Lee. Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 This never would have happened had they booked Jets-Wild for CanadInns Stadium! *shakes fist*The league has a window to start the game as late as 8pm Eastern (any later and they interfere with the live broadcast of SNL, so 8 is the drop-dead time), and if they can't drop the puck on Saturday, then they go at noon Sunday.Any later than that and they move the game to Ford Field. /sarcasm Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

oddball Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 The coverage of the Winter Classic is becoming Super Bowl annoying. I'm already sick of hearing about it and the freaking weather. When all is said and done, it's just another two point game. It means nothing more than the Coyotes-Preds during the season. If you want to have it, great, but stop with the friggin' 24/7 hype. It's not like it hasn't been done before and in a football stadium... oh freakin' joy, a hockey game in a football stadium... again. Get the game out of these football and baseball stadiums and put it somewhere original and unique. Central Park in NYC, that'd be cool. Any stadium from now on is just a repeat of what we've seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Winter Classic is the one event of the year where non hockey people watch hockey. Newsflash dip, most people who will watch the WC are unintelligent when it comes to hockey so you have to discuss it in a manner that makes sense for them. If you don't like it, then don't watch the pregame show. I never watch pregame shows, hell during CBJ games I never watch intermission reports. Also, you have to have it in a stadium so you can sell the $500 tickets for the nosebleeds. And the 24/7 show on HBO is utter brilliance in that it's packaging hockey in its coolest form. So far, it seems to have worked. People who don't talk hockey (like that artard Bill Simmons) have discussed the show at length. It's brought in a new audience who have the potential to become hooked fans. Also, I know three people who got into hockey because of the "Broadstreet Bullies" documentary. The NHL is finally showing some marketing IQ and dufuses like yourself will drive away new fans if everyone approached this with the same attitude towards new programming as you do. I'll gladly give up oddball as a hockey fan if it means that more people like the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I hate pregame shows, too. You know what I do? I don't watch them.Turn the game on (whenever it ends up happening) and it won't matter that you didn't watch them either. But those shows existing means that more people might watch the Winter Classic, which means that more people might stick around and watch games after that.It's necessary to bring in new fans and some existing fans like it, too. It's not for you. It's not for me. Good thing we have the choice of watching something else.
