Stadium Series Thread

Might as well start talking about it. It's coming together nicely, as the Cap'n saw earlier today.

ESPN interviewed a bunch of women who came through the program I coach for and will be highlighting women's and girl's hockey. NHL is giving us a big grant to grow the girls programs around town. Pretty excited about it. Even if I will be at the game and won't see it broadcast.

Weather is looking mostly cloudy and moderate (like 40 degrees, dropping to 20 after dark) so I have no idea if we'll get the game going on time. Probably the only time since I moved here where I want clouds.

Game's gonna matter too. We play the Wings two days before in Detroit and are fighting them for a WC spot.

Kinda wonder how the Michigan contingent is gonna feel about getting dressed in here:

That’s cool you finally got an outdoor game. Are you sure Gary signed off on this and it’s not some elaborate prank?

Last night, the NHL presented my club with a giant novelty check as the first recipient of the league grant to grow girls hockey during our girls' try hockey for free event.

ESPN interviewed a lot of the women who came through our program, several of which I have coached, and will be showing the interviews during the broadcast. We're also getting a presentation during the second intermission on the board inside the stadium.
