NHL to make a final decision about outside game tomorrow by 1:30 pm

[hockeykicker]

Honestly they should just reschedule it. So many trees down and power outages. Supposed to he 40 mph gusts at puck drop

i think playing in high wind would be quite the site.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Leafs won't be able to see each other in all white. Crazy ass winds.

I would enjoy seeing this game...until a strong gust carries Mitch Marner off and he's never seen again

The sooner they put an end to this outdoor garbage the better.

hopefully this is a nail in the outdoor game coffin. they were a cool idea but it got way overdone

Well we already know there will be two of them next year. One at West Point and one at the Air Force

So Colorado will be home for one and then one of isles/Devils/Rangers will be home for the other

First time either side will be on the outside ice will be pregame warmups

I'd bet my life it'll be the Rangers. Isles don't get outdoor games.

Reschedule it for when exactly?

GARY BETTMAN SUCKS ..WEASELS ARE US .COM

Reschedule it for when exactly?

Sunday?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Will the game be played at Capital One Arena that same night if the weather isn't good?

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Totally forgot there was even anymore outdoor games this season.

Explains the odd Saturday start times for some games.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Is this game even sold out?

 

[SR]

Lost it’s luster in what seems two years after the first one.

I don’t watch em anyway.

I'm guessing the regular indoor arena the Caps play in is already booked for another event?

 

[NextYear67]

Here's to hoping mother nature throws us a bone

I didn't even know there this one.

Same here. In fact I wasnt even aware of the winter classic. What a shitty gimmick.

How awful is it to watch a game on tv that the camera is about a mile away from the ice and you have to listen to that dick head doc emrick. No thanks.

 

[Spartachat]

I might watch the game if there are hurricane level winds... If not, yawn.

Nah there's nothing at capital one center. Problem is, majority of tickets are for active/retired military and naval academy students. And the rest are paid fans. Who loses out if it moves back inside? The military or the fans

 

[hockeykicker]

Is this game even sold out?

Yes. This is a game for the military at naval academy. Next year there is one at West Point and the Air Force

 

[hockeykicker]

Very unlikely, the NHL will wanna play it outside for the military

Would they then play indoors, if weather is bad?
