The Habs look camoflaged compared to the Flames.

ryancoke71 · 02-20-2011, 05:31 PM

Can someone explain why the American anthem was played. I love the US and all, but I don't get it!

Just be glad you didn't get God Bless America.

(Or worse, Lee Greenwood's POS God Bless The USA)

ryancoke71 · 02-20-2011, 05:38 PM

5 for Fighting was bad enough. Who the hell picks the entertainment for these things?? I guess I'll just be glad it wasn't Nickelback.

They said that the benches are so hot that the players cannot sit on them for a long time!

ETA: I love the hockey commercials we get here in Canada!

What is up with the pseudo-throwback mask on Calgary's goalie?
That messed me up until I saw it up-close. I wonder if the people in the stands call tell the difference?

DRay9911 · 02-20-2011, 05:47 PM

calgary's entire uniforms are throwback, to which year i don't know

the goalie for montreal has a funky mask too

ryancoke71 · 02-20-2011, 05:55 PM

It is Carey Price's first game with that mask. It looks weird.

Wow, they look frozen. The temp is -20C with the windchill.

This is perhaps the dumbest post I've seen here in a while. Wow.

There are American players on both teams. The game is being broadcast on American television. Even if it's called the Heritage Classic, I would question them not playing the anthem.

They're not throwback, but made especially for this event.

And they're fugly.

I'm surprised you are not freezing your ass off there for the game BoMac, or are you?

You are such a pleasure!

FYI, I was not the only one asking the question. NO need to be rude.

Do they play the Canadian anthem during NHL games when 2 American teams are playing? Just wondering. There are Canadian players.

Unfortunately, when the tickets went on sale I overslept and when I remembered I went online and they were all gone. I'm a bad fan, I know.

I wish I was there, though. I'll make it to one of these outdoor games one day.

normaly they don't - does anyone remember if they played the Canadian Anthem during the Pens/Caps Winter Classic?

ryancoke71 · 02-20-2011, 06:28 PM

So, my question wasn't that out of line.

Not sure why some feel the need to talk down to people.

dude, that sucks - were you at the Edmonton/Montreal game at least?

BoMac · 02-20-2011, 06:32 PM

It wasn't out of line,I just thought it was weird. Both anthems are played during big-time events, like a finals game or something.

Nope. Couldn't get out of work. Next year.

Is there any venue not named Rogers Centre that can hold such an event in T.dot? I think it's weird there's been no talk about a game in Toronto (that I know of).

elevated_u2_fan · 02-20-2011, 06:36 PM

Toronto has shitty out door facilities - the biggest stadium would be BMO Field which is home to the Toronto FC - it only holds 15,000 though...

BoMac · 02-20-2011, 06:38 PM

Oh, yeah, forgot about BMO.
