NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

[Hollywood Cannon]

I don’t hate it. I’m completely on board with giving it to these random teams and towns. They deserve it.

It’s new to them and will create the local buzz that makes the event great.

The national appeal of having the same five teams hosting has seemingly been lost on the television level so might as well steer into it. Focus on the actual event experience rather than TV which I know they can’t.

Can we put an actual live panther in the stadium for this? Just to spice it up.

As long as it sits next to Marlins Man.

It's completely idiotic to have the "Winter" Classic in Florida. I mean, what the f***? Then again, that whole concept of outdoor games has become pointless anyway, so might as well completely jump the shark.

Hurricanes leading the Leafs 4-3 halfway through the game...I know it doesn't mean much, but Matthews and Marner are each -4

Was Jamie Drysdale on ice for any of their goals?

 

[GKJ]

It has to be a night game. And we know that causes all kinds of bad light problems.

It's a Friday, so they're going to be competing with prime time bowl games. lol.

The Expanded College Football Playoff wouldn’t be on January 2

Hyman have OHL eligibility left?

This one had a bunch of issues. The lines were fabric under the ice for some reason, the ice melted and the fabric started coming through. There was also an invasion of bugs at one point. Obviously they've had a ton of experience putting these games on since then though.

Of ice and grasshoppers — Caesars outdoors game was NHL’s first

The ice melted for 1991 Kings-Rangers game and insects invaded after it was refrozen. But the NHL’s first game played outdoors on the Las Vegas Strip was an overwhelming success.
