Serves Ottawa right for not being a large market O6 team.
You gotta support the team.
This'll remove your entire pelvis.
I don't know which makes me lose more respect for the NHL: the fact that they made this policy in the first place or that they spinelessly rolled it back as soon as someone defied it.
Superliminal advertising is way more effective.
And the type of deep analysis a knowledgeable fan might want is actually really hard to not only come up with live, but while watching something live without the benefit of watching a replay or a better camera angle.
At best, this kind of analysis is given a few minutes in between periods/quarters/halves/innings between commercial breaks and any other stories the network wants to cover.
Even if the announcer gets a generous 25 minutes between when the play happened and when they get a 2 minute spot to talk about it, that's a pretty tight deadline to get a video package together and come up with some talking points. There aren't a lot of people who have both the knowledge of the sport and the skill to put it together in a way that everyone will understand.
As an aside, there's an installation at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto that lets you try your hand at recapping a few games. It's tough even with a script. The announcers are doing it live.
The valets for the restaurant next to me just use all the metered street parking in front of our building. Imagine paying someone $20 to put $5 into a parking meter 100 feet away.
As long as you befriend a homeless person beforehand, you're covered.
It'll vary depending on the city, but generally not. Finding something affordable near downtown Toronto or Vancouver will be next to impossible, while in smaller cities like Edmonton, Calgary, or Ottawa, it will just be really, really hard.
This was in the early summer, but I'm pretty sure it's a year-round event.
Add another 8 inches worth of services fees in there too.
