Bleujayone Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 If it is then may the next year be @ Boston's Fenway Park, and pit the Bruins against the New York Rangers. I would have proposed the Habs, but they already played in the very first one against the Oilers. We all have our little faults. Mine's in California.

I would have proposed the Habs, but they already played in the very first one against the Oilers.The Winter Classic is always going to have two American teams due to the fact that it's a special event for NBC, if the NHL was smart they would have a Canada only outdoor game for Hockey Day in Canada.I have a feeling next year will be the Rangers v Bruins at the New Yankee Stadium, and 2010 will be the Pens and Flyers at Beaver Stadium in State College. I don't see the NHL going outside of the Northeast/Mid-West for this game due to temperature for ice making, fan interest and conflicts with bowl games in places like Dallas, Phoenix, and LA.

scooter13 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I think we now know the reason why Ty Conklin signed with the Red Wings. He's trying to get the jump on everyone for participating in the most outdoor games.

Sport Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 It would be awesome if they did a faux-ivy look to dress up the outside of the boards. We all know the real ivy will be dead and you can't put in inside the rink for obvious reasons unless it's a board graphic. Ahh whatever. I just think of ivy when I think of wrigley. I wonder what the sightlines for hockey will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island_Style Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I am really digging this new trend by the NHL. I would love to see more than one game a year. Don't over do it but like 5 different sites would be cool. One every other weekend in jan/feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
