Agreed. It's gorgeous. The Oilers are so good at failing. That orange jersey is horrid.

They should have gone with the 2001 Alternate!!!

When a team that's never won a playoff game meets a team that hasn't been in a playoff game in a decade in an outdoor game with a temperature in the minus teens celsius to celebrate the classicness of their heritage of sucking, how many times will I have to hear "These are real fans" or some variation of that come out of the broadcasters' mouths before I can shoot my television?

2001 looks as if somebody finally spoke up and told the Oilers brass that their logo sucks and that was what they came up with and somehow their terrible logo looked a lot better in hindsight.

99, Coffey, Fuhr AND kurri.

I smell a beatdown.

No Lucien Deblois on the Jets alumni roster

Better put BJ MacDonald on Gretzky's line with Sather behind the bench, I want to see #99 bounce in some goals off the BJ lamppost.

2001 looks to me like those films we used to watch in Health class, explaining how babies are made.

Is Pronger not eligible for the Jets alumni? He is after all a HHOF member of the Coyotes.

Hey Bettman, stop being so cheap.

Manitoba couple say NHL wants them to pay $400 ticket for breast-feeding baby

WINNIPEG — A pair of Manitoba parents are in a fight with the National Hockey League over their breast-feeding baby.

Clifford Anderson and Shalyn Meady have already spent $800 on two seats for this year's Heritage Classic.

But Anderson says the NHL has said if they want to bring their six-month-old son, William, to the outdoor hockey game this October, they'll have to pony up an extra $400 for a third seat.

The couple don't believe they should have to buy another ticket for a baby who can't even sit on his own yet.

They say they are being put in the position of either coughing up the extra cash or not going at all, and they think that's wrong.

NHL officials did not respond to a request by CTV News for a comment.

"'Everyone needs a ticket; everyone needs a seat,' is what they said," says Anderson. "Including babies."

"Even for moms that formula feed, they should be able to hang out with their baby and go to a family event like this if it's their choice," says Meady. "There's a lot of people who don't want to bring their babies, and that's fine, too, but this is something we want to do as a family. I think there should be an option."

At regular Winnipeg Jets games, children under two get in for free while at Winnipeg Blue Bombers games, kids under three don't need their own ticket.

Jets officials say the Heritage Classic is run by the NHL, so they're the ones who set the rules.
