IceCap Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I really think that pro leagues like the NHL should adopt the contrasting colours rule for uniforms when it works - it just looks better to have both teams wear their full colours.While this game looks great I would prefer it if the Leafs wore white as often as possible.

dbadefense1990 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 So after watching the Rose Parade (with my mom insisting on watching it again), I finally get to see the NHL's incarnation of the Bloods and Crips the Winter Classic game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want color vs. color so long as it doesn't clash, great. I'm all for it.But some teams do look better in white regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It's really too bad that it's just not feasible to play more than just a small handful of games outdoors (and even then, the handful is stretching things a bit thin) because I wish that more games could be like this. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 to me, less is more when it comes to these outdoor hockey games. Not wild about the NHL's decision to add more outdoor games. Honestly I think it should have stayed at one game in the US (New Years Day) and one game in Canada. However I do realize the NHL would be foolish not to take advantage of the popularity of outdoor games. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I fully support the idea of Blackhawks-Blues in South Bend in 2016.

FiddySicks Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm sorry, but there is NOTHING that looks fun about this Maple Leafs Red Wings game. Everyone in that building looks downright miserable. As fun as it is to watch on TV, I couldn't imagine actually attending a game like this.

zpqmaowl Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If you're having a bad day, remember that John-Michael Liles participated in the pregame skate before the Winter Classic and was traded to Carolina before the game. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it's gonna be one cold-ass day in hell when I root for a team that has Brown, Backes, Kesler, Shattenkirk, Oshie, Suter, and fatface Kessel. Go Canada.

dbadefense1990 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Kind of seems fruity to announce the USMNT roster after the game is over and fans begin to leave.Really?The term is ambiguous. For this context, it has the same synonym meaning as "weird," "odd," "bizarre" and "questionable." Didn't mean to open up a whole PC-hellgate on here.

Kramerica Industries Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The U.S. really did craft an excellent roster. Besides, who needs Bobby Ryan or Ben Bishop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 How the hell do Blake Wheeler and TJ Oshie get wing spots over Bobby Ryan on the US Olympic roster? Hell, he has more than double the goals and assists that even Dustin Brown has. I don't get how he missed the cut. If it's some argument over the effectiveness on the Olympic sized ice, Bobby has always been more of an outside/space player. He'd probably be a hell of a lot more useful on the big sheet than Wheeler, Oshie, or Brown.Whatever. Congrats to Cam Fowler for making it. I have no doubts he'll thrive in Sochi.---Amazing Winter Classic. Loved all the visuals. Stadium, snow, jerseys, crowd. The snow made it a little sloppy, but eh, that's the fun of this thing. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It's very good, but not without its poor decisions. Dustin Brown with his 13 points in 40 games had no business whatsoever on this roster. All he's ever done is get his dick sucked for being American; he's the Shane Doan/Eric Staal of the Stars and Stripes. Justin Faulk is only considered elite because he plays for a franchise that can't develop defensemen worth a crap. David Backes is Bryan Bickell with a C on his sweater and having been born in the right country. Canada doesn't have a weakness anywhere but goal, and they're so strong otherwise that all they need is for Price to be good enough. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
