There is a heavy freezing spray warning. Be safe mariners.

Anyway, should be "winter-like".

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I know it's in the Rangers MSG deal and all, but the fact Buffalo is the home team in Queens is ridiculous.

Also I completely forgot about this. The amount of buzz on this game is at radio static levels.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Oh boy!! Clearing my schedule for this one!!!

Same. The only reason I remembered is because I have two people on my fantasy team playing

 

[SML2]

Can the NHL please do away with musical guests? Ace Frehley? I'm pretty sure the guy is trashed at 11:30 in the morning and it would be a test to find a less relevant act anywhere. Every time they bring a musician on it's a complete disaster.

The NHL has terrible marketing.

The temp for this game is 18°F, but the "feels like" temp is only 6°F.

It must make players move as quickly as possible. Just to get warmer and not to get frozen))

 

[SML2]

I'm hoping for the music to be truly facepalm quality. Like when the guy from Def Leppard put the Stanley Cup upside down.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Maybe it's just me but the buzz for this game feels non-existant. It's the 10th anniversary of this event and I'm not sure even NBC cares.

Ace Frehley bombed the Rangers home opener a few years ago.

 

[Igright]

Oh, it's already the 4th outdoor game for McDonagh.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

So does anyone know when this game really starts? I hate when NBC does this.

 

[ellja3]

It's already so cringeworthy.

 

[CaptBrannigan]

JR is the perfect goof to use for all those wacky segments.

 

[aufheben]

It's already so cringeworthy.

I'm starting to question if the NHL even has a marketing department.

New York, New York is only Manhattan, btw. Citi Field is in Flushing, NY.

No doubt they have.

 

[Crosstraffic]

Oh dear.

 

[northeastern]

They need to stick to hockey the musical guests are so bad. Time to get this game going.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Who is this musical guest. They are singing like they haven't stopped drinking last night

 

[Matt Rentfree]

It's Ace Frehley - he was the original guitar player in Kiss.

 

[SladeWilson23]

I still have no idea how they time the fly over so perfectly.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

For being 10 years old, they are doing a pretty good job.
