Fanuck Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Meh, didn't even watch this year's versions. NHL - this is getting old - you've saturated the market. It isn't 'special' anymore imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 This year they should've done Canucks at NYR to celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest SCF's in history, or have them play the Jets in Sask. Surprised it's not Boston vs. Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 The NHL had a good, fun, interesting event. They ruined it, because they got greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kragar Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Am I the only one who thinks these are dumb to begin with? Fans sitting nowhere near the boards, and everyone sitting so far away from the play. All too often bad unis and lighting. I guess the overall event is fun for those who go with lots of things to check out (IIRC) but as far as the game itself goes, I really don't see the point. Then they go and put them in places where snow is almost unheard of like these, and it gets even more silly. Whatever let's them sell a bunch more tickets, I guess.

Not to be a butthole, but just cause you don't like something doesn't mean other people don't like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting too far away from the play means a lot of overpriced seats. If they thought they needed to put graphics on the puck to make it visible on TV so many years ago, what would they have to use in a football stadium when the viewer is another hundred+ feet distance away from the play? I'd rather pay less to see the game in an arena and get a better sight-line. Be closer to the play and the sounds, and not freeze my butt off.

I can see what you're saying for sure, but for the people that show up it isn't just the game it's an actual event a lot like the all star game. People can get autographs and meet guys and all sorts of stuff. It's so much fun at these events. I was at the Edmonton one and it was a blast. I find it's a great way for kids to enjoy more than just a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
