I'm trying to think of any reason to force myself into watching this... the novelty of this thing has worn off and throw in the state of this squad? I don't even have any beer in the house right now so someone give me some reasons!

It’s been raining…

I'm legitimately wondering how much of the fanbase has been trained to assume that Hawks games aren't televised by default and will just miss this.

Or hell, how many fans have had the team fall into the background of their minds and have just forgotten that this is happening.

Craig Smith is back!
We're saved!!!

Can he wear a #4 sweater and play D?

And it being on at 3pm on NYE is kinda weird. We got cheap tix for the college games this weekend

Has there even been any advertising about this game?

Honestly until a few days ago I forgot it even existed

.Seth Jones 5 in a row fiasco?
.Hawks givev up 5-6 goals...again?
.Yank loss secured before1st period ends ...OR 3rd period collapse?
.STL gets goals by some 3rd and 4th line guys who hardly ever score,and by 5th or 6th 3rd oair dmen..whie Hawks "stars" fail to show up...again!

..NO Hawks goals from pure shots unless lucky bounce deflections...failed break-aways and 2 on1 chances not converted...while
STL probably gets 3 or 4 pure shot goals plus 1 or 2 deflection goals or rebound goals in close.

. Finally...while stinking,Hawks also hit Iron 2 or3 times ...naturally.

So with my predictive summary so likely to materialize ...why even bother watching another fiasco on t.v.?...if you paid big bucks to sit in the stadium and watch it live ,I at least hope you do not get rained on while enduring another epic Tank story of woe taking place in front of you ....for your viewing displeasure in what is supposed to be "entertainment" and a "competition" but instead turns into ANOTHER horror show ..but if you are masochists who are gluttony for punishment,ENJOY and EMBRACE THE TANK !

It’s the Blackhawks vs Blues. I’d be watching no matter where they were playing.

Jesus fiddy - why do you even post here? What a miserable take.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

That's actually pretty cool. Bummer that the L didn't mistakenly take Seth Jones to Evanston.

 

[x Tame Impala]

I’m off on NYE for the first time in a decade so I’m excited to be able to watch this one.

It might be the least hyped Winter Classic ever. And really weird that it's at 3pm on NYE.

Fun story - today is Cam Fowler's 1000th NHL game. Playing your 1,000th at the Winter Classic at Wrigley. That's pretty frickin' cool.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Gonna be a generational night for the Nazar line

 

[Pez68]

My son and I will be at the game. Weather looks to be clearing up in the next half hour or so. Hoping the Hawks don't suck too much.

Expecting this to go like the other 3 winter classics we’ve been in

 

[Putt Pirate]

Finishing up watching the Breakfast Club and then will be watching the game eating lasagna and drinking gin and tonics while partaking in some natural therapeutics. Happy New Year everyone!!!

I don’t think I’ve seen a single ad anywhere for it. It also being on NYE and at 4pm CST is also a really odd choice.

The ratings for this are going to be awful.

I wonder how the ice will be with all the rain
