Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part IV

[Pokecheque]

Wow they waited until the playoff games weren't broadcast on Altitude anymore to strike a deal...?

LOL somebody at Comcast just realized the Avs might win the Cup this year.

Could also be altitude lowering their supposedly ridiculous demands.

Both sides are idiots. They couldn't have done a worse job in negotiations. Literally everybody lost, including the fans.

Comcast doesn't care about anything but the money in this deal. If something changes, I imagine it’s on Altitude’s end.

The only NHL team Comcast cares about is the Flyers and that’s because they own the team. Since the Flyers could also win the Cup this year, I promise you that’s where their energy is going.

I mean does it really matter anymore? The games aren't being blacked out now and I don't have to listen to Moser.

Win to the effin' win as far as I am concerned.

 

[Foppa2118]

I honestly don't see what the big deal is with Moser and McNab.

There's only like one or two play by play guys and analysts that I actually really like to listen to. Everyone else just serves as people to watch the game with, and make it entertaining.

I want to listen to people with a history in the game, and with the Avalanche, so they can put into proper context how good the current players and team are. Not just praise them because they're the home team.

They are annoying and I don't like my hockey games to look like infomercials.

Honestly the only American play by play/analyst duo that I like are the Dallas ones...and they are still nowhere near Sportsnet or TSN level.

Yeah we just have different views on them then, because I find basically nothing about them that reaches the level of annoyance for me.

Moser says silly things cause he's a goofball, and they both get players numbers/names wrong, but those are things that roll off my back pretty easily.

The anti Comcast thing was stupid, but it wasn't pushed aggressively for very long. It became more of a passive thing in the background, after I'm sure Altitude got plenty of negative feedback.

Here's something to get the thread on the right track from the beginning

 

[Boulder Avalanche]

I can handle McNab but Moser is awful. On the front of Comcast working out a potential deal with Altitude who cares at this point? People who are interested enough have figured out ways around it and the damage has already been done. With the decline in cable and Corona Virus I am not sure how long Altitude lasts unless Kroenke just throws good money after bad.

Am I missing something here? Usually NBC takes over broadcasting after the first round anyway, so the games will no longer be able to be blacked out by Altitude in Colorado. Weird that the dam would break now after Altitude loses all their leverage.

 

[klozge]

Oh, do they finally close down?

[UncleRisto]

Hmm, that's odd, I could've sworn I'd been streaming...

 

[JLo217]

I hope all of you in Co are safe! We believe lost our home in the CZU fire out here yesterday. Crazy times in the west.

I don’t know how it works on the NBA side, but Altitude is irrelevant now until the next season starts for Avs fans. And for many of them, they’ve found other avenues to watch.

You're testing me.

No, I'll go in the other thread and not post about this. It's best for everyone.

It looks like he’s welcoming viewers to 68th broadcast of The Masters.

“Hello, Friends!”

That's what I thought. Altitude was playing chicken with Comcast, and now they've lost an entire season. This has been a circus with clowns on both sides since the beginning.

Well just one quick one.

Kinda sad seeing the great George Richards and also Craig Morgan have to start their own subscription websites after getting axed by The Athletic. I'd almost pay for Richards' just to read his stuff--he's that good IMO--but I just can't justify the cost. Hopefully they get hired someplace I can actually read their work.
