GDT: Game 55 : New York Rangers and New York Islanders playing in New Jersey, 3pm ET, (Game is on ABC and ESPN+)

[eco's bones]

Really turning something into some kind of extravaganza....there will always be an element of bullshit. It's not something to get really pissed about but as far as the hockey team what really matters is the win.....not whether the game is played outdoors that's just the NHL and its marketing ploys and if we don't play one of these things for the next 5 years it won't really be missed or at least not by me. The police and fire department shit I could care less.....though I prefer the fire department.

Not so much theme... But the execution.

If they ride in on little fire trucks/police car hot wheels or something... I'm there.

I mean if they are going with the NYPD/FDNY theme, might as well make the players wear those uniforms? It's part of the thingy.

Dear NHL: look into this whole sun thing and its effect on outdoor games

 

[Irishguy42]

The point of it is being outdoors.

Then they should deal with the wind/glare/etc and just play on-time.

So when are they going to play this thing at 8pm?

 

[kovazub94]

They lose this game, take 'em out to Pine Barrens, and don't you dare get them Roy Rodgers!

Bourbon, beer, burgers, sausages and chili - I’m well prepared!!! (This is my second outdoor game).

 

[will1066]

Will @will1066 be on the couch rink side with Emily all game like Bettman was last night?

I'm gonna make Bettman wear a Piles jersey and then I'm gonna pelt him with tomatoes

PK didn't even wait 15 seconds into the broadcast before saying something cringe.

Who could know the sun would be out during the day?

 

[BlueShirtGal]

Subban looks like a scary stuffed animal.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Ah yes, the ebbs and flows of the sun are such unpredictable cycles.

BUSH LEAGUE!!11

(goes back to sleep)

 

[LOFIN]

I was kinda hoping I could watch this game since the supposed start time is 10pm my time. But I guess not, if the puck drop is closer to 11pm. Got work tomorrow after all.

 

[turcotte8]

Can we not suck today? thanks

MetLife is such an ugly, POS stadium lol.

Incredible that they build this giant air conditioning unit with seats and then every stadium built since looks like a spaceship.

They should get rid of the outside games period.

 

[mti79]

Is Jones dressed? Just for warmups or its somebody out?

 

[Greg02]

They should get rid of the outside games period.

Come on, they're fun. We only play in one every few years.
