Average Time Per Game
I’m not looking to rain on the “this game has so much flow” parade, but these games all seem like they’re taking longer to play due to stoppages. I’m having trouble finding any sort of average time per game statistic to back this up. I’ll point out this doesn’t mean the action in between stoppages isn’t better or more “flowing”, but these games do seem longer - can anyone point me to some numbers to prove me right or wrong?
Mini-complaint department: OLN needs to check their sound levels. The entire network is low compared to other channels on my cable system, but perhaps that’s just my cable system. Here’s where it’s not: there’s a nice difference between the game and the commercials. The worst is having to turn up the volume to hear the game, and then have a commercial suddenly knock you over. And then you still have to remember to lower the volume before you change channels (if you would dare turn hockey off).
Comments:
I haven’t really noticed if any Flyers games have been extending past the usual 9:00-9:15 ending period, but I’ll be sure to observe over the next couple of games. (It might be hard since the Flyers play once a week… damn NHL scheduling)
OLN’s entire presentation of the games is just plain bad. The sound is horrible, their cameras are blurry, and their analysis of the games just doesn’t capture the viewer.
