I think these Winter Classic games are cool and I was thinking about getting tickets . . . but they seem kind of stupid to go to. You'll be so far away from the ice that you'll barely see anything. They even design the uniforms with larger numbers so that people will be able to see them from farther away.

And then I saw that the tickets are even more expensive than regular games. Seems kinda pointless other than the novelty of it. Perhaps if I can find some cheap tickets I'll go just for the event aspect of it (and the one here is Sharks v. Kings so it would be nice to see the Kings lose ). But if I'm going to a game, I'd rather see one in the arena where I can seem them up close.

i'm sure not many people watched the epix.com documentary on the lead up to this game. Most f-bombs ive ever heard two coaches say.

It's really impressive the nhl could reanimate the corpse of billy idol to perform today.

[CreeperBlocks]

Yes.

 

[speculawyer]

Wow, I just discovered something really cool. I can turn on the VPN, start a game streaming, and then turn off the VPN and the streaming game will continue working while other apps now work better without the Canadian IP address.

Edit: Damn it. It stopped working. :-/

Edit2: Oh wait . . . it is still working.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

START AGAAIIIIIIIINNNN

 

[zroid]

you can tell the coaches really just want to say "ah fuck it do whatever the hell you want"

 

[DopeyFish]

oooh epic music lol

 

[Revenant]

Why are the Hawks wearing pajamas?

 

[T.M. MacReady]

The skating out on the reflecting pool is pretty awesome.

 

[Foggy]

Despite the goofy Billy Idol stuff, I'm really digging the production on this.

[T.M. MacReady]

Holtby's pads are pretty kickass.

 

[zroid]

CBC or NBC?

 

[Acid08]

I like the Caps' uniforms.

 

[speculawyer]

Cleary is forever.

On a Cleary day you can see forever.

 

[DopeyFish]

oh god it's too bright

 

[speculawyer]

CBC or NBC?

You get the NHL 15 announcers on NBC.

 

[TUSR]

Camera angle looks wrong.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

CBC or NBC?

I'm on the CBC one. Pick your poison

 

[Freyjadour]

Man this would be an interesting event if these were two teams that gave a shit about playing one another.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Oh right, the Winter Classic.

I haven't been less enthused about a Winter Classic in a long time.

 

[Yawnier]

CBC or NBC?

CBC feed has Glenn Healy, just a warning.

 

[speculawyer]

They need to use the cameras behind the net.

The main camera is so far away that it is zoomed way in and minor bumps make it wobbly. I'm getting seasick.

Edit: Oooh, this floating camera is GREAT.

 

[zroid]

I'm on the CBC one. Pick your poison

Ya, gotta go with Hughson

then again, Healy...

CBC feed has Glenn Healy, just a warning.

D:

 

[zychi]

Non-wire camera is bouncy as hell.

 

[Acid08]

First DRIIIIIIVE of the morning.

 

[TUSR]

This is not fun to watch.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

[Freyjadour]

Camera is seriously awful.

 

[apocalidiot]

Fuck these dickwipes and their inability to figure out how to shoot a fucking outdoor hockey game properly. This shit is nauseating

 

[Velcro Fly]

Come on let them fight

 

[zroid]

yeah the camera is always weird in the outdoor games

[wsoxfan1214]
