News Article: Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part III

[BrickNHL]

McGahey only did home Monday games last year.

He was also terrible in all of them and formed a much worse partnership with McNab than anything people on here have complained about incessantly from Haynes or Moser, so this is absolutely something that shouldn't return.

Are you drunk homie?

 

[Ceremony]

Are you drunk homie?

I am not completely sober, but I have posted that before when I am and it's as right then as it is now.

 

[Pokecheque]

Hah...AJ called Luca Sbisa "Lucas Pizza".

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Ryker hasn’t done color this year has he?

 

[Pokecheque]

Ryker hasn’t done color this year has he?

No, but if his mullet gets any crazier it may join Moser in the broadcast booth.

[wayninja]

The only one confused was Moser tho....

The only one confused was Moser tho....

It's pretty much his job to know how to pronounce everyone's name correctly, so why he wouldn't have clarified this in preseason camp, or right after he was recalled, and before he got into a game is beyond me.

I used to do color commentary on the radio for HS Football games several years ago, and every week we'd go thru the list of players, and if there was a name we weren't sure about, we'd ask the HC how to pronounce it. Pretty basic stuff.

 

[wayninja]

I do color commentary for my wife who has no interest in hockey. I'm about as popular with her as moser is to us.

 

[Pokecheque]

I don't know how many of you watch NHL Tonight but Tony Luftman's laugh is something else...

Just got even uglier

Lol, Altitude is going to get crushed. They can't possibly be this stupid. This isn't going to end well for Altitude.

 

[UncleRisto]

Lol, Altitude is going to get crushed. They can't possibly be this stupid. This isn't going to end well for Altitude.

Yeah. And then they'll be a victim and expect people to give a f*** about Altitude.

 

[RockLobster]

Lol, Altitude is going to get crushed. They can't possibly be this stupid. This isn't going to end well for Altitude.

If Stan wants to dip into the WalMart money, then the end goal could be just to wait out Comcast to make a good deal with them. Or they have some damning evidence. I guess we'll find out.

 

[Ararana]

Clark went on the PDOCast for an all Avs episode. I haven't listened to it yet but the PDOCast is pretty good, I'm going to try to get to it today.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Perhaps they have a partner in DirecTV here that can help prove this is the case? At one time it seemed all 3 were in cahoots to crush Altitude. I doubt they file this lawsuit if they didn't think they had good enough evidence to win it. It's pretty clear this is happening. Why on earth would Comcast keep all their regional networks and not Altitude? You can't tell me that their Rocky Mountain Regional Sports Network is getting better numbers than Altitude. They have one team they cover from April to September, and then a bunch of crap on the rest of the year.

Drive Altitude out of business.

Are we near the end?

 

[CharlesPuck]

I finally got rid of comcast cable, so I longer care where they go.

 

[S3rkie]

At this point I dont care about either side. I'd even be down for ATT or Fox Sports local chapter that plucks some Talent from Altitudes husk. It would be one thing if they were producing great content before all this, but their product is so generic to begin with. Bring in some new blood behind the scenes.

 

[Pokecheque]

It'd be sad after years of some real rough beginnings for them to be torn apart right when they got their footing, but that may be where this is going. We'll see what happens. If there is indeed evidence that Comcast and Dish (and at least for a little while, DirecTV) were colluding to drive Altitude out of business, then there's gonna be hell to pay. Without that I'm not sure they have firm ground to stand on here.

 

[Balthazar]

I don't want Altitude to go out of business because it sucks for those who work there, but as a hockey fan I would thoroughly enjoy a non Avs-owned TV coverage. It's OK to keep a distance between the team and the broadcast.

 

[AvsRobin]

I don’t like the idea of regional sports network with homers either. I’d be intrigued with what replaces it if so.

 

[UncleRisto]

If Altitude ends up being replaced, I hope the new channel picks up Lauren and Rachel. Because... I think it's unfair... and sexist... if they end up out of a job. Yeah.

Unless this happens much later when they're older, then protect the jobs of someone younger.

Glad there's a podcast out there I can emphatically ignore.
