Oh man do we have to? Cant we just hide in the corner somewhere and let the Avs play themselves or something.

 

[Spikey]

I'll just watch the highlights.

 

[jetsforever]

Whoa, totally forgot this was a thing

Whoa, totally forgot this was a thing

probably better for you if you continue forgetting and watch something else

 

[Jixer19]

I am more excited by the location, and what kind of show they will put up, than the game itself. Mind you, the Avs do need the 2 points to keep up in the west, so they better win lol

Surely you jest? 3-0 Kings final score

I miss the times when outdoor games were cool and unique.

Avs win please. Big outdoor game with millions watching. Avs lay a massive egg.

 

[Telos]

Well, might as well make the most of it... I wish the jerseys were better. I love the F-16 they put out there on the field, they did a good job with the stadium.

 

[SealsFan4Life]

This will be a fun game.
I really like the Avs unis.
Kings....meh....the helmets look great.

havent seen them in action yet so i guess i can't judge yet.

Let me introduce you to the LA Kings...

 

[Ararana]

I don't understand the match up here at all. Not trying to be a dick to Kings fans at all but we're not division rivals, we don't have any recent memory rivalries.

I mean the theme of this thing is a bunch of jets, why are we not playing Winnipeg?

You’re asking us? We don’t get it either.

The Kings kits look freaky on the ice since there's no bottom line to the jersey, it's almost camo.

Also they have everything your typical beer league fight club has, chrome helmets, white gloves, if only Kopitar had the FULL mirror visor instead of smoke...

payback for the tunnel of terror at Frozen Fury in years past imo

but to the boldfaced, that would have been too good.

This sounds like an ignorant post, google the Air Force Academy. It's probably the prettiest location that has ever been for an outdoor game.

 

[jetsforever]

At least the setting is pretty nice with the jets and everything

Kings and Avs have had miltiple Frozen Fury matchups.

Could be a combination of experience/familiarity with special event games as well as the draw/turnout of fans at these functions.

Personally I don't like when things are that cutesy

"Let's have them play the Jets at the Air Force Academy, ooooh isn't THAT CLEVER" not really no

Color/jersey-wise this should be a visually appealing matchup and the location seems cool

 

[Channelcat]

yay exciting

Philip Anschutz has always had a significant influence in Colorado, particularly Colorado Springs. AEG (who owns the Kings) also owns the Broadmoor Hotel, along with the World Arena and more in the Springs.

That's going to make this game so exciting.

How is there no pregame show for this?

Probably because it’s not Canadian teams or covered by sports net or tsn
