mojo1917 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USPA1290:1:US So the weather forecast for this weekend's big outdoor game is not very "ice friendly"... Does the NHL still try to make it work despite near 60 degree temperatures and rain in the forecast ? Do they move the game inside to Consol ? It seems like the game on good ice won't be very competitive the way the Flyers are playing does the NHL want to add 45 minutes of soupy ice to a "showcase" event ?

notfondajane Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 If they move the game indoors what do you do with the extra ticket sales especially if these people are from out of town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Why do they always take something unique and shove it down your throat until it just isn't anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not agree more FC... I literally have no enthusiasm for this game. Too many of these games to make it special anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfondajane Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I thought it was only once a year? I'm guessing that it's one of the few games that draw 60,000 plus per game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Would really hate to see a player get hurt if Bettman forces them to play in an unsafe environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nossagog Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 In the end, it was pretty good weather for the game. Cold, a little snow and a bit of wind. Outdoor hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
