CheatorBeat Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Didn't see a thread, so I figured I would make one. I don't know about you folks, but I find the Winter Classic to be far more compelling than most of the Bowl Game today. Watching hockey outdoors from Wrigley is just cool, although I don't think it will be snowing this year like it did last year. Of course I would be remiss if I didn't toss out a sexy link for you fellas. Check out the Chicago Blackhawks Ice Crew, who are sure to be warming things up at Wrigley today : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinstzar Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 It's official Caps v Pens Jan 1, 2011 at Heinz Field I spoke to Ted and Caps season ticket holders will have access to tickets Priceline.com still has fairly reasonable prices for the Hilton which as far as I can tell is the closest hotel.

rincewind Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I understand it's a rivalry and all... but the Pens already had a Winter Classic. I think they should spread the love a little. Why not put the Leafs in it. Also... looks like there will be a 2nd outdoor game next Feb. 20th. Calgary vs. Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Wonder if Bettman will let Crosby wear his satin scarf to prevent him from getting a cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEavyJumbo85 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I really don't care for the Winter Classic, at least not the way it's currently set up. It's going to get stale really really quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Kaos Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 DC to host the Winter Classic in 2012(ish) http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sports/Bettman-says-D_C_-will-host-Winter-Classic-95150324.html I heard it reported on NBC4 this evening. Not sure of the venue yet but FedEx and Nats Stadium are the supposed front runners. The reporter suggested setting up bleachers and building a temporary ice rink on the National Mall. I really like that idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostic Hog Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 also, all losers. Philly not for sure yet, but it's looking that way. Seriously? "Philly not for sure yet, but it's looking that way"?? They haven't even played one game. The way I see it, it's 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostic Hog Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 National Mall? If logistics work out, that'd be really cool. I concur, that would be fantastic, with 1 minor exception -- I love the snow for this game. Outside of this past year, what are the odds of snow in DC on Jan 1? All of the previous WCs were in cities where snow chances were much higher. In any case, I love the idea of the National Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, keep thinking that I guess. No team lower than a 5 seed has ever won the Cup in the modern era, and a 5 seed has only won once, and it was during a strike year so those seeds were based off of half a season.

section 130 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 For any Caps STH looking to go, so far the best deal is the Hilton Pittsburgh on price and proximity to Heinz Field. I already booked my room for 159 per night. Everything else that close was pushing 3 bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 teams ever came back from 0-3 deficit in the NHL playoffs, the Flyers became a 3rd. Anything can happen -- that's why they play the games. I guess the pressure is on the Blackhawks. If they lose, it'll be the collapse of the century because "they're supposed to win". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeysc23 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I blocked off three rooms at the Hilton as well. Should be a great time. I did as well (well 1 room). Def should get some Caps/Skins fans together for some pre-gaming or tailgating for the game. Great excuse for a new jersey haha. Hope they do a better retro then the Mike Gartner night ones.
