they'll never have the winter classic since it's jan 1st and there's too large of a chance osu could have a bowl game the same day.

they could get a stadium series game in february though, there's been some discussion about that.

why does tOSU having a bowl matter?

its not like they'd be playing it at the Shoe

and last year, the winter classic started at 1:00PM, while the national semi-final football games started at 5:10PM and 9:00PM respectively

doesn't matter who is playing, NHL will not try to compete with college football for ratings

i think they'd be worried that people wouldn't go to the game if osu was playing later.
i know technically it works time wise where people could go to the hockey game and then home for the football game but people would be distracted.
also so many people travel from columbus to the bowl game osu is in, you'd be losing thousands of big sports fans that would possibly be in attendance.

yea i guess thats true, im just thinking about the atmosphere of a hockey game at the Shoe and it looks great in my imagination

of course you do. 80,000 pens fans overpowering 20,000 CBJ fans on national TV is probably your wet dream.

it would be cool and pretty violent.

Re: The NHL Thread
 
Flyers-Pens would definitely work at State College.

I mean what could go wrong with 100,000 fans of Flyers and Pens at Penn State of all places?

don't forget about the copious amounts of alcohol that would be involved

that would calm things down

They would have to sell ticket's by buyer's area code or billing zip code. :lol

What would be the NHL's incentive to hold the winter classic in a non-NHL city?

At least with the tOSU it's in columbus.

Speaking of tOSU... the reasoning of a bowl game makes no sense because of what H2P posted.... and the Wing's hosted a winter classic at the Big House.

State College is kind of unique in that its basically equidistant from 2 major hockey markets and its a great venue

i mean, technically Ann Arbor isn't an NHL city (i know its only 45 mins from detroit, but still, they could've had it at Comerica Park but they went for the bigger/more historic venue)

Excellent point about Ann Arbor =/= Detroit. Forgot about that.

I went to the GoCubs school of Geography.

the bowl game issue has nothing to do with a conflict at the shoe. it has to do with people being out of town or not interested because of the bowl game. this isn't just my opinion this has been the organization and medias response to potentially hosting the winter classic here.

if there is a game at the shoe it will be a stadium series game in february.

what are your thoughts on their squad this year?

Pens/Flyers would awesome at PSU. It would easily sell out.

Isles are looking at Zdlicky. Not sure I like that. I wanted them to sign a veteran dman but more of a defensive crease clearing type. Zdlicky would only block someone like Pulock and his chance to shine on the PP with 100+ MPH slapper.

I haven't been around much. I was on vacation from work for 2 weeks straight and spent much of it out of town with the family racking up bills, getting too tan and not drinking enough while also listening to too much of their music in the car.

hailtopitt 08-13-2015 08:54 AM

Re: The NHL Thread
 
i also think the fact that the Pens have already been in 2 winter classics will hurt their chances of being in another one anytime soon

PSU makes sooo much sense though

for the record i think that the winter classic is dumb this year.

boston hosted one a few years ago and gillette is a boring venue. it's not even close to downtown.

st. louis should have hosted one at busch before they started doing repeats.

yea, i also think the Avalanche hosting at Coors or Mile High would be sweet, although the altitude + being outdoors in a colorado winter would certainly take its toll
