Rumor: Rangers at Citi Field for 2018 Winter Classic

[Bob Richards]

Probably my favorite moment.

Didn't Woywitka's card get picked up in roulette? Haha.

It did along with Lundqvist.

Someone here posted in a 24/7 GDT that on top of carrying the team, Hank "had to feed them too".

So it will be a Buffalo home game, at Citi Field in NYC? Riigggghhht......... Why not Have it at the Bills stadium then?

Football season is still on

Thoroughly enjoying that this is pissing off Islander fans. Maybe if you didn't continually put the NHL in a bad spot with your arena situation, they'd think about having you host the Winter Classic against the Rangers. Outside of the Rangers being in the game, this is the next best reason why.

LOL! That thought didn't even cross my mind! Duh!

 

[DudMan28]

LOL! That thought didn't even cross my mind! Duh!

To be fair, the Bills season is usually over by mid-November.

Honest mistake.

 

[Leonardo87]

Really excited for this one! I will def be going. Hopefully tickets are not too crazy expensive.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

LOL! That thought didn't even cross my mind! Duh!

And since it's a Monday, it is nearly impossible to host the game 24 hours after the end of a football game.

Curious what our jerseys will look like. I have a Hank jersey from the last winter classic. Might have to go Miller, Kreider or Buch for this one.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Toronto is 2 hours away from Buffalo by car. NYC is over 6.

2 hours is slow

Time to start making jersey concepts if confirmed

 

[aufheben]

So this is a Sabres home game?

I mean...they both play in New York.

Just ask the NFL to give the bills that week as a bye week, or give the bills a thursday game

There are no byes or Thursday night games in week 16 and 17

No, but they could play on the road the last 2 weeks of the season. However, does it really matter that the Sabres are the home team?

 

[Machinehead]

Pumped for this one. I'll be able to make it for once.

Dude let's do it

I have the 24/7 on blueray. It is such a great thing to watch even 5 years later.

Doesn't matter to me. But maybe they can agree with Buffalo to let us play in dark jerseys? That's all I want from the Winter Classic

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Dude let's do it

What about me?

 

[nyrmetros]

I imagine tickets will be very $$.... again how well will Buffalo supporters travel ??

Probably as well as you can expect for coming to a city where the Rangers eclipse every team in the area in the NHL save Philly. The Sabre fans will come

 

[Machinehead]

What about me?

You're invited too, don't be mamaluke.

Well, as a Rangers subscriber, a Sabres home game means I buy 42 regular-season games instead of 41. And I am certain I will not be charged the Garden price at Citi.

No but I bet your $300 ticket will come with a free hat.

How about a bowl of soup, too?

 

[sabremike]

Reason the game can't be played at the Ralph is because the US-Canada WJC game will be played there a day or two before and there wouldn't be enough time to set it up for the Winter Classic.
