Can anyone comment on the regular "Breakaway" jerseys vs the Authentic ones? Hows the quality of the regular Jersey and is the authentic worth $50 extra?

the Fanatics jerseys look and feel way cheaper than the Adidas. almost like a Chinese knockoff. Logo and numbers were bubbly from a bad heatpress, material felt... off. Definitely recommend getting the Adidas

Anyone looking for a place to stay for the Winter Classic?

I've got a group of 4 (possibly 6) guys heading from Boston out to South Bend for the Winter Classic. We originally had a larger group going but some guys had to cancel.

I rented an Airbnb house for 2 nights (12/31 & 1/1) less than a mile from ND Stadium that has 11 beds. All in cost for the two nights is $1,139. We're looking for around 4 more people to help split the cost.

If you're interested shoot me a message and we can go over the details. I'd be happy to meet up in the Boston area over a beer to make sure we're all happy with the plan. I also have a couple extra tickets if you need them.

Cheers!

The WC jerseys again are brutal.

Don’t care one iota about the history....


Brown should never be associated with the Bruins!

Found out that the Northwest Indiana Commuter Rail WILL NOT be running an extra train from Chicago on January 1st and they will just run the one train that arrives in South Bend at 12:10 PM - Neither the NHL or the Blackhawks would cover any shortfall for the railroad on a holiday.

Some pretty nice stuff in here, and of course it's for a great cause. I ended up buying the Gold Level Bag. Didn't get the jersey, but my mini retirement banner is signed by Middleton and my puck is signed by Ray Bourque, so that was pretty sweet

The NHL has been following the Bruins since Thanksgiving for a possible 'Road to the Winter Classic' on NBCSN but it still isn't official as the NHL fears promoting 2 bad teams will not help ratings.

How do you promote this game to the hardcores let alone the casual fan?

This is absolute nonsense. Lets see .. Hawks where a dynasty a few years ago and the Bruins have an amazing history and is competing in the best sports market in the world . LOL Sure no stories there.

Get more people that know the sport and its history to promote it. Looks to me most of the NBCSN company chase one sport from the other.

One night work a hockey game the next night go to bull riding competition.

If it doesn't air in the US then I can make copies on discs and send them out to whoever here wants one. Since there are only 3 episodes this year it will all fit onto one disc. It's an easy way to do my Christmas good deed this year. :thumbu:

EDIT: Should have read Fenway's post before I posted. Carry on. :ha:
