Let me rundown the idea of HBO's National Hockey Night.
In the Studio:Bob Costas, Cam Neely, Paul Stewart and Barry Melrose
In the Booth:Marv Albert, Mike Richter, and Pierre McGuire
Between the first and second period, it's The Penalty Box — a 12-minute, no-holds-barred roundtable about the state of the NHL
During the second and third, it's a traditional studio show with highlights of other action and a review of the action thus far. In the time remaining after the game, it's a quick recap
Game Features will be Rail cams that capture the momentum of the game. Graphics that are able to I.D. players and quantify statistics without overwhelming the play. Open mics that catch everything from the "tap, tap, tap" of the attacking team's sticks on a power play to the occasional F-bomb from a frustrated player. "We want to remind the fans at home that these broadcasts are rated TV-14," Marv vocally winks.
Your Thoughts.
