Alf Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Should the Canucks play the Bruins in the 2014 Winter Classic? It is possible considering it's always cold in the winter in Boston, and they have the stadium for it. Gillete Stadium seats 68,000 and would be perfect for a hockey game. And the fact that it would be a rematch of the 2011 Stanley cup teams would make it even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 No, not a chance. NHL doesn't love the Canucks enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Murray Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The problem with the Canucks playing American teams in the Classic is that we would be looked upon as the villain, and Chicago/Boston would be "Captain America." It's a market, guys. They sell the market to the biggest American cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirteen Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'd like to see this... Canucks - Bruins series was great. It wouldn't be so much "rivalry" but a good match up of skill and grit along with the rematch of 2011. Everyone watched that series and knows the drama even this season that game was great. Bruins - Canucks could be entertaining and watching what these two respected clubs do to prepare for teams they rarely play and how it is behind the scenes. We all seen rivals now why not teams who rarely see each other but have history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturk8 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I think the rivalry has cooled off. Canucks, Hawks or Canucks, Wild (If they GG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 knowing the NHL, they would probably pair us against the Lightning or something lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StenMan.EXE Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 If we are going to be in a Winter/Heritage Classic, it should be against Chicago, Toronto, Edmonton or Calgary. Anyone else would be rather unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canso Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It wouldn't be a "Classic" it would end up a brouhaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
