2016 Winter Classic plans in Foxborough announced - MOD WARNING POST #119

[JRull86]

Figured this deserved it's own thread going forward to discuss relevant information concerning the upcoming Winter Classic between the Bruins and Canadiens.


The Bruins are holding a press conference TODAY (7/29) at 2PM at Gillette Stadium to discuss the Winter Classic. No word if there will be information on ticket availability to non 1/2 season and STHs made available.

Mods feel free to merge this into another thread if need be.

All the Scabs could manage was a local boy castoff from the Sabres and the freaking Roadrunner? Is Patches too busy scoring sorority girls? Nilan in rehab? Well, at least we get Bergevin (not!)

The GDT for this should be epic

 

[Shaun]

when do tickets go on sale?

 

[Zac Rinaldo*]

we're gonna get creamed

 

[Fire Sweeney]

No Claude ? That means he'll be gone by then.

 

[Fenway]

They better give Gil Santos a seat as he looks ready to keel over

NHL app just announced a Scabs/B's alumni game prior to the Winter Classic. Will Ludwig fall down? Will Knuckles butt end Nifty? Will Jonathan bust open Bouchard? Will the Flower miss the net? Will Kovalev wear a turtleneck? Will Carbonneau be loathsome? (actually, that last one is a given)

To paraphrase Pedro - "Wake up John Kordic and have him face Miller. Maybe he'll drill him in the face!"

(too soon?)

Well the guy is in his 70s plus today's heat & humidity are a killer. I thought he did pretty well. A true classic, is Mr. Santos.

Will Ribeiro collapse in agony when Chara breathes on him?

 

[Mione134]

Still can't believe Looch won't be apart of this....

I'll be fine...no really..I'll get over him being gone eventually

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Can't believe the Habs couldn't even send anyone better than an AHL scrub to represent them.

 

[TheyTuukkaMyCup]

Wait so will I be able to buy tickets? I'm planning a trip coming down from Alaska and if I can't purchase tickets then :-(

The fine print calls them "packages". I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I read that, and I think I'm right.

It sounds like there's an alumni game on 12/31, the day before the WC, and it sounds like they're probably going to bundle it with the WC.

Why do I always have to get fries when all I want is the damn burger?
