I am kind of over the whole WC idea. But at least the Hawks don't lose a home game this time around.</p>

Venue TBD.</p>

The aspect I'm excited about is seeing the Hawks on HBO's 24/7.

As long as McD doesn't veto trading camera-friendly guys like Versteeg or Bollig.</p>

24/7 I agree will be the best part. Outside of that, these games lost meaning to me last season after so many of them.

My favorite teams
A guy on another board suggested having it at the Reflecting Pool. Of course my twisted sense of humor loves that idea just because I'm a prick like that 
</p>
</p>
I do agree though, the gimmick is as dated as Miley Cyrus' twat.</p>
</p>
What the league should do IMHO is combine the winter classic with the all-star game.</p>

Best way to deal with it, really.

I might be the only one against the whole thing. Its more of a gimmick than the All-Star Game.
Being on camera is one of the most pressure packed things in the world, not to mention a filling of ego-boosting, and our team is going to be on it 24/7. I'd rather think about wins/losses... not thinking about which side is the best to show for the camera.
This bothers me a lot. </p>

While I don't disagree, these games are good for the league in general though. All these big time primetime games/special events create made for TV extravaganzas which are revenue boons for the TV contracts, which push their value up and thus helps keep the revenue of the league up and the salary cap going higher.</p>

Winter classics are Special person. Only good for the obnoxious season ticket holders to tell us how great they fucking are or for the bandwagon pricks to tell us how great they fucking are.</p>
</p>
End of the day they make for shitty hockey games. The fan experience is probably fantastic but the hockey fucking sucks. Always have shitty bands playing at the Winter Classic too. If it's for fan experience pay and get some real fucking bands. </p>

I'll be interested to see what Trotz does with the Caps and how Ovechkin responds to his new trap happy defensive minded coach. </p>

Maybe Trotz shys away from that style now that he actually had offensive players. Easy to go trap when you have no skilled players. Now that he does, wouldn't be surprised if he moves away from that a bit.

24/7 is a gimmick.</p>
</p>
The All-Star Game is a gimmick.</p>
</p>
An outdoor game is serious shit. Bandwagonners and elitists all watch from the stands ready to make judgments on the programs for a bit.</p>
</p>
I almost got frostbite that night taking pictures all over the place during the event, but I was there. It was my first ever outdoor game in my life. I never thought I'd get to experience anything like it. For someone being originally from Southern California, it was the experience of a lifetime. </p>

These guy have been in the spotlight...forever now. Being on camera is as ordinary as waking up and brushing your teeth for most of the Hawks. </p>
