Players destroying penalty box camera

[Eternal Leaf]

I've been playing and watching hockey for 30 years, and I've never once had the experience enhanced by having a video camera in the penalty box.

You see a player who doesn't think he deserved a penalty and is yelling at the referee / other team. He squirts some water on the ground, then some in his mouth. 50/50 if he spits or swallows. He adjusts his equipment. Sometimes there's a middle-aged fat guy in frame, wearing a cheap suit. He usually writes something down on his clipboard.

Am I missing anything? That camera doesn't need to be there and I don't care when it gets struck in anger.

What about Domi's fight with the fan?

Of all the things to give a f*** about, this is near the bottom.

Thinly veiled Zegras bash thread for something that happened months ago.

Honest question, why do you care if a player breaks a camera? What would this “list of offenders” be used for?

New admitees to the gulag.

 

[Sniper99]

They need to stop.

These cameras are expensive and are used to enhanced the TV broadcast.

Players should be fined the price of the camera and be put on a list of offenders.

do you own the cameras? Seriously, who gives a f***? they've been abused for years, why all of a sudden is this now an issue.

Do you pay for these cameras or something? Who the heck cares as fans what something the NHL has to cover costs?

 

[Oddbob]

Upon further thought, I think offenders should have to skate around during their shifts and introduce themselves to everyone on ice during gameplay as Penalty Box Camera Offenders. They aren't allowed to do anything else until they have met all players and officials and introduced themselves. I mean we want to stay safe out there!

I beg to differ

Thanks for all your serious answers in what should've been a humourous/sarcastic topic.

Just stash a pic somewhere in your jersy, much more fun!

Just like Mission: Impossible!

What about Domi's fight with the fan?

I think he would have put Domi to sleep!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

We must make sure to regulate all expressions of human passion, it will make the game better!

Dumb.


You destroy property you pay for it, and NHLers can certainly afford it.


Break all the cameras you want, just replace it after you’re done “expressing your passion.”

No idea what happened at the grievance hearing.

Chris nilan has talked about breaking things in the heat of the moment during an episode of his podcast.

I think the only time he mentioned getting a bill was in Hartford, but the Habs organization paid it.

I'm sure there weren't expensive HD cameras around then but I assumed the teams typically foot the bill for these types of things as long they are generally one off occurrences, and even multiple offenders like Nilan never had to foot a bill.

You watch a sport where it's allowed to have players drop their equipment and start punching each other but put quotes around expressing passion. Get a clue .

I guarantee the visiting team pays, otherwise the team probably considers it a non-issue. It's only weirdos like you and OP who care about these types of stupid things.

It's a humourous/sarcastic thread. Calm down, lmfao.

Ah I see the issue.

Jokes are for funny people.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

I apologize for triggering people with this silly thread.

 

[Thallis]

Not the property!!!

 

[tarheelhockey]

The NHL can’t say it out loud, but you know they love it when this happens.

I think players should break the cameras more often. Like, they should start breaking the ones inside the net as well

 

[Sol]

The NHL knew what they were doing when they put easily accessible cameras in a penalty box. I think I’d wrap it up to the cost of doing business.

 

[JMCx4]

Is this actually a thing?

Is this thing actually a problem?

Is this problem already being addressed by the NHL?

Need these answers before I can comment.

That's NOT the HFB Way.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Have it your way.
