And the fact that we haven't had a Lightning Stadium Series game back in the Thunderdome yet is inexcusable.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

What did you expect?

 

I expected longer gap for Blackhawks especially that since 2014 they played outdoor every year (except current season). Also it's gonna be their 3rd Winter Classic apperance in last 5 editions! At least now they're a home team so no more white jersey.

Oh, I forgot to note that I got to see the new Minnesota homes in action the other night. They're bad, folks! The standalone M from the tailed script is a lousy secondary, the hem stripes look bad, the red accents look out of place. Just a lot of not good. I'd have stuck with the alternates that felt like regular homes to me because they never wore red at home against the Blackhawks.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Bruins should wear this

It was great for the 90s and weekend hockey on Fox.  Not the worst jersey worn in the NHL.  The Pooh bear logo ruins it.

 

It's interesting to see the difference in the jerseys the fans are wearing behind the glass.  The CCM crest is way bigger than the Starter crest.

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Nashville and New Jersey are the two biggest disasters of this changeover

Washington as well.  Had the PERFECT chance to go back to the retro look and stuck with the same design but shifted the Bettman apron stripes to the shoulders straight across.

Reports today say the Hawks and Bruins will play in the 2019 Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium.

 

First of all, major snoozers. Second, I really hope the Hawks finally do something creative with their WC uniforms. The only interesting one was the first.

Blackhawks again? Seriously? It's time for NHL to making "Blackhawks outdoor classic" and left other outdoor games for rest of the 30 teams.

What did you expect?  Chicago is the nearest team to Notre Dame.  The Winter Classic is the big outdoor game of the year, of course they're going to feature the premier teams.  Im a Lightning fan and I know it'll likely take hell freezing over to see the Bolts play outside on New Years Day.

 

The Stadium Series games are where the teams in the rest of the league who will likely not make it to the New Years showdown get to play.

On all of this I have one argument to make.  Chicago, aside from Pittsburgh, is one of the the NHLs most popular AND profitable teams going right now.  Chicago being in the 2019 Winter Classic does not bother me and plus it would be the 10th anniversary for them hosting their first one in 2009 when they played Detroit.

Same. I have a pretty extensive NHL jersey collection and own a lot of the "ugliest" uni's so I had to have one.

 

After years upon years of thoroughly trashing the Pooh Bears, I had an epiphany a few years ago.

Now I own 2 of them, customized (Rob DiMaio 19 w/ Bruins 75th anniversary patch and PJ Stock 42)

Nice! I always liked them and as I started collecting knew I wanted one. I'm actually a NYC area sports fan and it's the only Boston product I own haha.

I read somewhere that the Hawks are just going to wear their normal jerseys (unsure whether home or away) due to them playing annually, but I can't find the link. It's like they don't even want to participate in this anymore.

Man, that would suck, they could something creative now that they’re actually at home. Wearing their home would just ruin the outdoor game experience a little.

Oh, yeah, the NHL and Rocky Wirtz absolutely hate free money. That story checks out.
