FGWB Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Has there actually been ANY real proof that the Sabres are going to be putting numbers on the front of their jersey for this game?Only the press release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland ehs Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 While I still dislike Conklin for the 2006 finals incident, how great of a deal would it be for him to start BOTH of the two outdoor games in the NHL's history.http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/2783746.jpg...A5397277B4DC33E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 And I'd love to make a red-line pass at Jennifer Hanson. Pass attempted, got broken up at the blue line.The Winnipeg music scene might have been a bit too closely-knit. At least it was 16 years ago.

Chazberg Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Why is the red line dashed again? I thought they made it solid when they got rid of 2-line passes....Rule 5c is still on the books:There shall also be a line, twelve inches (12") in width and red in color, drawn completely across the rink in center ice, parallel with the goal lines and continued vertically up the side of the boards, known as the "CENTER LINE". This line shall contain regular interval markings of a uniform distinctive design, which will readily distinguish it from the two blue lines... the outer edges of which must be continuous. (Paint code PMS 186)My understanding is that the pattern on the red line is in part to help players or officials who are colour-blind; the shade of blue used for the blue lines has a heavy green component, and it would be plausible that a red-green colour-blind player might have trouble immediately distinguishing the lines. Since the red line is still used for icing purposes, it's still an important consideration.We should start a separate thread with interesting red-line designs though...That's odd, cuz the Hawks have had a solid red line at least since they started back up in 05. Here's a pic of the UC from that year:And it's still the same today (except now the stands are full ) charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some teams switched back over to the solid line after the lockout ended and there are still a fair number of teams that havent.What irks me is how all across the league, no teams logo is drawn over the red line. So for every team that uses a single center ice logo, all of them have a thin white border between the logo and the red line. You see it in the Winter Classic logo, in that Blackhawks logo above and every other city, and in all cases I think it looks like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred Revolver Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 As for the red line debate, last season the Canucks had a bunch of mini stick/rink logos as their red line but this season it's solid red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejeff Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Some of the more modern designs are kind of distracting to my eyes.That would be the idea.Looks like Spacek is our captain for January, with Hecht and Pominville with the As.Also the NHL Network is replaying their preview show for the Winter Classic as we speak. Well in the US anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The redline is still used for detirmining icing and as such has to be there in full so the linesmen can tell if the puck is across before it is dumped in. Especially since now you aren't allowed to change lines after an icing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcdevil Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I know I am in the minority here but those Penguins jerseys are cool but dopey. They should be wearing the 2X Stanley Cup jerseys. I get that it's the winter classic but both teams in blueish is weird. The Pens jerseys were going to be a big hit either way because of Sid and they should be in black and yellow. To me, this is an opportunity lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 When I see the Sabres in thoses jersey's, I can't believe we're going to see the Bufflaslug again. IMO the sabres are looking way better in those retro ones. Also, I agree that the Pens should drop the blue powder for eternity and go with the yellow all the way. It's the same thing for the canucks. Their colors have to be gold, red/brown and black. There were great hockey teams, with king Brodeur in the V era, smyl, and Bure in the cup run later. That is what the Canucks should look. Anyway those colors were great looking and unique in the league. Back to the outdoor game, I'm looking to see if the jersey that Sid will be wearing will go to the classic auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis_of_Weasel Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 interesting... looks like the sabres jerseys have that terrible curved hemline, but the pens jerseys do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
