2014 NHL Winter Classic: January 1, 2014 (1:00 PM ET)

Looks a little like a pinball machine. Should be fun.

And where do you have to be to actually SEE the PUCK ?

 

[Jimbo]

It was very cool to see so many of the past wings greats, especially from the 90's teams

Kind of funny seeing Wendal Clark and Curtis Joseph, the played for the wings, but obviously there great years and they are much more well known with the leafs

Really enjoyed seeing Mickey Redmond and Stevie Yzerman again.

It was fun having the announcers being able to talk to players while the game was going on, however, I think they interrupted Mr. Osgood several times ...
I don't think either of the goalies wanted to be out there today, kept talking about how cold it was and not getting enough constant work to stay warm.
Both were stiff and playing with pads that weren't broke in.

It is going to be a cold one today, temps will be in single digits for the game

Real Hockey weather. And how great would it be to see a Bowl Game played in the Big House each January 1st? Real Football weather.

Nice & snowy.

What a scene at the Big House.....how great is this!!

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

I went to sleep around maybe 8am this morning & set my alarm for 12:45pm so I could watch this.

I'm just trying to wrap mind around an outdoor hockey game in Los Angeles later this season.

Great atmosphere, it's a Winter classic for sure

 

[riffjim4069]

God I love outdoor hockey.

 

[mccoyrj]

Hockey in the snow...a whole different dynamic. Love it.

 

[satjay]

For sure, seeing how the puck is getting caught up in the snow is intresting for style of game

It brings me back to my childhood. We would play hockey on the frozen pond down the street.

Minus about 105,000 spectators, of course.

 

[mccoyrj]

I guess those sitting in the Ueker seats are there just to say they were. No way they can see what's going on.

Heck, I betcha we can find at least 250K who will say they were at today's game.

 

[riffjim4069]

Good first period of hockey for the Wings...still, it's all tied-up on the scoreboard.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Score Red Wings!!!

 

[riffjim4069]

Great period for the Wings, so far.

Powerplay for Leafs...
