That's not true. They had an outdoor game in Las Vegas years ago(1991 I think). The could do one just about anywhere during Winter. |

For some reason ESPN here didn't show the winter classic even though they advertised it, and there's no replays of it either.

Although the outcome of the score isn't what I liked, that was an amazing experience. Just to hear the roar of the crowd was insane. A lot of fans for both the Pens and the Caps there. Caps just wanted it more tonight have to give credit when due. Ovi is still an arrogant cocky prick but I earned alot of respect for the rest of them tonight. Pens just weren't ready.

I remember when the rumor last year was Rangers/Islanders
![]() and of course, Citi Field offered to hold the event, but I just know they would have coaxed Yankee Stadium into hosting it instead due to name value |

A game in Canada would be good but NHL cares a lot about ratings in the US.
Something like a Toronto-Montreal game would be huge in Canadian ratings but not as huge in the US unless NHL added US teams or had the game in the US. It sounds stupid but that is the main reason the NHL has Winter Classics since it is only about the ratings and boost in publicity in the US. |

I don't see why toronto/montreal wouldn't do well in the US, unless the US really are THAT self centered? Pretty sad if they're, which i wouldn't doubt.

It would still get decent ratings from the US but not the huge numbers a Classic located in the US or involving US teams can generate. It still sounds like a dumb reason but the Commish still wants to expand the fanbase and interest in hockey in the southern US. |

I'd love it if they'd just do away with the Winter Classic, it makes for god awful hockey games and really ugly camera angles.

Sorry to break it to you but they're going to start doing multiple Winter Classics, eventually going overseas with them

This should be considered a success, however, one could only wonder if the game would have went on when it was scheduled. I know for me, the TV Guide that comes on my tv did not show the game was re-scheduled. |

Anyone think that the game will go back to the afternoon next year? Ratings, ratings, ratings.
Should next year have a warm weather team as the visitor? I could see them trying to cash in on a California team visiting New York. |

I would try like hell to get a ticket if the Avs hosted one. Not an Avs fan, but would love to see a Winter Classic in person.

Yeah, he was such a model of health and consistentcy. Thats why they traded Roloson.

I do agree with Lara Emily somewhat. The hockey in the Winter Classic is pretty bad due to ice conditions. The NHL really needs to be careful with this.
Also, I'm shocked the greedy Leafs ownership has not gotten an outdoor game yet. You'd think they be all over a Ottawa/Toronto outdoor game. |
