Shmee Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 The Germany/Sweden game is on ESPN right now, and as I'm watching I keep thinking "The glass is missing on this side of the ice." Then I realized, the camera is on the same side of the ice as the player benches are. I can't remember last time I saw this. Anybody else?

CJR Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 There was at least one Wings game like that last year. It was a road game. Edmonton maybe, I don't remember.

wheateater Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Rexall Place in Edmonton is the only rink in the NHL where the camera locations are behind the players' benches. Then again, this Germany/Sweden game is somewhere in Europe, so it's not NHL. But Rexall Place was likely the last place you got this point-of-view for a hockey game.

Breakwood Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Alot of European rinks are different formats then here in north america. It isnt uncommon to have the benches and boxes all on one side for a pro rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 There are 2 camera angles ESPN uses that I can't stand.The behind the net on top of the glass, and the one that moves up and down the ice about the same height...plyaer skate by and you feel like you have to twist your neck 160 degrees.Good thing FOX is out of hockeym, they would have probably put one IN the puck @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Maybe they are afraid if they get to close to the ice those yellow Canadian jersey will break it with its ugliness. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
