Ok Wings....I know your devolving into Dead Wings 2.0 but, this is the Laffs with Babcock on national TV. Have some pride & win.

I'm surprised Gretzky wasn't flanked by two goons when they introduced him.

Just curious if people think the novelty of these outdoor games have worn off, in my opinion there's been very little buzz about this game or the one between the Hawks and Blues tomorrow, Maybe it's a bigger deal for the actual cities and fans of those teams that are taking part

Speaking of outdoor games...

Jan 1 (Reuters) - Warm and wet weather conditions may alter plans for the 2017 NHL Winter Classic between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Blues outdoors at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Monday.

Unseasonably warm temperatures and forecasted rain could lead to unplayable conditions on the outdoor rink for the game scheduled to begin at 1pm EST (1800 GMT).

Temperatures are expected to climb into the 50s Fahrenheit (12C), according to AccuWeather, making it difficult to keep the ice properly frozen.

The usual high temperature for Jan. 2 is 40 (4 C).

If the game is delayed, it could be played Monday night or rescheduled for Tuesday night.
