Winter Classic/Tonkka and Bogey love Dertoit (NHL Thread)

Tonkka

It's New Years Day, and that means Hockey out in the great wide open at Wrigley field!

Detroit Red Wings at the Chicago Blackhawks!





NHL hockey played outside is one of the best things ever, and this is one of the oldest rivalries in the league, so the action will be awesome (especially since Detroit whooped Chicago 4-0 the other night).

WOOOOO HOCKEY YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH

L|ama

Someone make ESPN international play NHL games again.

Marcus

Chicago has been red hot lately too, aren't they on like a nine game streak?

#pipe

anybody go to any Devils games that can get me a jersey?

Bogey

GO RED WINGS!

It's so cool seeing this game played at Wrigley Field. I wonder what the view is like from the seats behind home-plate or the outfield bleachers.

Alpine

Not the best venue for it, centre field seats are a mile away.

Go Tazer!

Bogey

Whoo, that Datsyuk goal was sweet!

So at the end of 2, Detroit's up 4 - 3.

Usagi

I would make sweet sweet love to Datsyuk for that goal

I am kicking myself in the ass for not trying harder to get to this game, but at least they're televising it

Bogey

So the RedWings have scored 4 straight goals (they're now up 6 - 3) since I've started watching the game.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :o

Squall

I love these train wreck games the Wings pull off on occasion. It starts off close and suddenly they pull goal after goal after goal.

Usagi

well Chicago pulled off the late goal but what a game

go Wings!

Dr.Funkenstein

How bout those Sharks?

Tonkka

San Jose is scaring the piss out of me this year.

And yes, Chicago was on a winning streak or 9 games until they went to Detroit and and got shut out on Tuesday.

outdoors hockey is much better suited for football stadiums instead of baseball

from what I was able to watch, it seemed like everyone was seated very far away

Marcus

Go Boston!
10 in a row!

Hunter

Marcus

I actually haven't seen any Sharks games this year yet.
And I only know of two guys on the team.
They are like this big faceless adversary.

Stationary

Wooo Lightning!

Spoiler:

O god we did so terrible this season. Again.

Marcus

This girl I work with is a rabid Lightning fan. She has never lived in Florida and now lives in New Hampshire. I don't get it.

humble

the winter classic sucked

i hate watching detroit so much

Alpine

I swear to god, if Tampa gets John Tavares and gives him 10 minutes of ice time a game like they did with Stamkos, they deserve to be relocated to a place where good GMs and coaches like to work.

Dr.Funkenstein

Well damn someone finally got ahead of the Sharks

Also it sucks that they only play against Boston once

Futore

my dear sweet Detroit scared me at first. i'm so happy they pulled through

Marcus

Yeah Chicago looked really good for the first half of the game.
