If jm liles can get traded any lump of crap making big money can

Dion 7 over 7

Between the terrible passing and the all red/blue jerseys I feel like I'm watching bubble boy hockey.

I think it's awesome myself. Makes you feel like a kid again, especially the reunion game yesterday.

 

[pixburgher66]

Would Leafs guys keep their sticks away from guys necks/faces?

Dear NBC: never, ever, ever use that sky cam. Ever.

These games are always awful. It's more about the atmosphere (or jerseys) then the actual hockey.

I wouldn't say that. Take the game at Fenway. Didn't snow and the temp was perfect. I thought the game at Wrigley was good too. It shows how spoiled we get sometimes with the perfect ice that some arenas have. I'd watch 82 of these all year, every year if it was an option.

I sense too much negativity here.

Lots of people go for style over substance and the nhl knows it ... Chaching from the sheeple

Well, one thing is consistent - Shots on goal - Wings 13, Leafs 5

Gotta agree with jstew and mooger, I flipped over to watch some of the ManU - Spurs game as this game was putting me to sleep.

To each their own. I do enjoy this sort of thing once or twice per season, but I really couldn't get in to it being done more than that.

Yeah, it's not very exciting to watch.

They should make it a full on throwback game. 50's equipment for all. Leather helmets, flat sticks, deer hair pads and open ended skate blades.
