CarltonTheBear said:I agree that'd be super cool for the fans, but what would all the sound/video/technical people involved with making that sort of thing happen have to quarantine in the bubble without their families for months as well?
I just want them to power through this thing in the safest way possible. Restricting access to all the people involved is the best way to do that. If that costs reporters a few stories (that they wouldn't print anyway for a few years until it became kosher to do so) then I guess so be it.
Heroic Shrimp said:I don't know how much there will or won't be professional videography within the bubbles, but if this season gets completed, it's conceivable there could be an amazing documentary, either serial/ongoing like 24/7 or afterward in summary, about the whole process. There's just so much material: the pandemic backdrop, the logistical challenges of bringing it all together, player life in the bubbles both together and away from families, the challenges of creating the broadcast experience, nevermind the sporting spectacle of the playoffs.
The sheer scale of the material just dwarfs what we had with 24/7. NHL, please do this, and get Liev Schreiber on board as narrator again.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's some middle-ground between non-coverage and shower-cams.Nik said:Heroic Shrimp said:I don't know how much there will or won't be professional videography within the bubbles, but if this season gets completed, it's conceivable there could be an amazing documentary, either serial/ongoing like 24/7 or afterward in summary, about the whole process.

Just force each player to wear a GoPro for two months. Practice, Golf Course, the Showers...the possibilities are endless.

CarltonTheBear said:I'm not sure the league who is having their bubble in one of the worst hit Covid spots in the world right now is really the one I'd be using as the gold standard for how to operate through this whole thing.
Heroic Shrimp said:I again don't disagree. It's all about how secure the bubble is. But with the many, many hundreds of players and team personnel within the bubbles of either sport, I doubt adding a dozen some media members of various stripes is going to be the difference between success and failure, so long as the bubble standards apply to everybody. Either the bubble is secure or it's not, but a bubble in Canada is way more likely to be secure than one in Florida.

Yes, that's definitely going to be the craziest thing about this whole experience.

I thought the Leafs "away" games were going that route too. For the home bubble teams Oilers and Leafs away games they would be in the visiting dressing rooms.

L K said:Outside of the marketing opportunities for docu-series of "life in the bubble" I don't see the need for any media to be there in person. You can do virtual press conferences perfectly fine because we have these amazing things called conference calls. I don't need to see microphones directly in the face of players to hear questions.
