Stadium Series A Success
Over this weekend we saw an interesting experiment which seemed to go down very well with fans of the great sport of Hockey as we saw the Coors Light Stadium Series get under way with the Anaheim Ducks humiliating the LA Kings on their home turf as they won 3-0 win Dodger Stadium! Seems despite have Cee Lo Green among others as the warm up act, the Kings became yet another victim to the currently unstoppable Ducks side!
The New York Rangers tie against the New Jersey Devils at Yankee Stadium proved to a far more entertaining affair as the Broadway Blues came out on top 7-3, which included come back from 3-1 down mid way through the first period, but thanks to a first star performance from Mats Zuccarello they clawed their way back into contention.
Up next is the next New York instalment as the Ranger welcome fellow local rivals the New York Islanders on January 29th. But after that we have the potentially thrilling showdown between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Pittsburgh Penguins at Soldier Field on March 1st- this will most likely be a dress rehearsal (albeit in different jerseys) for the Stanley Cup Final!
My eyes however, will be firmly fixed on the Tim Horton's Heritage Classic on March 2nd, as the Vancouver Canucks take on the might of the Ottawa Senators at BC Place! Though the man who designed our horrible vintage maroon jersey, really should hang his head in shame at this choice.
Hopefully we will be making this event a yearly affair because the atmosphere and the action were hard to beat and also, why just limit stadium games to the Winter Classic!
