Chicago was in another outdoor game :laugh:

Did NBC not realize the Hawks suck now?

I feel the Winter Classic should only be between Original 6 teams, they can have other outdoor games with the other 25 teams, but the Winter Classic should only be between the original 6 teams.

Nahhh. I really don't need to see the Rangers in another one of these. I would rather the Islanders get one at this point (though that is very likely to be a matchup in the next few seasons).

Colorado has to be the Stars' opponent for next year.

The whole theme of the Winter Classic is about the origin of the game being outdoors, not about the original 6 teams. Many places all across North America played hockey outdoors before there were indoor arenas and before the NHL existed. The original 6 don't have a monopoly on the history of hockey. What nonsense to say the Winter Classic should only be original 6 teams. There is literally no basis for that.

2021 Winter Classic should be Montreal Maroons vs. Seattle Metropolitans :sarcasm:

NHL hockey was never played outside, the only thing classic about this is................well, nothing. Not even the uniforms. Maybe take the family skating or ice fishing etc on New Years instead of watching some faux classic cash grab corporate bullshit.

Notre Dame seems like the perfect stadium design to have a Winter Classic.

Sightlines were surprisingly good. Better for the upper seats than the lower, where you almost lost 15-20 feet of ice behind the boards.

For as much as everybody criticizes how they're overdone, it's definitely still an experience to attend. And when you're a gate-driven league, it makes sense why they do multiple games a year.

So no word on the Bobby Orr situation?

He wasn't there, wasn't at the Rick Middleton Jersey Retirement.

They didn't even mention his name. Anyone know if he's alright?
