GDT: NHL Outdoors | Colorado Vs Vegas | 2/20/21 3ET | NBC, SN, SN1, TVAS

Poor period by Vegas so far.

Yeah I'll agree this time. Execution is off everywhere. If their best shift of the period came from the fourth line, that's a problem.

 

[Crosstraffic]

A feature on Reaves in the intermission? Oh man I am going to tune in for that! How about featuring a player that isn't a goon?

 

[Ezekial]

Cool scene. Can see some snowy mountaintops in the background of ice level replays.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Best outdoor setting game I've seen

A+ job by NHL on this one

 

[Go19]

That one spot just off center ice is like the Bermuda Triangle

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Sarcasm?

Nope. The Nordiques logo is disgusting.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Didnt even know Nevada has snow like that, im stupid.

edit: northern nevada, but still. when i think of nevada i think of vegas and heat

Edit duly noted, Lake Tahoe is almost as far geographically north as Kansas City, and Kansas City has had some real snowstorms over the years.

I am getting an nhl hitz vibe. They have cool locations in that game.

The minor benefit of not having to accommodate fans.

same. The glare and the very contrasting shadows are a little distracting. I almost think they should switch ends for half of the first period, like they’ve done in the past in the third period due to wind.

Why? Play one full period each direction the first 2 periods, then switch in the middle of the 3rd to keep the directions/wind even. If wind shifting during a period is a concern best not play outside to begin with!

You can see snow on the mountains (specifically Mount Charleston) from the Vegas valley every winter. It just doesn't snow in the city as often (usually once a year) but it did this year. More of it in the Northwest but at least a little all over the city.

Probably has to do with black history month...

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Grubauer is a jabroni for not letting Vegas score tbh.

Some good pictures of some serious lake tahoe snow on google.

 

[GoCaps2004]

This is something they've gotta keep. It is gorgeous and camera angles aren't shit like in big stadiums.

not for the wind, but change sides due to the glare. It’s likely to change a little bit so they should even it up while they can. Or maybe they’re expecting the entire second period to be just as bright, i have no idea

 

[bustamente]

Great location, fantastic scenery but the ice is in piss poor shape

Agree to disagree. The way it's being done is the fairest way possible imo. Cheers.
Splitting a period exactly in 2 without disrupting the flow of the game with a possibly unnecessary whistle is also not great.

 

[CalderSchmalder]

Bellemare sounded so disappointed.

 

[max21]

Fook Vegas and fook the maywedders

 

[KCbus]

Apparently, the great scenery doesn't improve the ice surface.

 

[LeHab]

Apparently, the great scenery doesn't improve the ice surface.

The great scenery is there so that you don't look on ice surface.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

They put this on a Golf Course but it looks like they put this on a football field. I can see the yard line markers with all the dark spots.

 

[Ezekial]

These refs are dumb as rocks.

 

[HanSolo]

Lol the f***? Colorado gets clear icing negated. Then Vegas wins the puck race and it's icing?
