Technical difficulties always come at the worst time, don’t they?
PowerPoint crashes before your big pitch at work, the mic cuts out as soon as the wedding toast begins...you know the drill.
For the bigwigs at TNT, their maiden broadcast had to feel like one of those scenarios mentioned above: geared up and ready to go, then...technology!
It’s unfortunate that the camera issues experienced throughout the game last night will likely be the big talking point, because TNT’s maiden voyage into hockey wasn’t bad, and even featured its fair share of bright spots.
The entire broadcast was anchored by familiar faces — it’s not like TNT went wild with their personnel selections, which is par for the course for anything related to the NHL — but felt pretty fresh, mainly due to the action off the ice.
