]

Already hate this coach.

Was a lot less noisy when his team was running everyone. At least Doty went after Viel when the Sharks were busy high-hitting Clarke and other kids.

Apparently they don't teach proper field of view in Medical School

 

[tny760]

tony, on doty hit on viel: "he won't get suspended"

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

 

[Eagle Fang]

From what I can remember, Viel was a little bitch with the Cuda. Doty was itching for that one.

Saw that & was wondering how Todd saw the line up.
Fiala/Kopitar/Kempe
Moore/Danault/Ardvidsson
????

 

[Little Psycho]

Biggest entertainment capital in the world and we can't even get a stream. God forbid it's on TV!

 

[All The Kings Men]

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I don't care how it "works", it's inexcusable

 

[bland]

Wait…..LW2? Doesn’t TM mean RW2?

I think that was Hoven's mistake.

 

[Maynard]

I don't care how it "works", it's inexcusable

He’s a company man and he will always defend the company.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Looks like Doty is in fact going to be having a hearing for his hit.


Interesting to see how this plays out, given he's not on an NHL contract.

 

[tny760]

"interference"

he literally tipped the puck in and was blown up before a 1 count
