I mean, no disrespect to the Predators, but at first, I was caught off-guard to the Garden rocking on a Tuesday night against Nashville. I loved it! I didn't have a problem listening to the commentary while the crowd was roaring...or moaning (Double-minor to Gabby).
Back in the days of Sportschannel, MSG used to have a much louder crowd volume then Jersey and the Isles games (all attendance jokes aside). Since the acquisition of those properties, it's 180'd, in that, MSG makes Ranger games sound tame.
Knowing today's society it probably has something to do with crowds starting A--hole or flyers suck, something along those lines is "too offensive" for todays television
Anyone notice that when games are on MSG 2 the crowd/ice noise is MUCH louder? Perhaps it has to do with the sound mixing? MSG/MSG+ games have a Dolby 5.1 mix where MSG 2 games are stereo only.
I thought it was common knowledge that MSG dampens crowd noise more than others? I've seen this come up at least a couple times a year since I've joined on here. It's definitely what they do, I'm not sure why though.
Games on MSG are definitely quieter in terms of crowd nice so that the announcers can be clearly heard. No disrespect to Sam Rosen, but give me the crowd noise!

Same... I really enjoyed hearing the crowd last night!
I was at the game in 102.. I couldn't believe how the Garden was rocking on a late Tuesday night game vs. Nashville. I also went to the 5-1 rout of the Panthers earlier this year and you could hear a pin drop. It's weird how certain games seem like a full house with the Garden rocking and others not so much. Very entertaining game last night too.. MSG definitely needs to turn up the noise on their broadcasts!
could it be as simple as more mics ? Perhaps NBC mics the ice more or differently than MSG does.
I know some folks who have done audio for the NFL before and the tech crews mic the games differently form time to time
This is probably closer to the truth. When NBC Sports (fomerly VS) does a game they come in with a crew, trucks, equipment, etc. Because that is "THE" game that night they may have more cams, more mics, etc.
MSG does how many games a yr? I'm not saying they wouldn't benefit from more mics or cams or whatever, but sometimes it's just not in the budget... especially if you're spending that money on new sets, or other technology.
I'd be surpreised if they were spending money to dampen anything.
I was at the game last night. Call me shocked (happily) that the Garden was sold out against Nashville. The Gardenn was ROCKING last night like a playoff game. It was incredible. So what you heard on NBC was legit, MSG does drown out crowd noise.

They mic up the garden well though.. I have NHL center ice and i'll watch some other games and there are certain places where they hage a mic on the glass and some a-hole fan will sit there pounding on the glass and that's all you'll hear heh
Rangers broadcasting has spoiled me, you don't realize how good it is till you watch other teams.

I noticed that too. I like hearing the slap of the puck against sticks on tape to tape passes.
A tiny bit off topic but did anyone else who was at the game yesterday feel like the speakers were turned down a bit? When the Rangers scored I barely heard the goal horn or the goal song. The first goal was borderline awkward because no one really knew when to start yelling "go-o-oal." A lot of the music and other stuff seemed quieter than usual too. The guy in front of me said the same thing, I just wanna make sure we're not crazy.

But I do enjoy 70's everyday..LGR!!!!!!
