I "think" this will fix the situation. Let me know.

If not, let me know if there is a better way to post these or someone I could e-mail them to who can post them correctly.

PS - I can't complain since I live in Wrigleyville, but I still think this should have been an Islanders-Rangers game at Yankee Stadium. And no, I don't want to hear from Devils or Bruins fans. Yes, I respect your teams and those rivalries with the Rangers but NONE are NEARLY as intense as Islanders vs. Rangers.

I just checked and on my side, that seemed to work.

I kind of find it weird putting it in a baseball stadium in general.

Football stadiums make sense because the seating bowl is generally the same shape as a hockey rink, just with a larger playing surface, but in a baseball stadium... not nearly the same shape.

Here are some more pictures with a few of the logos...

Noticing that the players are wearing their "WWW" jerseys, I am wondering if that's going to be a permanent change to the Hawks jerseys. Does anyone know whether or not that patch is there to stay? (It may also be that these are the jerseys they had left over from last year - I know Hawk Quarters is still working on selling the 'o6's.)

Was there any reason given on why they didn't use Soldier Field?

Supposedly that was one of the suggestions, but the NHL felt that this was much more unique and MUCH more "Old Time Hockey." Can you imagine the NHL passing up "more money, and"more tickets sold" in favor of "a better idea?" I am sure the difference will be made up in the ticket prices though.

I can't wait to see how cold it is Jan 1! There will be pnumonia in the grandstands and sunburn in the bleachers!!!

The Bears could conceivably have a home game on 1/4 if they win the division and don't get a bye.

Those "Detroit" jerseys were only used one year in 1927-28. Whereas the ones they'll use for the Classic were used from '37'-'38 to '55-56 when Chicago changed to the current look. The next year the Wings changed to their current white jersey look. So you're talking 18 years of those jerseys together, that's detail that the other sports need to recognize and not just match up a throwback vs. a modern or the wrong era throwback. If you want more info on NHL uniforms and even WHA uniforms go to www.nhluniforms.com and there's a link to his WHA uniforms somewhere on the site.

Now it's only a matter of time before someone makes a joke involving "The Bears won't make it into the playoffs!".

^_^

You know, I rarely visit ccslsc anymore. I really should fix that.
