RollTribe19 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The NHL's still 3rd-tier in Minnesota hockey fandom, will be until the Wild, paragons of medicority and casual interest, win a Cup, and will revert to it shortly thereafter. The only reason people think Minnesota "deserves" an outdoor game is because it's ungodly cold in the winter. Outside that, they're Raleigh with a guilt complex filling the seats.What about the fact that the state of Minnesota pumps out the most NHL players out of any state. 39 NHL players this year alone I believe. That's also not gonna stop anytime soon. Minnesota high school hockey is unbelievable...they sell out the X for 4 days straight for the state tournament.

M4One Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Is it fair that neither Colorado and especially Minnesota haven't held the Winter Classic: No. Does it make sense: Yes. The Winter Classic is a big made for TV deal and NBC/NHL is going to want to have the biggest draws. That means the big market teams with the big market star players. Neither Minnesota or Colorado have been any good lately, nor do they have the household names that have warranted their inclusion in the Winter Classic. Buffalo, who hosted the first one, will probably never get another, unless, say a Sidney Crosby becomes a Sabre. The same reasons probably apply to the Stadium Series. As great as Minnesota is for hockey, it doesn't help that they don't have a true rival that might help them get an outdoor game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the talk of last season- getting Parise and Suter in the 'steals of the summer'. People instantly called them Cup favorites. I don't see them hosting the Classic, but the next two Stadium Series will (or at least should) go to Minnesota and Colorado. St. Louis should be the next host of the Classic. They're the only remaining O-18 team (other than Dallas) that hasn't been hosted or participated. Most of the others have participated twice or more. The way I would've had it was had Washington host Tampa Bay this year (Ovechkin v Stamkos); St. Louis host Chicago next year; Minnesota hosting Dallas in the Stadium Series. Colorado hosting Los Angeles in the Stadium Series the year after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollTribe19 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Minnesota high school hockey is unbelievable...they sell out the X for 4 days straight for the state tournament.Thank you for reinforcing my point.In what way? Because they have the best high school hockey in the country and the fact that 18,000 people want to watch high school games, which features future NHLers year in year out, makes them third tier? With a college team in the Gophers that are almost always a top 10 program. Or is it that they have 5 division 1 hockey programs in the state that make them third tier hockey fans? So the fact that Minnesota enjoys and embraces hockey at every level makes them worse fans than other cities is what you're saying? Even though they pump out tons of NHL talent, the most in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 That's not what he's saying at all.He's saying that the Wild are still behind high school and college when it comes to hockey fandom. He's not saying that Minnesota hockey fans are bad, he's saying the Wild are third tier Minnesota hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, they definitely should get a Stadium Series game at the very least. It'll probably would have to be against a Chicago or Pittsburgh, but it would be a shame if they never got to host an outdoor game. I actually see Dallas hosting an "outdoor" game first before any of the teams mentioned with the possibility of playing in front of over 100,000 at AT&T Stadium.

A lot of experts were picking them to win the cup. So they boosted themselves exposure-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still MIGHTY Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I think they're selling just one of each jersey. (Might even be an auction. I'd assume it is.) Except for the previous 3rd jersey. (If you notice on the link, each jersey just says "jersey" except for the previous 3rd/current jersey that says "jerseys"). I'll be at the store on Thursday morning (and probably Friday... and Saturday... hopefully to avoid the zoo it's going to be on Sunday... and again on Monday.)I am, no bones about it, buying a Mighty Ducks shirsey. Probably a patch. Probably a book. Maybe a hat (I have to see them). Maybe a Finnish Flash t-shirt. Maybe a waving Teemu t-shirt. Maybe a fighting Teemu shirt. Maybe a magic 8 ball. Maybe a puck. Maybe a bobble head.Damn it. This team/Teemu is going to make me go broke. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game worn Ducks jersey would be nice too. All the jerseys must be medium sized, they won't fit me unless they're mediums. If the game worn jersey is too big, don't worry about it, I will get my granny to put it into a very nice frame. Thanks in advance!!!!!!! P.S., just in case you think I'm being completely serious, I'm just joking but, I would be very happy if this actually happened. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Petan, thin number at the top of the 9, thick number at the bottom. https://twitter.com/bauerhockey/status/552464870059569154How dare you mock Nike's innovations. Canada won the Gold and ended their five year Gold Medal drought because their 100th Anniversary Jerseys were 0.0000048357834548375% lighter than their jerseys from last year. This is extremely serious and very disrespectful to mock such innovation. Look at my avatar, you see that jersey, it will take the Cleveland Browns to the Super Bowl because its innovations are even greater than what they will be getting from Nike very soon yet it will never be used because the NFL wouldn't be able to come to terms with the fact that a brilliant Wookie innovated and transformed the Cleveland Browns into Super Bowl Champions.
