NHL Winter Classic - Rangers vs Flyers Game Thread
New York Rangers at Philadelphia Flyers, Jan 2, 2012 3:00 PM EST
No-frills today, so kick back and enjoy the league's Big Event, with a Panthercentric bias; game is on NBC, CBC & RDS. And for the over-21 crowd, PD has a few ideas on how to spice up the afternoon...

Ice crew can handle 56; it’s the possibility for rain that mucks up the entire affair
Litter Box Cats - Your tarp-free Florida Panthers Colossus
by Donny Rivette on Jan 2, 2012 3:35 PM EST up reply actions
The thing that I never understand is why they schedule the WC for noon, I mean there might be some residual cold spots from the morning, but by the third period the temp for the day is at its highest. It seemed like the only reason to have it at noon was because it was on New Years Day and there was nothing to do. But here we on Jan 2nd with a pushed back start time.
The only way they can have it in Denver without ice issues is if they have a 4-5 pm start time when the sun goes down. 60 degrees in January isnt unusual for us, but it really cools down when the sun goes down.
(But the NHL would never do it anyways)

The Quakers played in the 30-31 season. They were the Pittsburgh Pirates before that from 1925-30. For those that don’t know their early NHL history there were 10 teams at one time before the Great Depression and WWII reduced to it to the so called “original six” which is historically inaccurate.

RIP New York Americans
Litter Box Cats - Your tarp-free Florida Panthers Colossus

yep, last of the pre original six era teams to die. After WWII was over the NHL would not let them start up again despite agreeing to this when the franchise was suspended during the war. The Americans started life as the Hamilton Tigers and ended it as the Brooklyn Americans. The 30-31 was the last season of the ten team NHL as the Quakers folded. After a season as the St. Louis Eagles the original Ottawa Senators franchise folded in 1936 followed by the Montreal Maroons in 1938 and the Americans in 1942 getting us to the original six.
things were so bad for the NHL during the 30’s the Montreal Canadians almost moved to Cleveland of all places.

Not sure how new this is (definitely from today) but here ya go, re: Barch:
“You know what, he’s been around,” Weiss said after practice Monday. “Certainly we’ve chatted a bit. I’ll keep that stuff private. But he’s a veteran guy. He knows how to handle that type of stuff. No one’s feeling worse than him. He feels terrible about the misunderstanding, but he’ll get through it and we’ll help him get through it as a team.”

"To the people across Canada, we tried, we gave it our best, and to the people that boo us, geez, I’m really – all of us guys are really disheartened and we’re disillusioned and we’re disappointed at some of the people. We cannot believe the bad press we’ve got, the booing we’ve gotten in our own buildings…
I’m really disappointed. I am completely disappointed. I cannot believe it. Some of our guys are really, really down in the dumps. We know, we’re trying like hell. I mean, we’re doing the best we can and they got a good team and let’s face facts. But it doesn’t mean that we’re not giving it our 150 percent, because we certainly are…
Every one of us guys, 35 guys that came out and played for Team Canada, we did it because we love our country and not for any other reason, no other reason. They can throw the money for the pension fund out the window. They can throw anything they want out the window. We came because we love Canada. And even though we play in the United States and we earn money in the United States, Canada is still our home and that’s the only reason we come. And I don’t think it’s fair that we should be booed."
