GDT - Rochester @ Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 7:05 AHLTV

[inkman]

Will Krebs be a permanent fixture between Quinn and JJ?  How many more games does Mattias need before joining the Sabres?

Is this game being streamed anywhere? Would love to watch.

[inkman]

Well you can pay for an individual game and stream it through AHLTV.  If you are looking for something else, I’m not sure if those options are available for an AHL game. 

[LabattBlue]

Are all the games on ahltv?  On Rochester cable, do they show all Amerks games?

 

Just trying to figure out how these broadcasts are profitable?

I think we see a better Krebs compared to his last game. He was fine but he should have gotten some practices and been able to settle in with his surroundings a little. I hope they play him with JJ and Quinn because oh boy will that line have some jam. when you consider JJ is a ball of hate, Krebs is tenacious, Quinn is calmly tenacious which is freaky to me. There is just a lot of skill and no quit between the 3. Also all 3 are good at puck battles, Quinn is probably the smartest but Krebs is close. All play with pace and 2 of 3 have good shots.

@PerreaultForever asking about Adams-type players needs to watch that line.

Only select Amerks games are on TV in Rochester.  Usually 5-6 games a season.  I haven’t heard about any for this season yet.  AHLTV is strictly pay per view or a season type package.  I forked over the $70 for this Amerks season (that’s roughly equal to one trip to the BCA for me for one game for a ticket, concessions etc).

Whether the TV (internet) broadcast is profitable might be the wrong way to look at this.  The radio broadcast almost definitely is & the announcers, producer & the audio technicians are already figured into the costs.

The parent club & likely the Amerks coaches themselves want to have video of how the kids played & now that there's a fancy video board in rink, they're going to already have paid for at least some cameras & crew to cover the needs of those groups.

So, what are the actual costs specifically related to the TV broadcast?  Maybe a couple of extra cameras & the infrastructure / bodies to run them.  That can't be too much & is partially offset by the subscribers to the AHL.tv package & by marginal increases in the value of the rink advertising.  Plus, if the broadcasts are unprofitable per the accountants, they get to write off those losses and lower their tax bill.

I'd normally be at this game, but unfortunately I couldn't get the day off. I'm actually pretty bummed to be missing this one.

[Buffalonill]

Krebs with 4 points 

6-1 Rochester

[inkman]

Well this is less than ideal 

[Taro T]

Jankowski on the penalty shot.  1-0.

[inkman]

Jankowski with the SO attempt.  Smokes the goalie like inkman does a J.  

[Norcal]

Why is Jankowski not a Sabre again?

[Taro T]

Peterka just missed.  Hit the near post.  The Amerks were all over the Pens crease.  Just couldn't finish. 

‐-‐‐------------------------

Don Steven's is now referring to everybody as Peterka.  Malone actually had the puck.  He's gonna force people to actually watch to figure out who's doing what.

[Edit: comments were actually a couple of minutes apart.  Didn't mean to imply Malone was the guy that hit the pipe.]

 He was signed to an AHL deal 

[Norcal]

It's Pekar lol

[Taro T]

Peterka w/ a trip.

And now Stevens is calling Pekar Peterka on the kill.  Don, if he's in the box, he isn't killing the penalty too.

[Flashsabre]

I thought Krebs scored earlier for sure. I don’t know how that missed. He now has a penalty. Kid has a lot of jam/compete.

You might want to forward that to Don Stevens.  😉

 

[K-9]

I don’t know, but Peterka just looks so ready.

Yup.

[Flashsabre]

If Peterka keeps his number then him and Tuch can rekindle the 77-89 late 1980s magic😁
