Sens-Panthers.

This game is not televised - not in the conventional way, at least - so on Centre Ice tonight, they have the Panthers' in-arena video feed combined with an audio feed from the Panthers' radio broadcast.

This whole production is adorable and hilarious. Like watching a Rogers Community TV production of Ottawa Wheels/Loggers roller hockey circa-1996

As a Latvian, I'm curious about the pronunciation of Daugaviņš. I would assume that all English language broadcasters would mispronounce it the same way (ending it with -ins instead of -inch).

[dzuunmod]

He told broadcasters around the league to pronounce it kind of like "DOG-ivans" (where "ivans" sorta rhymes with "evans"). I've heard the Ottawa guys say that they know it's wrong, but it's the one North Americans are most likely to say, so he asked them to go with that.

The Florida guy sorta said it like "duh-GAH-vins".

[thelittlesthomo]

I would anglicize it as "DOW-gavins" but the Ottawa version is certainly better than the Florida, which made me wince.

[dzuunmod]

Actually, if I think it out a little more, it's probably more like "DAW-gavins" that the Ottawa guys say it. Close to yours, but not quite.

That would have been a cool feed to watch.

I always like when I stumble onto a local feed from somewhere else.

Once when I had dish I temporarily had NYC affiliates of NBC for the night, I was in heaven.

It was kinda fun, but I'll be glad to return to a professional production with the next game. It wasn't in HD and the camera work and angles were... not ideal.

The novelty of finding local channels for me has worn off. We get local channels from Seattle and Detroit plus nine different cities in Canada. No NYC, but we might also get KTLA from Los Angeles, now that I'm thinking about it.

Lori tells me about the days she would get the Detroit feed, she still laughs remembering Mel Farr;

Let me tell you, it's very odd to have a chick from Alberta that knows about this stuff. haha
