drdougfresh Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 That's why I'm surprised Toronto is involved. Canadian TV doesn't register in American ratings and there's a different broadcast north of the border, so those eyeballs don't matter to NBC, which drives the event.This operates under the false premise that not one single person living in the U.S. likes the Maple Leafs. If anything, I bet this one will have the highest ratings ever for one of these, and even when it will, we'll still have a bunch of stupid betwetters saying "those ratings were all from Detroit, just imagine how much higher they'd be if the SHARKS were contributing to them!"To add to this, how many NHL cities could sell out 115,000+ tickets for a single game? I bet not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this proves to be true, I will try to get tickets. To me, the NYD game day is a bigger issue. 90% of the country is enjoying college football. Why not choose another day and have the whole day to yourself?? But, this coming year, my beloved Buckeyes wont be playing on NYD, or any other bowl date, so if the Leafs are in the WC and its 3 short hrs away in Det/ AA, I will be there.Go Leafs Go!!

ksupilot Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be disappointed and vintage white will be prevalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be disappointed and vintage white will be prevalent.I don't think so. The Red Wings aren't one to sacrifice their brand in the name of cashing in on a trend, and the Maple Leafs resisted going with vintage white for their 1967 throwbacks/alternates for this season.

Cody21 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 okay, sop everyone is just thinking about the wings and leafs..... how about the other rumour going around? BLUES and KINGS. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK BOUT THAT NOW?????????? In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life.Ah, the "I'm kidding" - the universal internet excuse for saying something that others perceived as dumb.

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 January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 okay, sop everyone is just thinking about the wings and leafs..... how about the other rumour going around? BLUES and KINGS. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK BOUT THAT NOW??????????Sop? Are you finished dunking your donuts? Blues and Kings? Not going to happen... EVER!!! There is absolutely no interest in that. Yeah, St. Louis is on a nice little run here with Hitchcock, but that will fade pretty soon and they will be also rans. If pairing the Kings up with teams, you'd first start with the Ducks or the Sharks. The next logical choices would be the Rangers and then the Oilers and Canucks. If you said, "St. Louis-Chicago, St. Louis-Detroit" I could see that. The thing is there is no other rumor going around. There's one rumor/fact going around and it's Detroit-Toronto and should be wrapped up with an announcement pretty soon (All-Star Game).

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 ^ I don't know dude. I think if and when St. Louis gets it there's a strong possibility of it. I'm kinda just basing my logic off the age of teams. All of the original six have been involved (assuming the Leafs are indeed playing in 2013); of the expansion 6 that are still playing in their original cities, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have played. That leaves St. Louis and L.A. But you do have a point. It all depends on household names. If the Blues can keep this up and go on a nice little tear, I think they'll have enough national exposure to make a case. St. Louis-Chicago would be nice, maybe leave the Kings for when Colorado hosts.I'd also like to see Minnesota host Dallas at some point as well.I think it's inevitable that when it comes back to the East Coast, it'll be played at Yankee Stadium. Washington is also in line.Regardless, that video is classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 look at the facts in the video.No thanks, I have to use my brain at work today.neither team has won a cup.This is not a "plus".wayne gretzky played for both teams.Sixteen years ago, never won anything for either team, and he couldn't even be bothered to suit up for the Rangers in the most recent alumni game.the cardinals just won the world series.Well, that's certainly good for hockey. Wait, what?well it would be a cool game.Whether you're aware of it or not, this is your entire argument.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 ^ Lol.Alumni game would be ok, though. Kurri, Robitaille, McSorley, Marcel Dionne, Dave Taylor, Kelly Hrudey, Rob Blake, Bernie Nicholls, Butch Goring and even Rogie Vachon (Hey, if Bernie Parent can play)vsHull, Brian Sutter, Bernie Federko, MacInnis, Doug Gilmour, Grant Fuhr, Tkachuk, Doug Weight, Wayne Babich, Adam Oates, Pierre Turgeon- and of course- Roman Turek.I could even see some stunt like Gretzky coming out as a King for the second period, and then switching to a Blues ini for the third. I would watch this just simply to see the Blues in their gorgeous 70's unis instead of the double-blue piping-crazy crap they currently wear.

Morgan33 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I would like to see a Blues/Kings game if for no other reason than to see some new designs. Detroit is a great market but they were JUST in a Winter Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
