Winter Classic in Miami 1-2-26

Post by Uncle John »

NY Rangers vs. Florida Panthers in Miami tonight at 7:00pm central time on TNT / TRUTV

I read they put a roof over the Miami Dolphins football stadium to keep the ice from melting.

Neither jersey looks great.

On the other hand, there’s something humorous about setting a record attendance at a baseball stadium in Miami

Methinks the NHL has forgotten what makes the Winter Classic special. Another good think ruined by corporate sports idiots.

To an old guy like me, it's a bit like Woodstock. The record industry drove the outdoor mega-concert into the ground trying to recreate the magic of Woodstock. The NHL has done the same to outdoor hockey trying to recreate the magic of that Sid Crosby snow globe in Buffalo in 2008

Outdoor NHL hockey in Florida on Jan. 2. Holy jumping!

I'm old, but I think it's freaking remarkable — and love it.

I've grown to hate these Winter Classic games. The outdoor stadium thing just does not translate to the rink.

meh.. think it's the league trying to grow the sport in weaker markets.

don't think that's wrong, but think the issue is they need to pick better cities to put teams in

I get the need to showcase the back to back Cup champs ... but this isn't it.

Too forced.

I expected Bettman to enlist James Cameron's sfx team so that we could see fake "cold breath" from the players and coaches - just like in "Titanic".

I agree. Us hosting one was as dumb as any of these. It freaking rained and nobody cared. Why put it in a place that doesn't snow? It should be limited to northern cities only.

Detroit
Columbus
Minnesota
any Canadian city
The Northeast/New England

Places where hockey belongs
