How do they get 50,000 fans to go to a game where the best seat in the stadium is worse than the worst seat in an indoor arena?



There is no way the bastards on the front row (100 ft away from the rink) can even see an inch of the ice because of the angle.



What the hell? This has to be the worst hockey game to go and see live.





As I'm watching this another question popped up, why do they have both national anthems when both teams are from the US and playing in the US?

I went to the one in Pittsburgh, and was up top, I had no problem seeing what was going on

Jeez....I sat through the first few minutes. What the heck folks see in hockey I can't fathom.

NHL mandate...celebrate both countries players. Which is a joke as there are probably 10 or so countries represented. Most of the folks are watching the big screens in the stadium. It's the Classic...all you need is beer and philly's....

Not a hockey fan here either. But the NHL playoffs are AWESOME. Every sport should be as intense.

I was at the alumni game the other day and sat 13 rows from the ice just above the rangers' dugout.  I could only see the far half of the ice the way I wanted but it was still a great time.  Wish I was there right now..

Shut your whore mouth.  Hockey is by far the most exciting sport on the planet.   Baseball, football, basketball and soccer all suck compared to hockey.

I guess this "Texican", with season Dallas Stars tickets, must just be utterly confused.

I've enjoyed every other Winter Classic but this one isn't growing on me. I know they're a new concept but they should be on January 1, not the second, when there are four other games that will be played tonight.

Way to schedule-fark that one up, NHL.

The NHL teams are played in Canada and the US. When there's a Russian NHL team expect to hear the Russian anthem. (I ranted about the same thing, but the wife pointed that one out to me. And I'm the big hockey fan in the house! )

Hockey is one of the few team sports that I like. I love the fights and stuff  I tend to go nuts during the Olympic hockey games...

Being on the 2nd this year was probably because the 1st was on a Sunday and they didn't want to compete with the NFL. The News Year Day College Bowl Games were all pushed to today too because of the conflict with the NFL schedule.

Never stopped 'em before... They went head to head with the NFL and bowl games in past years and did well.

My guess is NBC dictated the whole thing.
