Weeeeeee!

Weeeeeee!

So the 2010 NHL Winter Classic is at some baseball field that's supposed to be historic or something like that. I hear they have a big green wall-like thing.

Around here, SB Nation will have a general stream of NHL Winter Classic updates, and the respective team sites, Boston's Stanley Cup of Chowder and Philly's Broad Street Hockey, will have lots of coverage and game threads. Hop along there or leave your wit here if you're looking to banter about.

Meanwhile: Rick DiPietro starts tonight for Bridgeport in Providence, and the Team USA Olympic team announcement happens at the end of this telecast.

Have fun. Ibuprofen helps hangovers.

Via the Rick DiPietro twitter feed. He says this should be his last Bridgeport start before he debuts for this season with the Islanders as long as nothing goes wrong.

Interesting with how Hot Roloson’s been. If the Islanders stay within striking distance of a playoff spot, how often do you put in DiP? At this point I trust Biron more then Dip, and I love Rollie.

Yes, I’m at the point of riding Rollie the whole way except for back-to-backs. Unless DiPietro finds some otherworldly form, I see any time he gets as prepping him for next year.

2011 Winter Classic

I was thinking of the possibility of the 2011 Classic being New Yankee Stadium, With the Rangers Vs Islanders. This all might not happen, but a few thoughts of what could be done…

All Time Islanders Vs All Time Rangers (before the game) and its an excuse to get Gretzky back on the ice. Finally see Mike Richter Vs Billy Smith. Mike Keenan behind the Ranger bench, Al Arbour behind the Islander bench. Throwback 80s Jerseys for the Isles and throwback 40s Jerseys for the Rangers.

For one of the periods, you could have the Rangers come out in a Yankee inspired uniform and the Isles in a Mets inspired uniform

Since its hosted by NBC anyway, they could wheel in a dunk tank for Mike Milbury.

I think this year they had Boston College play a game on the rink in Fenway. They could have the annual NYPD Vs NYFD Hockey Game the day before and broadcast it locally in NYC.

But of course this is me dreaming, and knowing how the NHL is they’ll probably make it two Original Six teams meaning Rangers Vs Habs without half the rivalry an Isles Rangers game would have.

Love this. NYPD-NYFD, and the old-timers would be great, like before the Edmonton-Montreal one a few years back. Milbury dunk tank: a must.

I’m sure the Isles will be passed over, even though it would be great and would actually have offense. Probably be Rangers-Capitals or something, dictated by NBC wanting two markets involved.

imagine if it was Rangers-Devils?

I think I’d cry.
