SwampD Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Anyone else hear this rumor? Pretty sure it's going to happen. Sorry, here's a link. https://www.sny.tv/rangers/news/could-the-rangers-be-in-the-winter-classic-at-citi-field-next-year/217319862 Edited February 28, 2017 by SwampD Quote

MattPie Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Anyone else hear this rumor? Pretty sure it's going to happen. Without a time frame, I'm sure it will. Eventually every team will play every other team in an outdoor game. It'll be a the second game of a triple header with the Bangkok One-nights playing the Tokyo Katanas in the early game, an orignal-30 matchup Sabres vs. Rangers in the middle and the Sydney Operas playing the Terra del Fuego Flames in the first outdoor game played in Antarctica.

darksabre Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 I'm bored with outdoor games. Let's play on the moon. Quote

WildCard Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Not happy it's not in Buffalo, and that it would cost us a home game, but it who cares. This is the best news we've gotten since late November Quote
darksabre Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 I'd like to see some cross league exhibition games or something. Have the championship teams in NHL/KHL play an exhibition in cool historic arena or something. Quote
SwampD Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Posted February 28, 2017 I'm bored with outdoor games. Let's play on the moon. I still like them. I just don't want to see a taped package where JR shows us frozen lakes and ponds and says outdoors is how we grew to love the game like that's where these guys played growing up. If they really want to hearken back to the players' youth, then the winter classic should be played at 3:30AM, in a rundown arena that smells like sweat and mildew where the puck and sticks get caught under the Zamboni door and all the shower handles are broken off.

WildCard Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Why is this good news? Why is it not? I love outdoor games, and I can go to this one. That will be 2 outdoor games for me next year, plus my first ever trip to NYC Quote
Randall Flagg Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Where did you hear this, Swamp? Quote

MattPie Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 I'm bored with outdoor games. Let's play on the moon. I almost put the "Luna Craters vs the Sea of Tranquility Rage" as the final game of my triple header. Quote
Rico7 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 I'm bored with outdoor games. Let's play on the moon. So sick of the flood of outdoor games. Then shine has worn off. Do one, maybe two a year, and call it a day. Quote
SwampD Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Posted February 28, 2017 Where did you hear this, Swamp? I have eyes everywhere, and ears everywhere else. Quote

Eleven Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 I have eyes everywhere, and ears everywhere else. Your poor wife. Quote

Definitely. And rather than the Kraft Hockeyville game being a preseason game, make it a regular season game that means something, with tickets given out to that town. I would watch this :lol: They all have to get driven to the rink by their parents in minivans... Right. Every NHLer has to stay with a host family, and the host families drive them in to the game. I have eyes everywhere, and ears everywhere else. ...picturing a really creepy Mr. Potato Head here.... :o Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Without a time frame, I'm sure it will. Eventually every team will play every other team in an outdoor game. It'll be a the second game of a triple header with the Bangkok One-nights playing the Tokyo Katanas in the early game, an orignal-30 matchup Sabres vs. Rangers in the middle and the Sydney Operas playing the Terra del Fuego Flames in the first outdoor game played in Antarctica. This is fantastic. Especially this part ... Quote
SabresBaltimore Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 The Winter Classic is/was a great idea. Adding in the Heritage Classic for 2 Canadian teams, fine. Stadium Series? Over-saturation. It's also BS if we'd have to be the Home team and play in NYC. I know we've held one here already, but as that article points out, it was 10 years ago now. How many Winter Classics/Stadium Series/etc have The Rangers played? Or the Penguins for that matter. Big Market teams get preference I guess, but Buffalo sold out instantly , and it's much better venue than a baseball park. Buffalo always have the best TV Ratings for Hockey games too. We deserve another game in Buffalo. Quote
