Detroit Red Wings & the NHL

[Ghengis Jon]

I suppose it makes a difference in repair difficulty if its a cut versus a tear. He's got the "Heidelburg Dueling Scar" of the NHL going.

Cage is the way to go at any rate.

This is more fighting than Gretzky or Mario had over the course of their careers

[Rob F]

any forumites at the Big House today?

[lineygoblue]

Why did I think that this was a college hockey/NHL double header?

[Tony G]

well it was sort of. The GLI was in comerica along with an OHL game and the alumni game.

[lineygoblue]

Ah.. ok. For some reason I thought that U-M Hockey was going to be playing some sort of under card game and then the Red Wings were playing after that.

No matter though. I've been watching. Looks like a great crowd for a cold day, and a holiday to boot.

I'd like to see more outdoor regular season hockey. It seems more natural for them to be playing outdoors.

[Mike]

There will be two more games in late January, Liney. Ducks-Kings at Dodger Stadium and Devils -Rangers at Yankee Stadium.

[Tony G]

Ducks-Kings at Dodger Stadium

call in an air force strike on this abomination

[Mike]

Haha.

[lineygoblue]

How are they going to get ice to stay frozen at Dodger Stadium? Have they invented artificial ice or something?

I agree with Tony.

[Mike]

How are they going to get ice to stay frozen at Dodger Stadium? Have they invented artificial ice or something?

Actually, yes. It's been around for about 70 years. You just put a refridgeration system below the ice surface.

[lineygoblue]

And with LA temperatures at game time likely to be in the mid 60's, to lower 70's, it will still stay frozen?

This I need to see.

When we used to skate on Fridays and Saturdays at Ballenger Park in Flint, even though the rink had a refrigeration system under the ice, the ice would start melting when the air temps got around 40 degrees.

I don't see how they'll be able to keep it frozen with temperatures in the 60's and maybe 70's.
