Pens vs Hawks outdoors...in March?!?!

[jwest21]

Rossi just tweeted "multiple sources confirm Pens will play Blackhawks in Soldier Field in March. March?!!?

[penny lane]

Six outdoor games; that borders on the silly.

Let it snow.

Two in NYC the week of the Super Bowl they are trying to make money these games make money

[jwest21]

the weather is sketchy enough in January. I don't get why they think March is better.
Oh and Rossi says he got it from Dredger

It's pretty cold in Chicago in March.....trust me, I've experienced it.

[penny lane]

so you would think the march games are after the olympic games? to welcome back the NHL ?

[llipgh2]

I'm sorry. This is just getting ridiculous. From fun, special event to blatant money grab. Enough.

[DudeMan2766]

6 outdoor games just sprung up and Leonsis still doesn't get one lol

If this is true i am glad it is in Chicago, the blackhawks have a superior ice crew.





I would be embarrassed to have the U.S. see dudes in our ice crew, its just embarrassing.

[SoupOrSam]

Screw the NHL and their outdoor games.

[pens#1]

What will the jersey be, please let it be the yellow one from mid 80s

6 games that is stupid, just plain stupid. I can see 2 in a year, but 6?? The outdoor game is going to fall by the way side with this many games.

and 5 games in 9 days???? stupid. Maybe the Chicago ice girls will make me feel better.

Just published again on NBC Sports.

I love it, since I can get to Chicago a lot easier than I can get to any other NHL city, and there should be tickets available.

I want to like this idea, I just can't. The only winter classic that felt truly special to me was the first one in Buffalo thanks obviously to the Pens playing but also due to the weather/atmosphere. The rest were okay but nothing great. The one in Pittsburgh was a disaster on all fronts.

And this will be our third. That is so awesome.

[CERV96]

I can't wait to see who will get injured next?

[DontToewsMeBro]

GUYS GUYS DON'T YOU GET IT?! REAL BLACK AND GOLD JERSEYS!

[Kovy27]

Time to spin the wheel of injury, sponsored by Geno's Sun Burn. In Russia, Geno burns the sun.

[Nizzy]

I'm so over the outdoor stuff.

1 game of year, at noon, on jan 1st....was awesome, enough, and perfect.

It's such a joke now.

OK, I'll take your word for it. I just imagine March everywhere as 23 one day and 58 the next

[LAChrisPaul]

Being in LA, I have to say I'm kind of excited. It's going to be a mess, logistics wise, for hockey, but it'll be a damn cool event at Dodgers Stadium.

[knives of ice]

i guess it is a supossed we're sorry by the league for the lockout - yeah right.

the outdoor game may look cool on tv, but its pretty much a joke of a game because of the ice conditions and not a good viewing experience attending live. if you actually want to see well played hockey and have a great viewing experience save your money and go to a playoff game.
