The 3D Game
In case you haven’t heard, Wednesday’s game against the Islanders is going to be broadcast in 3D. For those of us who can’t attend the viewing at the Theatre in MSG, we will need a TV capable of projecting a 3D image. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think many people have those. Basically, it will be the same type of game for most of us.
For the rest of you who will be attending the viewing, or for some reason have a 3D TV (Buy me one? Please?), it will definitely be an interesting experience. I don’t think it’s going to be anything outlandish, where a slap shot seemingly comes at your head, but I would think it’s something comparable to the movie Avatar (in which Sean Avery delivered his best acting performance of all time). It will be a subtle 3D, which is probably perfect for a hockey game. Can you imagaine how much flinching there would be if a Zdeno Chara slapshot seemingly comes right at your face?
I kind of wish I could attend the viewing, it would be something worth the $20, just to see how the technology works. But hey, I’m a little geeky, so I’m probably the only one who would be interested in that. If you are going tot the viewing, drop me an email. We definitely want to know how it was.

I don’t think we could have written two more opposite articles on this subject. You wrote that $20 would be worth it, I wrote that I’d rather pay a bum to let me kick him in the nuts.

I’m more interested in the technology and how it’s presented. I wish it was a Blackhawks game.

Watch the rangers in 3D they are painful to watch as it is in 1D

I’d be curious if I’d be able to make it. But I can’t

If you don’t live in the city (which I don’t) and you don’t have a 3D TV (which, again, I don’t) there’s really no point. If you’re in the city and free, it could be awesome. How much do 3D TVs go for? 2,000? I think it could be awesome, and seeing Avatar that way was incredible. Just don’t see it lasting. No one has 3D tvs. And, btw, great Sam Worthington/Sean Avery reference. That was on my mind during the whole movie
