Edwin McCain isn’t doing anything lately. Pretty sure I saw him at a Charleston Harris Teeter making a salad.

Add in G. Yamazawa and J. Cole to that and you could be on to something. Yamazawa alone would blow some minds - a Japanese-American rapping about being Bull City born and bred and cornbread fed and about Carolina barbeque with slaw?

The reaction here at HFBoards will be what is always is, something like "LMAO this guys washed up he hasn't been relevant in 15 years lol NHL can't get big name acts".

Yet when they do get Dan and Shay to do the Winter Classic in Dallas (not my favorite but they're relevant) it's "OMG why aren't they getting Pantera? NHL is so behind the times!".

Pens fan here. Local media seems to think it will be the Pens due to JR connection. Seems kinda feeble to me.

Went to game at Heinz Field. Fun experience. Seats towards top of lower bowl. Watched a lot of the game on the jumbotron.

No offense, I don't want a traditional market in this game. We have established our brand over the last couple years as bucking the trends laid before, and I hope this event continues that mindset. Give us another non-traditional market so we can feature two new franchises to show that the league doesn't have to include one of the same 5 or 6 teams to be good. Which, given the fact that the better players on Chicago, Washington, Pitt, etc are all about to age out and the league will need a new generation to carry the torch in the lead future, isn't a bad opportunity to start showcasing new teams just in case.

Given that the numbers for the Colorado game apparently were not good I fully expect NBC to strong arm Pitt, Philly or the Rangers into this game.

With all due respect, f*** that

Oh I agree wholeheartedly, I have no freaking desire to see any of those teams in this thing. Bring on the non-traditional markets!

 

[Svechhammer]

Given everything going on with COVID-19 right now, and Brian Burke going on the radio saying there's a growing belief in the league we won't see another game until 2021, I wonder if we'll eventually see this game delayed a year as well?

NHL's Steve Mayer addresses all uncertainties - including Canes' 2021 outdoor game - WRAL/ADAM GOLD SHOW

With the hockey season up in the air as of now, NHL Chief Content Officer Steve Mayer could understandably be cagey about who the Hurricanes' opponent will be in their 2021 outdoor game at Carter-Finley Stadium on February 20.

"We're on a pause, obviously, and I'll use that as an excuse," Mayer said when he joined The Adam Gold Show on Thursday and Gold jokingly pressed him on the topic. "Listen, there's so much there's up in the air and the opponent for next year's game in Carolina is also one of those things that's still up in the air."

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Up in the air??

Flyers or Jets, I guess. Maybe Lightning.

Clearly Arizona

I was at the first regular season Coyotes game (it was in Hartford).

Who took the first penalty in team history?

Tkachuk?

edit: nope, just looked it up, that's pretty f***ing impressive honestly

Only reason I remember it. No idea who scored the first goal, although it may have been a shutout now that I think about it.

I had no idea the Bulin wall played for Phoenix. Way before my time.

Their first goal was their next game (against Boston, so f***’em) by Mike Gartner en route to a hat trick. Our old friend Oleg Tverdovsky also scored for the Coyotes that game.

 

[HisIceness]

Forget the outdoor game, imagine the hilarity on the main board and especially on reddit and twitter of a Hurricanes/Coyotes Stanley Cup Final. Lets make it happen.

 

[Svechhammer]

With the Global Series just postponed for this year, have to expect things like the All-Star Game, Winter Classic, and Stadium Series will be next

 

[Svechhammer]

I get the feeling this is just delaying the inevitable

If it gets delayed, it sucks, but the NHL is pretty good about making these things up for teams usually. It's better to make sure we get the full experience than get it this year if you can't get the full experience.

 

[HisIceness]

Sorry to quote John Fox here, but it is what it is. We'll get it eventually even if it can't happen next year.

Would suck though if Feb 21st was perfect weather for it and our make-up date it rains or is warmer than average or whatever. Of course that would suck under normal conditions too, but you get the gist.

 

[Novacane]

Thankfully the game has been postponed. Fingers crossed for 2022/3

 

[A Star is Burns]

I too was quite happy to see it finally officially postponed. It's the right decision to make sure we get the event we deserve and have waited for. Hopefully, the NHL makes good on it sooner rather than later. They're usually pretty good about making up events that were promised.
