(Just so you know, you were supposed to say “in 3D” to yourself in a booming movie narrator voice.)
H/t to Chris Botta for picking this one up. But just in case you wanted to relive the excitement and amazing graphics of Avatar except with hockey and probably not 8-foot tall blue people, you can catch the Rangers and Islanders playing in 3D. It’s a game that won’t mean much to the Islanders in the standings (Fowler/Hall/Segiun here we come!) but the Rangers are fighting for a playoff spot (and not doing so hot).
MSG, a leader in delivering state-of-the-art, cutting edge technology to viewers, announced today that it will telecast the March 24 Rangers-Islanders matchup from Madison Square Garden in 3D, the first network hockey telecast ever produced in 3D. MSG will also be the first network in America to offer home viewers a live 3D sports telecast. In 1998, MSG was the first regular provider of sports coverage in high-definition television, producing all Knicks and Rangers home games in that emerging format.
The Rangers will host a special viewing party of this historic telecast at the Theater at Madison Square Garden that will include appearances by popular Rangers alumni Mark Messier, Adam Graves, Ron Duguay, Nick Fotiu, Ron Greschner, Dan Blackburn and others, as well as fan contests and giveaways .
Well, if you’re lucky maybe you can punch Mark Messier and not get arrested. Or if you’re a girl, Ron Duguay will probably try to pick you up. So there’s that. But Dan Blackburn? Really???
