Oh dear.<br /><br />A2B - I understand where you're coming from, but in a market where few people have realized how amazing the game of hockey is, you can't just assume people won't watch because the product is suspect. Marketing decisions should be made in the effort to make money, not because the team sucks for a couple of seasons. At some point you must spend $ to make $. They seem to be learning that in the wake of Hossa-gate.Mr. Speakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-54093489905140010372009-10-08T12:45:39.481-04:002009-10-08T12:45:39.481-04:00Road games in HD are more of an issue for SportSou...Road games in HD are more of an issue for SportSouth than for Atlanta Spirit simply because of the low ratings for the Thrashers.

I am much prettier than he is. Please remember this in the future.<br /><br />And I agree on the lack of HD games. As a STH, I don't watch home games on TV for obvious reasons. It would be nice for us to, get with the times, as the kids say (do they still say this, you never know with those Krazy Kids). I almost enjoy it when we don't televise road games so there is a better chance of getting to watch HD on the other teams channel on the center ice package.<br /><br />I can has cheezeburger?Big Shooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151606706839891986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-10022329327333328472009-10-08T11:46:55.784-04:002009-10-08T11:46:55.784-04:00Razor, but wouldn't Phillips also want to brag...Razor, but wouldn't Phillips also want to brag that they are broadcasting good teams rather than average teams in HD? I mean, if I'm the CEO of Phillips I put pressure on ASG to get a playoff team out there and then throw them money to maintain that level to get them more games on a national level. It sounds kinda backwards but think of it this way, more people in phillips= more people seeing the phillips experience section, more TV games= bigger marketing for lower cost than a regular commercial spot. Its a bonus for both sides and keeps money flowing.A2Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984343995009130077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-68452859770044921232009-10-08T10:49:27.787-04:002009-10-08T10:49:27.787-04:00A2B- we just have to do what the Canes do.

They know that Brind'amor would scare everyone away, so they give more screen time to their Storm Crew or whatever they call those girls.<br /><br />Really, I would think that Philips would put some pressure on to have all Thrashers and Hawks games in HD. I mean, isn't it kind of embarrassing that events taking place in an arena named for a company that makes HD televisions are broadcast in SD?Razor Catch Preyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295587180920939928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-39337654796687111742009-10-08T10:20:10.586-04:002009-10-08T10:20:10.586-04:00speaker, I would rather them invest in players now...speaker, I would rather them invest in players now, and then on HD later.

Too bad the che...I can haz glorious HD!!! Woo hoo!<br /><br />Too bad the cheap bastards at ASG can't at least piggy-back the HD feed of every road opponent instead of giving us 20 games, 13 of which are at home. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, Philips looks great on Comcast Ch. 48, but how cost prohibitive could it be to buy into the broadcast against our road opponents that are already in hi-def? If they want more fans to watch, make sure the damn feed is in HD and then advertise the hell out of it!!<br /><br />Let's go boys, let's deliver a strong message to resonate throughout the hockey world!!<br /><br />PS -- Big Shooter, good seeing you outside of the Bulb after the win Sat night!Speaker of Truthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-1234064975141585652009-10-08T09:24:19.768-04:002009-10-08T09:24:19.768-04:00I was reminded this morning that Chris Chelios has...I was reminded this morning that Chris Chelios has been on the ice with the Wolves.
