Fezmid Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I'm watching my first NHL game on OLN today, and I've noticed that the camera work is terrible. In fact, they practically pissed Minnesota's 3rd goal. They showed a closeup of the player shooting from the blue line, then by the time they flipped cameras, the puck was already in the net. I won't even talk about the terrible announcing, since it's generally bad everywhere. So, are games on OLN always as bad as the commercials they air? CW

CW 551570[/snapback] I have found that the Western Conference games broadcast from the US generally have bad camera work. It is like trying to watch the game through a McDonald's straw. The Games that FSN, MSG broadcasts Islanders, Devils, Sabres, Rangers are generally not too bad.

Corp000085 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 fezmid, if you're basing the coverage on the commercials, then the sabres have the worst in the league. Hurt in a car?

It was pretty atrocious. CW
