Good to see this out of the CBJ television partner. In watching all the different NHL feeds on Center Ice over the past season, it's clear that some markets cover their NHL teams really, really well. Boston and Chicago come to mind. Others - most markets, actually - could stand to step it up...both in-season and out of season. So let's give Fox Sports Ohio credit for the effort.
(In truth, those guys are about as creative a bunch as you have in the NHL. Their "All Access" game broadcasts of last season, while not perfect, showed a willingness to try just about anything to share a better CBJ/hockey experience. I don't know of any other market where entire broadcasts were treated in this manner.)
Can't wait to see what FSO has in store for us!
