Now the real question is, what the shit do they do if we are getting snow that day?
Put a plow on the zamboni?

I think they should play the leafs on that game, this way the stadium would probably fill up.

Yeah definitely.
i think its gonna fill either way since its gonna be such a rare event, you’re gonna have hockey fans from everywhere coming to see it. If it was anything like the last time they did this they will have a legends game before and gretzky will draw a crowd easily.

pittsburgh is only 3 hours. id drive to pitt to see it. and ill bet people from all over canada and the eastern US would come to see it just based on the rarity
Too bad we’re gonna suck next year. 
:putsonflamesuit:
It will be driven by the Networks which want the biggest start in the game to play to get ratings so it will be Mr. 9 Mil a Season Side the Kid Crosby and the Guins.

They basically build a rink on the field. I’m guessing they could put the coolant lines under the ice if needed.

montreal did it for a game two years ago…was possibly the coolest fucking idea i ever saw
take from mystery alaska sure, but still awesome :tspry:
shanny back with the rangers as of today…that puts them at a payroll of ~25 million for 4 players now with lundqvist about to get 4-5 through arbitration…30 million on 5 players…yeah…
i love the idea and i think bettman had (lifted) the idea from watching mystery alaska the day before. Id definately attend
Fans were talking about this in the beginning of the season, and I was hoping for a Toronto vs. Buffalo match, but a Pitts/Buff showdown would be pretty awesome too.
Do season ticket holders get first dibs on seating?
im kind of curious what happens when we get our january warm up hits… or its raining, or snowing extremely hard…
hockey in the rain… seems a little weird
oh oh ohhh, mom joke!
well, it made me think of:
It means a whale’s vagina!
Schedule is out!
Won’t know about the outdoor game until later in the summer.

Lack of diversity on who we play…
No Vancouver, Edmonton, or Calgary.

I actually love the schedule against the western conference. Anaheim, San Jose, Dallas, Nashville, Detroit, and when was the last time the Sabres played Chicago? 05-06 season? I can’t remember.
Much, much better than last year’s. I’m also loving the back to backs against Philly.
Eh, I hate that we play the western so little. I love the WC play, and we rarely play up against it.
