Hockey rinks just don’t sit well in baseball stadiums. Look how far away everyone is :\
At exactly what point do you start to realize that life without knowledge is death in disguise?
seriously
Maybe it’s just hard to tell from this angle, but it really looks like all those people at the rink level would have a hard time seeing anything… like where the puck is, for example.

Sucks to have been anyone paying outrageous prices for rink level center ice seats.

Last year Caps season ticket holders mostly got offered seats in the nosebleeds. My aunt got some of those and just sold them. The view looked like it sucked from there and it was cold and rainy. I didn’t mind too much staying at home at watching Varly win on TV, although Caps fans that went really enjoyed. The Caps were promised a home Winter Classic game in the next couple years, but sadly for logistical reasons they vetoed doing it on the National Mall. That would be an amazing view.
So, they moved it off of New Years day, AND there are other games scheduled tonight? Fail, IMO.

I understand that, and I like that get to watch more than one game toady, but I honestly think that if the WC is going to be all that and a bag of chips fro the NHL, they shouldn’t have scheduled any other games that day.

I see the fact that it’s an afternoon game as opposed to the regular night game about as close as they’d get this year. You don’t wanna push back the schedule another day, but I see what you’re seeing.

It’s always an afternoon game. Last year it was delayed by weather.
At exactly what point do you start to realize that life without knowledge is death in disguise?
I actually thought it was more exciting being a night game and in prime time last year. The players seemed to like it. The day before was New Years Eve so some of them stayed up with their families at the hotel because of the later game.
So Bob is apparently a big rival of Varly’s when they were growing up in Russia, competing for spots on national teams. Here’s some stuff I collected from a few sources, forget where the 1st quote came from but the second is from Caps blog Russian Machine Never Breaks:
Then there are the Russians who fall through the cracks, such as KHL goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who signed a free-agent contract with the Philadelphia Flyers last May. Bobrovsky was the backup to Washington Capitals goalie Semyon Varlamov on the 2006 World Under-18 Championship team that placed fifth. In the 2007 Super Series, Bobrovsky eventually replaced Varlamov, the 23rd overall pick by the Capitals in 2006, at the Under-20 level.
In Russia, Bobrovsky is well-known as Varlamov’s main opponent for his age. For example, in 2008, former Russian WJC team coach Sergey Nemchinov neglected to call Varly and ask him to play on his World Junior Championship team. Nemchinov instead preferred Bobrovsky. Why? Here’s what he was quoted as saying at the time:
"I didn’t have any conflicts with Semyon Varlamov. I just call guys I trust."
We here at RMNB thought that this was a pretty weird excuse. Here’s what Semyon Varlamov’s agent had to say on the issue:
"I don’t think that official version is right. […] I guess that maybe the bosses of Lokomotiv asked Nemchinov not to call Semyon because they were having goalie issues."
Anyways, most fans in Russia didn’t agree with that decision, and now see a huge rivalry between Varly and Bob. When they played together for the Russian National Junior teams, Varly was almost always the number one goaltender.

Yes. There are rumbles that Minnesota, St. Louis, and Colorado “should be involved” in an outdoor game such as the Classic. Those are the words out of NHL chief operating officer John Collins mouth. (Link)

I guess that’s one way to look at it. Personally, I’d rather stay on the bench with my team. When I was out with a broken arm, I still went to my teams’ games and stood behind the bench. Yeah it sucked that I couldn’t be out there on the ice, but at least I got to be a part of it. It was a lot worse when I was at home and heard later about how the game went.

I doubt Roy will play… he didn’t play for Montreal… can’t remember the reason why….
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
The problem is Colorado is the only city out west that is cold enough to have it and we are not a power house team so ratings might be tough.
Avalanche Hockey: egressing to the mean
when do they announce? If the Avs make the playoffs they might make a case for themselves
"NI-YIY-YICE PANTS!"
I also have a hard time seeing Avs brass OK a situation that would put the Avs on 24/7.
At exactly what point do you start to realize that life without knowledge is death in disguise?
They did that kind of thing already for ESPN in the height of the Wings/Avs rivalry. I don’t think they’d turn down that kind of publicity.

Massive free advertising that they don't have to do
Even with the iron curtain, I don’t know why they’d turn it down.

Random thought
I wonder what it would be like to see a hockey game with the ice painted black and a white hockey puck?

What a terrible whistle

makes up for the terrible penalty call
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

WTF?! Who’s gonna fucking dive this late in the game?
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
non goalie can not cover the puck in the crease, it is delay of game

I didn’t see anyone cover it… some Ranger came sliding across and blocked it…
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
I thought you can’t put your hand over it, you can however block someone else from getting it.
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Well that was exciting.

Lundqvist… takes off mask, still manages to look like GQ model.

My mom just told me that when I have kids, if I have a son, to name him Henrik. Done.

Yeah, unfortunately, there’s two other Henriks that you probably don’t want your son associated with. They play for Vancouver and Detroit respectively.

True, how about middle name of Lundqvist? so that problem will never happen, hahaha

I’d say that is a suitable alternative.
