Battle of the Bums.

 

[NJersey]

10-0 coming up

 

[RedRocking]

Hawks PK is pretty bad. Game over.

 

[John Pedro]

poor Bedard

such a terrible team... can't even get out of their own zone

 

[RedRocking]

Bring the Pumpkins back out for some *instrumental* versions of the classics

 

[Nikki Potnick]

You'd think the NHL would be wise enough to not put a lottery team as the host of the WC, yet here we are.

 

[jetsforever]

Nice for Fowler!

 

[BretterThanYou]

Speak for yourself.

I don't care about this format and it's been done to death

-> I actually won't watch it.

nope

Why be in the thread then, if it doesn't interest you?

I mean, logic would insinuate that if you weren't watching, or weren't interested, you would kind of just move on from the thread and go on to things that do interest you.

Because they’re watching lol

 

[SladeWilson23]

My only complaint is why can't they get the damn camera angle right?

I thought the game in Seattle last year was really fun, despite the Kraken not being any sort of a contender. Full ball park, everyone was excited to be there despite knowing the ice could be problematic.

Beating VGK was nice, too.

 

[Le Tricolore]

These Blues jerseys are so bad. I love the cream colour, but wtf is that? "St. LOUIS"? Awful. Throw on a logo on that.

Blackhawks are fine. I feel like they've worn these 800 times in their outdoor games. Mrazek's pads look sharp though.

They claimed it was a throwback to an old professional STL team from way back in the day, but most of us just assume they forgot and did it last second

 

[Summer Rose]

It's Lazlo Holmes! Let's do that hockey!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I like the “did you know there was a game here today”
“No not really”

If they had put the STL from the helmets as a crest it would at least be better. I'm not sure it'd be perfect as they seem better suited for a shoulder patch or something of the sort.

 

[ShippinUpToBoston]

This game sucks. Camera angles are bad and the ice looks terrible. This should make the USA / Canada game later look so much faster.

 

[Cloned]

I feel like the NHL should stop having multiple outdoor games every season. It’s rapidly losing its novelty. Crowd energy gets lower with every passing year.

 

[TheNumber4]

How many times can you do the same thing and keep calling it a classic?

Low hanging fruit revenue is all Bettman knows.

That’s why this will be a 40 team league in 5 years.

The Winter Classic in Mexico City is not far off.

The Winter Classic in Mexico City is not far off.

I have a MUCH better idea:

 

[Summer Rose]

Is this what passes for music these days?

 

[Patrik26]

WTF is this shit? Leave it for the NFL. Please.

 

[Score08]

why don't you float a better idea out?

since you have a such a keen understanding of what's wrong, surely your brilliant mind knows the right answers too

Pay me the same salary these bloated unqualified nhl executive oligarchs get and I’ll gladly offer a solution.
Eff it, I’ll do it for free, cancel all outdoor games, it’s a gimmick that’s been played out and gets worse every year. I’d rather pull my toenails out with needle nose pliers than watch this crap, And frankly I don’t care which teams are playing. It’s nothing more than a revenue gate grab . The casual fan could give 2 flying craps about this.
