"The MSG Hockey Show"

[Larrybiv]

1. Will YOU watch? How often do you think you will?

2. What are your expectations?

3. How long will it last? Or, maybe better said.....how long before it gets canned?

4. Will this thread last? Or.......find a page 3?

Anyway, I think this might be a fun kind of a thread orcomments on the show, likes and dislikes.

My answers are......

#1. I'll give it a fair shake
#2. Not too much, but might be enjoyable as long as it's about the Rangers with NO mentioning of the Knicks!
#3 Maybe a year or 2.

Answer to question #4..........I'm hoping it becomes a really fun thread. Let's give it a shot!

What is the MSG Hockey Show?

Anson* + buddies talk about hockey

 

[Jabroni]

Weekes + buddies talk about hockey

That's Anson Carter.

 

[Irishguy42]

That's Anson Carter.

Shows how much I've paid attention to the commercials

I should have known b/c Anson works for MSG, and Weekes doesn't. Duuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

I just want to know the story behind what looks like a SUPER obvious reference to the Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job the one dude makes. It's so obscure for the majority of anyone who sees that commercial but they left it in there anyway.

 

[Machinehead]

I was fine with Hockey Night Live

I thought it was Donald Brashear.

I was fine with Hockey Night Live

Does this show replace Hockey Night Live? I thought it was a more light-hearted supplement.

I'm probably not going to watch, at least the first broadcast (better things to do with my Friday nights than sit watching TV), but I actually would like to support getting more hockey-focussed programming on NY TV.

 

[cwede]

not my thing, i watch the games,
i follow the NHL on the web/twitter/etc, watch NHL network a little

usually don't even watch pre-, post- or intermission shows,
or the nongame content on NBCSN

10 years ago, there was a need, but now so much hockey info is all around

what are they gonna tell us we dont already know?
dont really care about Grabner's favorite band or what Clendening puts on his hot dog

certainly don't care what those guys might say about popular culture or current events

i won't watch often, i don't think it will last,
i wish they'd bring back SportsDesk

Will Reeve being all grown up makes me feel old.

It looks like it could be fun but they're really trying a little too hard with all the promos and airtime to show, hey, we've got three wild and crazy guys.

Ir probably goes like 2-3 years. Most MSG shows are fairly entertaining, not must watch tv but if they're on, ok cool, I'll check 'em out.

MSG Sportsdesk was the greatest. Bob Page made me laugh as a child. Wish he'd get brought back but the Dolans hate him. Second city he basically got kicked out of. Detroit in the 80s. I will always remember when the Rangers traded Jay Wells to St. Louis and got Doug Lidster back when Page said "Talk about trading Tweedle Dee For Tweedle Dumb."

I don't think there is a more awkward person on this planet than Anson Carter.

 

[NCRanger]

Is the target audience for this even at home at 10:30 on a Friday night?

 

[FoxyClean]

Is the target audience for this even at home at 10:30 on a Friday night?

Considering it's directly following the game, yes.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

It looks like it's going to be uncomfortably bad. Three guys trying too hard to just be "bros" and so laid back and funny! while not actually being any of that. I can tell from the commercials and the interviews they did on MSG. It's gonna be 3 dudes trying so hard but the audience being uncomfortable.

I guess we will see though. It also has the vibe of wanting to give Christopher Reeve's son a show on the network. So they have the former player, the sports show host with experience and the young kid. I guess it depends on their chemistry. Everything deserves a chance before making up your mind, but I'm not overly encouraged by the bits they've shown.

 

[Stasis]

Always feels like Anson Carter tries too hard. It's weird. Throw in some Trautwig and McGuire (who I actually kinda like) interviews for more awkwardness.

This will be our version of the Habs' 'Antichambre' that sucks, if you understand French, I guess.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

3 try hards.

 

[Roo Returns]

The way it's been promoted reminds me of that Family Guy episode where they broke character and made fun of the little pop up adds for other shows in the corner of the TV "Ok Fox, so now you have two 20-something males one black one white standing with their arms crossed back to back with comfortable yet awkward weekly adventures"

Al Trautwig

 

[Ail]

This show will not get a second season and if it does there is no God.

 

[FLYLine27*]

I don't watch things like this.

I watch the games and highlights, that's it.

 

[RangerFan23]

I thought it was Donald Brashear.

LOL ... annnnnnnnnnnnd thread locked

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

I will never watch this show, looks awful

 

[nevesis]

I won't ever be watching this ****. Looks like trash.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Is it possible to watch this in Europe? If not, it's another reason to be ****ing pissed. I am already missing the MSG Beginnings and other shows all the time. I want to watch that
