I’m sick of this field hockey TV
I watch the tacky water cycle to see who will become the world champion, and to see who will become the prince of the ice hockey dads.
Exactly 30 years ago, Peter Forsberg won the scoring tournament (still the JVM tournament record) when he scored seven goals and 24 assists when the junior children’s tournament was played in Gävlerenkoen in Gävle.
Sweden lost to Canada, which became the JVM world champion, decided in a straight series and behind Peter Forsberg, teammates Markus Naslund (second) and Niklas Sundström (fourth) and from others David Viborn, Czechoslovakia, Jiri Lehtinen, Finland and twin brothers Peter and Chris Ferraro from the United States.
WC was also broadcast live on the then newly started TV4 bought out by Mats Pettersson, I don’t remember exactly who did the commentary but I’d be surprised if it was anyone other than Robert Perlskog and Boss Berglund.
do you remember?
Broadcasting also became the starting point for promoting the junior championship, which only Canadians were interested in at the beginning of the 90s.
SVT creeps through the ages…
Former TV4 director Mats Peterson recalls:
– There was no one who was in trouble, so there were no rights costs, we took care of the production and got the rights in the deal. Even then, I thought ice hockey was more open-minded than senior ice hockey, simply more fun, and for us at TV4 it became like bingo right away.
TV4 has broadcast for two years, and for so long now it’s almost unbelievable to imagine Christmas and New Year’s without WC Junior Ice Hockey on TV.
In recent years the world championship has gone a bit back and forth between channels and today it’s Viaplay and Sveriges Television that share fraternal rights SVT isn’t shy about crawling down in ages to be able to show some sport so don’t be surprised if in the summer we can watch a cold duck cup In tennis, at least in Play.
As a production, broadcasts may have progressed a bit since 1992/93, but they have also stalled in recent years.
Dad’s sense of hockey – then turned off
What other channels that 8-10 years ago devoted themselves to, pedagogically (okay) using the stick cage, stick and target as props, to show certain stances and technical details, SVT has now finally adopted it.
A small part of our tax dollars was used to buy the slippery floor where Jonas Andersson (not Junka) and Mikael Renberg sometimes slip.
I’m already tired of this field hockey TV.
When the other evening Renberg and Anderson – in skintight sausage-skin suits – would show how Simon Robertson (born Bert) spun around the hill to stand in front of the box, it became a parody.
We viewers got clear, distinct, slow-motion images as Robertson circled the defender and stood in front of goal, and then Renberg and Anderson showed the same, albeit in an indistinct form.
Are the props available to us viewers – or because TV users are starting to get bored with their jobs?
The ice hockey dad feeling never gets stronger than in these moments when, instead of watching TV, it feels like driving down a block of flats and spotting some dad know-it-all in a garage driveway.
When Jonas Andersson on another occasion stood 1.5 meters from the goal cage and said ‘If we say that’s the blue line’, I stopped him.
Whoever does this field hockey television must also, at some point, do some fencing with sticks and mark that if he really had a chance to defend himself, or finish the game, he would have sat out.
Hahahahahaha
It’s only a matter of time before an applicant ends up in an eye clinic because of a club tip, and then we taxpayers have to cough it up again.
sewing guild live chat
The other evening, he was also close to having Chris Härenstam get mutilated live on the studio floor by Mikael Renberg, after Härenstam gave a talk to Renberg who called the Swedish effort a “disaster”.
You don’t say that if it weren’t for Digerdöden, or an earthquake in Chile or other seismic activity, you don’t say, Härenstam said, and I wondered if I would have finished an ecumenical ministry with Desmond Tutu.
One evening, Härenstam, also living, apologized to Renberg, and it is not without reason that one wonders why the SVT is engaged in this kind of living sewing guild nonsense.
I get the most sensible and balanced reporting at Radiosporten, where Magnus Wahlman and Per Svartvadet comment on the matches.
Goes a long way, yes all the way.
