With the weather the way it is, that ice surface has to be complete crap. I guess i can't hold it against them...


...unless the Pens blow out the Hawks.

Honestly SICK of the whole phuck'n outdoor fad

Roenick would look better wearing a paper bag over his head...

With this snow...anything can happen tonight. Spectacle yes, but garbage conditions for skillful hockey.

Hopefully the Hawks can muck it up and suck it up and find 2 points.

Amen.

It's starting to look like a white out on TV.

Terrible conditions, terrible t.v., can't imagine paying to be there

Fad is right...

2 a year is fine...the winter and heritage classics are enough.

Unfortunately, the NHL see's cash so we'll likely see a comparable number next year

Yeah. I might switch over to the Rockford game soon.

The quiet ones are always the screamers, in my experience.

I dig it. Ice hockey was born outside, and is naturally an outdoor game.

Maybe have 1 day where there are 2 or 3 games and that's it...stagger the start times and do it that way.

Somewhere at Soldier Field, wonthecup10 is reading this and popping a tent in his pants...

Throw in Kassian and it will blow his mind.

Actually, I like the once a season Winter Classic and a once every other season Heritage Classic.

However, the Winter Classic needs to start involving teams and cities who haven't played in it yet.

This Stadium Series stuff is complete bullpoop.

You mean quiet like trading half the team for Kesler?

But this is the NHL...not the ponds of Saskatchewan

But every NHL team should play a few outdoor games per year to stay in touch with those roots.

I agree...conditions are bordering on ridiculous...

Snow is supposed to taper off and conditions might improve....but who knows ?
