TheRussianRocket. Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Pretty cool, but still pretty disappointing....Winter Classic is the biggest event and I'd like to see that here instead of this Tim Hortons thing....it's like the Grey Cup and the Winter Classic is the Super Bowl....but either way, I'm excited and will attend it. Winter Classic is probably for US teams to get more people to watch hockey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yes, finally! Only concern would be, how the weather will be in March and how it will affect the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 tickets are going to be so expensive. i gotta try to convince the wife to somehow go to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah... I don't think setting the date at March 2nd was a wise idea for a "winter classic", especially in Vancouver. Neat though, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 This rivalry makes as much sense as having an outdoor game at Dodgers stadium between the Kings and Ducks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Why don't they just make/use a rink near Whistler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Weak ... hockey inside a football stadium ... what's the purpose of that? More revenue for NHL? Outdoor rinks, I see but inflated prices to watch hockey at BC Place ... no thanks Gary Buttman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Would be cool to go see (but then it's the summer, so what wouldn't be at this point?!), but the NHL really should call them what they are: "Shameless Money Grabs" instead of "Heritage Classic Games."

Baggins Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Is it still an `outdoor event` if the dome is closed due to rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginu Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Rare was once in awhile... Then came yearly, now 5 times this year? I haven't bothered watching the past outdoor games the last few years because its crappy hockey on crappy ice, nothing special. Sure tune in for 5 minutes but thats about it.

avelanch Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The woman who birthed you seems to be of dubious moral standing. #1915Insults "It appears your rover knows not which end of the rink to advance to." #1915Insults the Millionaires swept them in the final like a small child sweeping a factory floor! #1915Insults I do say!

Bodee Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 You guys seem very pessimistic. I don't know Vancouver, does it rain every day at the end of February, beginning of March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 What a lame gimmick. An outdoor "winter" classic that is being held indoors and barely even in winter. It should be at Empire Stadium sometime in February, but of course that only holds 30,000 vs BC Place's 60,000. It's just a money grab. It has nothing to do with heritage.
