FLYNNSanity Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Vs. Rangers in NYC (Citi Field) per WGR. Edited March 15, 2017 by FLYNNSanity Quote
MattPie Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Vs rangers in NYC per WGR. This will be the year we don't match up well against the Rangers. Quote
Claude Balls Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Wonder if we'll be out of the playoff hunt by then. Quote
FLYNNSanity Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Posted March 15, 2017 It's a little strange that it is the day after USA vs Canada outdoors in Buffalo though. Why not just have the game in Buffalo? Quote
WildCard Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Wonder if we'll be out of the playoff hunt by then. Depends on the coach When do tickets usually go on sale for these things? Quote
ubkev Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Seriously? Sh!tti field? Get , winter classic, my ass! Quote
Claude Balls Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Depends on the coach My thoughts exactly. Was gonna say if it's still DB, then it will most likely be another meaningless game. Quote
darksabre Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Why do they insist on doing this stuff in places where it rains more than it snows during the winter? Quote
Stoner Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Why do they insist on doing this stuff in places where it rains more than it snows during the winter? FIFY. Quote
darksabre Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Also, there's no way in hell I'm booking a hotel in NYC on New Years. Quote
inkman Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Why do they insist on doing this stuff in places where it rains more than it snows during the winter? Because NHL Quote
pi2000 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 It's a little strange that it is the day after USA vs Canada outdoors in Buffalo though. Why not just have the game in Buffalo? I was thinking the same thing. If you're going to bother doing all the work to setup an outdoor venue at New Era Field, why not use it for an NHL game too? Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 I was thinking the same thing. If you're going to bother doing all the work to setup an outdoor venue at New Era Field, why not use it for an NHL game too? Because it was NYC's turn to *host* a game I guess. Quote
I-90 W Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 Man am I pumped for this. The first one was the best one vs the pens (minus Crosby beating Miller). Hope it snows again! Will be looking on stubhub for tickets. Quote
Andrew Amerk Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 Also, there's no way in hell I'm booking a hotel in NYC on New Years. Right. Quote
Tom Backyard Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 http://buffalonews.com/2017/03/15/sabres-intrigued-reported-winter-classic-matchup-rangers/ It seems that the WJC outdoor game is actually a hindrance to Winter Classic being played in Buffalo. It's not believed that the facility can turnover to host two 70,000 plus people events in such a short window. Quote
WildCard Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 I'm going to this. Trying to get a group together for that weekend in NYC Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 http://buffalonews.com/2017/03/15/sabres-intrigued-reported-winter-classic-matchup-rangers/ It seems that the WJC outdoor game is actually a hindrance to Winter Classic being played in Buffalo. It's not believed that the facility can turnover to host two 70,000 plus people events in such a short window. Maybe not for the Rangers. But imagine Sabres-Leafs on the heels of US-Canada? It'd sell. Easy. Quote
GoPre Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I just think it's great the Sabres will be in the Winter Classic a second time. May seem pointless to some hockey fans, but many would enjoy having their team in the game. For the Sabres to have their second appearance is very exciting. Place of play isn't going to have an effect on me. Edited March 16, 2017 by GoPre Quote
Trettioåtta Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 I'm trying to work out if I can get to this. See how willing my wife is for a trip across the Atlantic... Quote

WildCard Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 Totally agree. And a great chance for Jack to play on national TV. He usually puts on a show on national tv too Quote
Claude Balls Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 Maybe not for the Rangers. But imagine Sabres-Leafs on the heels of US-Canada? It'd sell. Easy. Exactly. Lets the Rags play the Island at Citi Field. All these Winter Classic games should be rivalry games. Although NY vs. NY isn't as big as it used to be. Quote
