Skycam at Verizon Center!

Fans at Verizon Center noticed something flying through the air before and during Friday’s Bruins-Caps preseason game – a Skycam. According to CapsPR, the “computer-controlled stabilized, cable-suspended camera system will be tested at VC & during tonight’s #CapsBruins broadcast on CSN.”

While this would certainly be awesome for television viewers, it doesn’t do anything for the fans at Verizon Center other than give then something else to gawk at, and sometimes mess with their game-watching experience.

Reactions:

Sky cam for hockey, like Marxism, is dank in theory but kind of ineffectual in reality.

The Skycam looks like a facehugger from Alien.

It's a distracting obstruction to those of us upstairs. https://t.co/aYEuLuwKBO
