IceCap Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Aren't the Coyotes changing their name to the Arizona Coyotes? I suspect that will lead to the team modifying their PHX alternate logo to read ARZ or AZA.

Morgan33 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Heard the Blues were looking into new uniforms and that the ducks were going to make the alternate the full time home with a matching white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I had heard that Ducks rumour, but the Blues one is news to me. Hopefully it's a return to the pre-Edge set. That was a modern classic. I know that's a term that gets thrown around a lot, but I mean it here. It was a near perfect hockey uniform.

Not sure I like the red stripe on the pads. They didn't do that in the old days, right?Will Howard be good to go for Jan. 1? Otherwise I see Gus shutting out the Leafs 5-0 or something.

IceCap Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hopefully that change, whenever it happens, will also lead to them throwing the hem stripes back on.

Nordiks_19 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 The Ducks rumor was practically confirmed a few days ago. But i never heard about the Blues but it's about time they do ! Let's just hope Colorado and Calgary will do so(in the same time than St-Louis would be really nice) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I see Gus shutting out the Leafs 5-0 or something.I swear I've seen something like that from the days when they first started coloring pads. A kind of test run, would it work? would it be accepted? That era when the side panels of pads could be in weird colors but the fronts were still brown leather.I'm going to have to dig through some old NHL history books to see if I can find a photo of that though. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back through my resources, it seems like Billy Smith was the only one using colored pads in the early 80s, one or two adopters in the late 80s, and then suddenly everybody had them. In 1980, colored pads were a real rarity. In 1990, brown leather pads were a real rarity. What happened? and that quickly? I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

BBTV Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Im baffled that this post lacks a squid, octopus, or tentacle reference.That's the magic of The Giant Pacific Octopus. He doesn't have to remind you in every post that he's an octopus. IceCap doesn't say he's Jewish in every post. In each respective case, it's just something that comes up when it's germane to the conversation that he, a mere participant among many in this message board community, is having.FWIW, tGPO is my early favorite to win the Creamy for Poster of the Year in 2014.

I think it was the night we had the big communal Glendale City Council liveblog, so we were all running a little hot. EDIT: I take it back, Tank referring to Paula Abdul as "Paul Abdulk" is the hardest I laughed all year: ARE YOU KIDDING ME Sir Mix-A-LOt and no KISS!!!

I thought the Winter Classic was in Ann Arbor.The Winter Classic is in Ann Arbor but Comerica is hosting some games as well including an AHL game, 2 OHL games and, NCAA games (not sure how many). If I'm not mistaken (which I could be) they are also playing an NHL alumni game there and the wings and leafs each get a practice there to get used to playing outdoors GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yea they've had the ice in at Comerica for about 2 weeks now.The Wings had an open and free practice there on Tuesday.All junior and alumni games are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
