Was the event fun at least? Looked like it was successful enough to try it in the Bay Area next year. *fingers crossed*

Although I wonder if Kiss' music was recorded. Pretty sure no one hit their guitars on the last note of one sing during the first intermission.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

horrible game last night, streak was bound to end at some point. hopefully they bounce right back.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Oh yeah it was an absolute blast! Just wish they would've gotten one goal so we could all cheer. The experience itself was priceless.

KISS was really cool but no way they were not playing recorded music. Still put on a great show at that age though!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Last night was super fun to watch, but today... well this is absolutely perfect and what the outdoor games are all about. The spectacle has been so fun and I'm glad having multiple games this year hasn't worn off the luster of outdoor hockey.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Anything with those Jersey Boys clowns is hardly perfect.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Flyers!!!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Is this technically a home game for the Rangers?

Why are they playing the goal horn when NJ scores?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Home game for the Devils, next one is home for Rangers.

The Rags are really leaving Hank out to dry.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Absolutely agree. The NHL can market the shit out of these, continue to exploit this spectacle, and I will enjoy every single one. This is awesome.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

How is Jagr still so good?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I don't understand this phenomenon.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Jeremy's still got it!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Looks cold and the sun is out. Supposed to be 2 degrees with the wind chill for Wednesday night. Can you say layers upon layers. Can't wait.

Prefer the old school green devils uniforms.

And yeah, jagr is phenomenal. He was drafted 1 spot ahead of islanders pick. Torrey was still picking back then so I can just imagine what could have been.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I think it's the power of Jeremy Jaguar that compel his greatness.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Hahahaha fucking DGB:

Down Goes Brown

Lou Lamoriello sadly presses a button. The chunk of ice that holds Martin Brodeur's crease breaks away, and he floats out to sea.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

And Marty clearly does not

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Haha, some great tweets come from DGB

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol they really should have skipped that segment with roenick and the rangers fans. brutal.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I never saw the coverage of it, but last night I saw Roenick on the field with 4 boys, at one point the kids were all tackling him. In sure that was gold too.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yes!! That win was exactly what I needed!! Great job Rangers!!! 2-0 in outdoor games!!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I muted it as he started talking. Or maybe switched back to the Sharks game. In any case, I knew I didn't want to hear what he had to say.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Franzen back and Zetterberg out. Figures.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yup, totally on Marty. Should have stopped all three goals that came off odd man rushes, as well as the one that hit off his defenseman and changed direction.

God, that guy blows...

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

$4 million/yr Bickell becoming a healthy scratch.

Brutal.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yep....though the same thing

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

The outdoor games will never get old.

I think people tend to dislike multiple ones because they want theirs to be special or something. I had a blast watching last night's game.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Bryce Salvador for Bickell.

Boom.

Older players missing games?! What a surprise....

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Hawks recall Brandon Pirri.

Thank fucking God. Let's hope he sticks over Handzus at 2C until Teravainen can be the permanent spot.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Best laugh of the day. Thanks.

Big game tonight. Can't overlook the big bad Bruins in anticipation of Wednesday night vs the Rag$

Still steaming a little over Saturday's call to overturn Vanek's goal. We were clearly wronged but the NHL would never go back and change the call and give us the win. Hate all things Toronto.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

have a bad feeling about the jackets.
funny how quickly things can change.
the way the schedule is set up this week it could get ugly fast.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

only team coming up for them that i would say is definitely better would be the caps, but all are winnable

keep the faith schreibs, jackets doing work

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

i want to pitt i really do but they looked so bad Saturday night.

gave up 2 short handed goals to the sabres. good lord.

we will find out how good of a coach Richards is through this stretch.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

interesting stat I heard on sports radio here today (not sure it is true): during the jackets 8 game winning streak they went from 23rd in the NHL in goals scored to 8th.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

yea i mean it's going to happen over 82 games

you're right about richards though, if he can steady the ship i think the jackets get in the playoffs for sure...thanks in part to a weak division but still...

:lol jesus... looks like columbus is 8th at 146 GF

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Wow the Carolina alternate unis are horrific

After Marchand was talking smack to Clutterbuck, he scores. Classic Marchy

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

and it was classic Clutterbuck getting Chara to take the roughing minor.

Nice to see us keep responding each time you guys go up one.

3 more points for Okposo, so far. Yeah, team USA doesn't need him.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

classic shit play by our lousy defense as Hickey stumbles allowing Soderberg to come right in. Ughhh.

Team is forced to overcome so much each night.

This game is insane, exciting to say the least though. Not used to a Bruins game being this wide open.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

We play a lot of games like this. If Grabner could only score more on breakaways, he'd be a consistent 30 goal scorer. That is why he passed it to Okposo.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Bergey!

Another point/assist from Marchand.

12 goals in the last 2 games? Where are the Bruins? And congrats to Big Z on his 500th point!!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

it's so great when I see you post that they score, I hit "refresh" on ESPN's page and the 5 changes to a 6.:thumbsup

ZMAN!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Another fing point for Marchand LOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

About god damn time, Kings!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

2 wins in a row! You're officially "on notice", western conference :P


Also, going to the Sabres/Caps game for free tonight, courtesy of the one and only Steve Ott! hahaha First time seeing NHL hockey live in a few years.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Perron's been one of the more underrated pickups recently. Obviously he can't carry the whole team to the playoffs, but dude's done his part offensively. :thumbsup

Ott? 1) Do you know him?, and 2) Is he as big a douche nozzle in person? :)

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

LOVE the Perron pickup. He's been the most consistent player on the ice all year for the Oil.

As for Ott, it's through my brother who skates with Disney on Ice. They met backstage at one of their stops in Dallas a few years ago, and have been somewhat-friends ever since. They help each other out getting free tickets for each other. My brother is in town this week and got our family tickets. I haven't met Steve...I may tonight, and if I do I will report back on any douchieness.

That being said, my brother said he's a great guy off the ice. Has hung out with him (and his family) on more than one occasion.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Not sure if it's been posted but here is a video...goalies wearing go-pros during practice for the game at Dodger Stadium;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=V4-VTycoGEk

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol That may be the first and only time I've seen "Ott" and "Disney on Ice" in the same sentence. Even so, that's cool to hear! Have fun at the game.

It seems most players play with a certain edge and persona on the ice which is completely different from their real personality off it. Ott was not a popular player when he played for our minor league team here because of his attitude and off-ice antics (especially in uber-conservative SLC), but then again that was over ten years ago and he was just beginning his career as a pro hockey player. He has definitely matured a lot over the years.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Guys, all our wildest dreams have come true:

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol

We should all pool money together and go.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Anyone else watching the Caps game tonight?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I am. Back and forth. Caps are cycling and need to put away this game.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I love my Caps, but watching them is so frustrating this season. So inconsistent. They'll play so sloppy in the neutral zone and their own end with bad turnovers, poor passes, running around... Then the next minute they'll put something pretty together and score. They could easily be a top 3 team in the wast with some consistency. Especially with the league's goals leader.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Flyers needed a game like this. Thanks Red Wings

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Poor Tim.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

17 goals in 3 games for the B's.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Bruins 3 straight games with 6 goals..crazy

I'm not sure who this team is, I'm used to plugging out 3-2 wins :lol

And anyone that says Thornton is a goon, please look at the goal he put in tonight.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Didn't sleep well last night and that is rare for me. I'm guessing I'm overly excited for the game tonight or maybe just afraid of frostbite.

I think I have enough layers prepared. I could always take a layer off, right, but it would suck if I didn't bring enough.

Hope for a win. Would suck to go thru it all and us lose. Kind of sad how many tickets are available on the cheap this week. I thought it would be a hot ticket so I bought them when they went on sale.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Did not get to meet Steve. There is a family trip starting today so they all had their families with them last night, and no room for us scrubs. Awesome, awesome seats he hooked up though. 200 level in one of the corners, 5th row - makes for GREAT sightlines.

Was a fun game to watch, being that I had no rooting interest. Back and forth all night...was surprised the Caps couldn't lock it down early after going up 2-0 so quickly. Live NHL hockey is the best.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Only watched parts of the game last night but pretty much what I expected to happen, happened. When the guy who was slated to be your #4 center at the start of the season, is now your #1, you've got problems. First time since Franzen came into the league in 05-06 that the Red Wings have played a game without him, Datsyuk and Zetterberg. They are hanging on by a thread.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Red Wings suck.

Let's go Flyers!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Thanks Sarah! The Stastny/Duchene dance... I miss it! They stopped doing it right about the time they started winning again, so...
Thanks man. That blog post was hilarious in its ridiculousness. The pic was great, however. :thumbsup
Thanks, Kevy!
Maybe next time, Swordo! Glad you had a good time pal. :thumbsup

Pretty big swing on the emotion scale huh?
Eh been planned for a while. Still think it's stupid.

edit: well so is that franchise.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol yeah, there's still a lot of hockey to be played, they'll be around in the end that's all that really matters this year.

i've had friends over the last 2 nights to watch the games, both new hockey fans. both games have been heart breakers and my one buddy who started going to games with me last year whe the jackets were in dead last place said "it was almost more fun just to watch when we didn't have any expectations".

it's kind of true.

i remember going to a blackhawks game last year, jackets lost by a goal after they had one dis-allowed but all I remember thinking when I left the arena was how amazing it was to see Kane play in person.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

The part about no expectations I agree with. While I don't understand the regular season idea, last year losing in the 2nd round was a hell of a lot of fun. I thought they could beat the Ducks but if they lost wouldn't have surprised me. Then to go up 3-1 on the Hawks was great.

I haven't seen Kane play live yet. Had that experience with Brett Hull once though. Not even in the early 90's. It was 1999 I think and just watching him get open was amazing. He would find the smallest area and still get a rocket of a shot off. He scored both goals for the Stars in a 2-2 tie.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

If I was a wings fan I'd feel differently I'm sure :lol

I just want to see CBJ playing meaningful games into the spring. That has only really happened twice. I'm praying they make the playoffs but if nothing else it's progress. Still a very young team.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

It is your birthday, Matthew. /Dwight

Also, Sather going to Sather. Callahan might get moved? Are they serious?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

You'll get there where you want more than just the playoffs. If you get to the Wings or where like Blackhawks and Pens fans are now, you can start to take it for granted. A lot more fun when you just go along for the ride.

I've seen the rumors too. Would be so dumb to trade Callahan

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

this game is so awesome.
the way the ice looks reminds me of how our backyard rink looked at night with the flood lights shining on it.

"This is like house sitting for God."
Love Michael J Fox

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

great finish.
not going to get a better look than okposo got there.

Just shanked it.
Great win.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Rangers 3-0 in outdoor games! Best record in modern NHL! Maybe we should play outdoors all season!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Anyone know why the Rangers got two games at the stadium, while the Devils and Islanders only got one each? Is it just based on their fan base and predicted revenue and hype?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yes to the above question. Rangers are the more marketable team of the three.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Happy birthday Matty, and Fuck Ben Scrivens.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

A 59 shot shutout are you serious Scrivens? Crazy, wish I'd watched that game

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I'll sell you my memory of it.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

This is exactly it. They wanted to get all the teams involved and so someone has to play twice so it's gonna be the Rangers.
