Nice glove save there

Hawks have been carrying play, but the Pens are only down one. They are fortunate to still be in this thing.

It sucks for us but it was the right call.

That 1 hurt

I haven't watched a whole lot of this game, I'm just ready for the Outdoor Games to be over with for the season, the novelty is wearing off

I've got no problem with it. I think the regular season is too long, as it is. Why not make one of 82 a little different than the others. The only thing I would like to see is some new blood in these matchups. Minnesota needs a home game. So does Colorado and Winnipeg.

It can't be stressed enough how bad all of the Stadium Series jerseys have been

The refs and linesmen aren't that bad, imo

Finally

Hell I could be a 50 goal scorer if the other team puts it in their own net for me

I think the regular season in terms of length is fine as it is, it's just that the outdoor experience in general isn't a novelty anymore - and just the fact we all know it is a money grab

It just doesn't feel the same that it isn't a Winter Classic game - this probably would have been a great Winter Classic game but they wasted it for the Stadium Series

It is a money grab, but if it sells... And it does as ratings/attendance certainly illustrates, why not? The whole point of pro sports is entertainment and to make money.

I can't hate on that.

 

[evolver115]

That'll do it.

I understand what they're doing, but sometimes, they have to know the limits - I think some people take the bait and spend money on it just because it is popular

I just hope this doesn't end up being something where it's less interesting to watch over time

I would love a Malkin or Maatta goal

The novelty of it could wear off. Gotta admit it, though.. If Philly and the Pens ever get a outdoor game at 100,000 seat Beaver stadium, I'm taking the whole family

Oh yeah, Flyers/Penguins would be epic

 

[Cobiemonster]

This will be the first time a "home team" has won an outdoor game in the US since when the Bruins won in the Winter Classic in 2010

I wonder if the penguins will go the brodeur route and blame it on the ice
