2011 Winter Classic

[Tonyank]

it will be the highest rated hockey game of the year, for the what third year in a row?



1-assuming their is football
2-assuming the networks dont have the nfl games shifted to saturday

1 Assuming the game isnt rained out

I'd play this game early afternoon on Super Bowl Sunday and get even bigger ratings. The pre game shows go on for hours that day and there's nothing else to see but college hoops until about 6:00.

i like this

I read somewhere that they'll play on the 2nd if they can't do it on the 1st.. if not on the 2nd, then it'll be rescheduled for a later date at CONSOL.

...... People are going to go apeshit if that happens.

Game moved to 8 pm, Saturday

Under the lights and only one football game up against it. Good move. The rain is expected to be mostly gone by then and of course the temp will be dropping.

Awesome. Now I can watch all the games during the day that I actually want to watch, and finish the night with the Pens.

Oh yeah, Jake.. Staal is a game-time decision. :)

Fleury looks like he's struggling a bit out there. Looks like he might be having trouble seeing the puck.

These camera angles are fucking terrible.

DAN BYLSMA LOOKS LIKE A PIMP!

Nothing like watching a hockey game from a fucking blimp camera.

Staal looks like Staal out there. Killing penalties, hitting, etc.

That was just terrible.

Looked like that should've been a penalty shot.

Green doesn't even try to play defense, he just takes a penalty, lol. He's so bad at defense.

Make it stop.

This coverage has been awful. 1st grade level analysis and terrible camera work at the most random times.

Pretty much. Game is awesome though. Plenty of action. Varlamov looks good.

Fleury with a huge save on an Ovechkin breakaway.

Ice has looked soft all night. Players aren't getting to full speed as fast as usual.

GET THESE CAMERA ANGLES THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
