It was encouraging to see a much more energized and entertainingversion of the Kraken Hockey Network pre-game show Tuesday night at good old Climate Pledge. Hadn't peeked in for a while, so it was time for a fresh look. Much sharper producing and anchor work!! Yay
1. Nice opening sequence of fans arriving outside the arena to set the table for the show. Get people involved off the top. Always works.
2. PXP man John Forslund went totally upbeat in the booth intro, showing more of his personality, including the wearing of some funny winter head gear for the hosts to bounce off of in the toss.
3. They had a third co-host, Canadian Brett Festerling, who brought a knowledgeable, fresh approach (had not seen him before, and liked his work)
4. Ian Furness and Alison brought real energy to the studio desk. Their volume and pace and inflection and chemistry were on point. They seem to be much more comfortable together here. There was also some gift giving from Lukan to the guys and some laughs with ugly holiday sweaters.
4. Nice pops with the players about last minute shopping, favorite Christmas movie, etc. Showed the human side of the guys. Crisp holiday graphics too.
All in all, show is finally getting traction.
