  1. Joey was an Ottawa Sens goalie who had a lot of potential and clearly Seattle is reaping that potential now 😂. It is painful being a Sen’s fan, Ottawa born and watched them my entire life but glad seeing our prospects finally doing well even if they are on other teams.

  2. I think this game was officially trying to make hockey football. This was football to me. It was all the stuff I don't watch football for; the cringy half-time show, the actual pyrotechnics, putting the ice in the middle of an actual football field. If they add cheer leaders I'm strictly watching podunk loser hockey from now on…

  3. The HBO series for that 2012 winter classic is what turned me in to a Rangers fan, couldn't agree more that was an amazing year for it. Not to mention both teams jerseys were beautiful.

  4. I've been to two outdoor games as a Leafs fan – the Heritage Classic in Ann Arbor in 2014 and NHL 100 in Ottawa in 2017 (wearing a Leafs jersey to a MTL-OTT game, I know, I know). If I'm not there wearing snow pants and mukluks, I just treat it the same as any other game. The atmosphere is good in person, assuming you can see the ice from where you're sitting. But the presentation is fine, the fact the NHL does a spectacle is nice. But it's clear the priority is on building hockey fans elsewhere and that's totally fine for me. It's just not about making the existing fans happy but generating new ones.

  5. Someone forgot to tell Vegas after all the pregame hype that they still were also supposed to play hockey

  6. i had the privilege to go to the OG winter classic in edmonton, what a cold day it was. but i got to see gretzky play in an oiler uniform which was very cool. I wish there was footage of the streaker, he stole the show for a few minutes sliding up and down dick first on the triangle advertisement boards that were surrounding the rink. buddy was sitting right next to me and i didnt even notice until he was running down the steps with one sock and a toque on haha, it was -35 that day and he chose to streak… LEGEND

  7. I just hate the NHL now a days. Players are a bunch of pusspusses games are too higfh scoring, shootouts are lame and these outdoor games are way over done

  8. I got to attend this game and it was so much fun. The energy was just so different at the T-Mobile park vs Climate Pledge Arena. Of course having 47,000 people there made for a much louder game, but it was so fantastic as a Kraken fan to see them beat up the Stanley Cup winners.

  9. Craziness in this world man. You're supposed to be a professional broadcaster Paul, not a professional wrestler. You're on national TV in front of Wayne Gretzky and kids are watching. It should have never gotten physical like that. Hitting the mascot with the microphone, body check and elbow drop? Dude, ur nuts

  10. Idk I think the last time I watched the winter classic was Nashville and Dallas it’s just kind of lost its appeal a lot of the new teams get a shot at it and they tend to be the more popular teams that are hot I probably would have watched if the coyotes were in it since they’re pretty hot rn and that’s coming from someone whose not from Arizona or really a coyotes fan

  11. Coverage is so much fun in the states. And the analysts clearly know hockey.

    So much better than the national embarrassment: SN.

  12. Bissonette's elbow drop needs work. Other than that, awesome (Buoy is 2/10 at being an ordinary in-game mascot, but a solid 9 at extracurriculars.) And how many teams have been led into their stadium by an owner?

  13. The Biz/Buoy feud is so much fun! Being a Kraken fan, I was jazzed up for this game the moment it was announced, and leading up to the game with all the buzz, it felt like a glimpse of a possible alternate universe where the Kraken took the Stars out in the second round to take on Vegas for the western conference championship last season. Seattle winning it was great, and having a bunch of people get a chance to see why I'm such a Joey Daccord fanboy was icing on the cake.

    I do totally get what you say about the Winter Classic, though. I pay it a lot less attention when there's no teams in it I care about.
