It does kinda put a damper on it. But then again, the Buffalo Sabres......trying to contain my excitement here. Of all the years to do it, the NHL picks one where we are almost assured to be bad?
This will be Kaprizov's coming out party for the rest of the League and fans.
Who knows? Maybe we tank, the team gets the 1st overall pick and we have Lafreniere and Kaprizov
I'm going to faint when my son gets me tickets for Christmas. LolI could see it. I don't see why they would give a, at ceiling, mediocre team the Winter Classic unless they have assurances we'll either be exciting or pull in some way. Finally, a possible conspiracy working in favour of Minnesota, I may faint.
They postponed it one year. That was already announced.Does anyone think Minnesota may not get a Winter Classic as they postponed it and then didn't name them as hosts for 2022?
You would think the league would want it on ABC. New Years wouldn't work because of the bowl games. But why not move the date. There is a weekend in between Conference Finals and the Super Bowl.
I like this idea, However I think the NHL probably thinks they are more important that college football. Which they are not.You would think the league would want it on ABC. New Years wouldn't work because of the bowl games. But why not move the date. There is a weekend in between Conference Finals and the Super Bowl.

The NHL isn't giving up new year's day. They play the game so early as to compete with the new year's day parades before the big college football games begin. That said, ABC is going to be showing parade coverage instead that relates to the game they're going to show.You would think the league would want it on ABC.

Confirmed that it's still Wild and Blues on 1/1/22.
