I got the blue ones with Owen Nolan and one with Peter Forsberg....
Can't spell sun without that Nordiques N logo or is it an igloo which has melted.
Salute to Tirico out there hatless day and night. I'm a chrome dome local. I can't do that.
Imagine a sports league commissioner declaring war on a star. We truly are living in the strangest timeline
Next time they need to play in the AM or the evening, maybe they learned? Maybe not. NBC coverage sucked anyway
Byron didn’t have the greatest game but I am not expecting him to as being 19 a rookie he will make some mistakes and for the most part I am 100 percent glad he is an av
I’d take more of these noon games over ESPN calling the NHL
The reverse retro dont due those sweaters justice in my eyes
Love your Simpson’s references!
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Colorado is the biggest fraud this season
In regards to bettman. I think that was the first time he came of like an actual human being and not a corproate speak robot.
Sucks that there were problems with the ice. Less Likely of a chance that they’ll be a Sharks & Knights game in Tahoe.
They need to do this for all the Winter classics! So beautiful! Tahoe, Whistler, Banff, there's plenty of excellent picturesque locations out there. Its kind of a no brainer.
This is technically the longest nhl game ever now.
He would spend 7 hours in the penalty box 🤣🤣🤣
Holy CRAP that Simpson's reference takes me back!
Go Avs!
I need the Nordiques letterman
I loved this wacky game eh. Go Avs!
What other things would the announcers use. Soda? Asking for a friend.
Anyone else notice the mascots underneath the cat stand?
Love that you seem to find some humour in most thing's
Oh, who hasn't played on slushy ice? I'm sure a few players were thinking of going on with it regardless.
I loved that Nordiques uniform!

They were some beautiful shots 🤩
Lets do a NYC Manhattan hockey game during a covid spell.....all the buildings lite up....that would be awesome......think about it fans.
I love your jokes man. Keep it up I loved the jacket Bednar had on
I turned it on around 6 thinking I might be able to catch some of the end, I was so confused lol my screen had “intermission in progress” for like half an hour
This game was all around just fantastic!
Question for Quebec and Hartford fans. What do you think about the teams moved away from your city now using old teams logos/jerseys? To me it seems in poor taste. Maybe it’s because of the St. Louis Rams move to LA. Also great breakdown as always Mr. Thehockeyguy
They didn't even put the final score on the NHL website.
The nhl need to stop doing winter classic in hot place the ice melts that winter classic not summer classic last year too the ice melts at dallas
can we tell the announcers "the window" is actually referred to as "the glass" fun game, fun broadcast, you...always FUN!
Thank you for the video!! Really enjoyed the game even though it resumed at 2 am where i live hahahaha im a new hockey fan and have never watched an outdoor game, so this was fantastic! Gorgeous location, great rivalry, endless intermission, and good game, even though i’m sad the knights lost and played kinda wacky. All in all a crazy game i wont forget for sure!
Eric Lindros would’ve refused to play this game.
Gary Bettman inner Monty Burns comes out.
A canopy over the ice would have worked over if Sun would be a problem in future outdoor game so we won't have any more problems with melting ice during hockey game.Just a thought.
Won't the SUN BE OUT on Sunday, also?? HAHAHAHA!
What's gonna happen with Sunday's game???
#GoNordiquesGo #GoNordiquesGo #GoNordiquesGo
As a Hawks fan, let me just say, thank the flying spaghetti monster that they weren't involved! We don't need the automatic "L" right now...
Shannon confirmed he enjoys writing erotic hockey fan fiction poems
At first I I didn't recognize the "N" logo, and then I remembered of course, the Nodicks!
Vegas-L Current Record: 136-112
It would be an amazing experience to play in this setting

Sorry Shannon I disagree with you on the NBC announcers. Tirico is ok at best They don't need Rutledge Wood. He is TERRIBLE and cringe. He dumbs down the product. When he is doing NBC NASCAR and IndyCar stuff the fans hate him.
I agree great overall production. Went with the flow and it was fun!
If ESPN gets the NHL, God help us. The games will be worst than they already are. If I watch the games the mute button will be on. Luckily I don't need it.
Oh God not espn unless it grows the game and Gary Thorne calls games
I miss Doc, he definitely can’t be replaced.
ESPN is the LAST company I wanted the nhl to have!
I think there should be a way to make this a once in blank time thing because I thought it went better then expected for what it was
The sun is a deadly laser
A couple thoughts: - Colorado's fourth line had 10 shots on goal - The glass on the side boards seemed a little shorter. 2 Delay of Game penalties and probably should have been a third. - Delay of Game penalty for a puck going out of play delays the game more than the actual act does
This is great hockey guy. Just being a regular run of the mill guy
I really hope we get some outdoor games in the north division
I couldnt find the second 1/2 Im in the central coast of California. NBCsn was showing sail boats and skiing.
Best game review ever! Such a crazy game. 9 hours between goals and an old man yelling at the sun. The precedent for strangest game ever has now been set. I admit to being a little bummed that ESPN may have the TV contract. That means watching hockey will get MUCH more expensive. No weekend games on NBC. And the NHL blackouts on Center Ice have gotten pretty ridiculous.
Thanks THG!
Fuck Carrier, what a goon.
I remember in NHL 2003, you could have goalies wear glasses. And Ron Tugnutt had them haha. Not sure if he ever tried that during an actual game, though. But yeah, with all the snow that gets sprayed, not the greatest idea.
Longest intermission in NHL history. Was a beautiful backdrop.
"The sun has always been our enemy" LOL
The game itself was great, the ice issues and 7 hour delay pretty much killed it for me. The NHL needs much better planning for there spectacles, Lake Tahoe was not the right venue, the high sun period is long there, hence Nevada being mostly desert. They should of had it in Washington state somewhere in the mountains. A nice Segway and intro for hockey before the kraken come in. Also if they kept the ice pure white other then ice markers and no logos. The ice would have less problems. I have skated on backyard and public park makeshift ice pads in high sun that had no melt issues. If regular Jill's and joes can build them in backyards and city park crews in parks. What is the NHL s excuse.
Those Coach jackets were awesome
my problem with the 2nd and 3rd wasn't the channel it was on... it was due to being at 5am here. great coverage for the first though and fun watching Sakic and MacKinnon taking the golf shots, although i got more of a laugh at the presenter trying the Happy Gilmour Respect :)
High hit? It was an elbow you doughnut
The coach's jackets are always awesome, and I loved Bylsma's hat a few years back to make it truly old school.
What's up withe frog on the board? Is this because they were wearing Nordiques jerseys?
11 hours to long
Wes was drinking something tonight with those no calls and some of those calls
You need a Mr Burns magnet to utilize when quoting Bettman.
These outdoor games are a Gimick now.. I hate it.
The NHL have always used the Outdoor Hockey Games as a Gimmick anyway..To get more people to watch their product.
bettman may be a vampire, then?
Yeah, it was pretty... but, man, Dallas was PERFECT for outdoor Hockey that day.
Go away Dallas
All respect the hypnotoad!
Confirmed: Bettman is a vampire.
ESPN really doesn’t have the personnel for hockey and for the last 20 years or so they’ve treated the NHL worse than nascar and high school football. It’s a desperation move made out of weakness and I don’t see this ending well if it is indeed ESPN.
@Anthony White they sucked at expanding the game the first time. And the younger demographic they cater too has short attention spans and for the game
@James Gentry true however they still have a huge market and huge audience. They aren’t where they used to be but they can still be extremely valuable for expanding the game
@Anthony White espn has lost tons of viewers. ESPN is nowhere near what it used to be. The only market they have is the woke crowd
I hope ESPN doesn't get it. They haven't cared about hockey since Disney (who owns ESPN) owned the Ducks. Plus today, ESPN is a joke anyway. If they got hockey, they'd probably only talk about Crosby and McDavid 100% of the time.
I remeber when NASCAR was NUMBER 2 in ratings only behind football.
If you want to see wild and wacky, just watch the second period between the habs and the leafs, last night.
go flyers
Funny how the sun was a problem for the goalies but the first period had 1 single goal, each period after dark averaged two goals. Fleury was just complaining.
That means the sun was twice as rough on Fleury at Midnight than it was mid day. Amazing
It's hilarious that they thought to put on production lights during a mid game day, I never seem ice so bad even for an outdoor rink
Now hockey fans know how NASCAR fans feel when there's a rain delay 😅
Neither goalie interference calls should have been called honestly.
Question: I started playing hockey at 5, been a huge fan of NHL hockey since I was about 9-10. It's been over 25 years of hockey love, but I've never stopped to ask: what the hell is a Nordique? A Northern Quebecois person, maybe? Genuine question.
I thought for the longest time that nordics logo was an elephant.
Next year's outdoor game...Death Valley 0_o
Hahaha
Nobody cared about this game when other teams winter series got canceled means bettman putting certain rich teams owners ahead of the least rich.
Beautiful Nordiques jersey you're wearing. I wish the Av's had worn that, with the white ice and white snow around, it would have looked so much better.
I just want the blackouts removed. I cant buy the nhl package and watch my team!!!
This event was a disaster. The outdoor games have officially "jumped ship".
@Chad Solivais None that I can think of and it still doesn't matter to me. The outdoor games are nothing but a gimmick. It's time to get back to NHL hockey.
Besides this game, what other outdoor games have been delayed significantly?
Most important thing is Vegas lost. Also, sunlight melts ice. You can say whatever you want but this was an embarrassment for the NHL which is a usual occurrence. Can't wait to watch the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and Bruins tonight.....those mountains should look great at night......
Why don't they do this in the Rockies in Canada?
Classic Review! Nice job.
Get GaryThorne an Bill Clement back together in the booth
The outdoor gimmick is dumb, and getting tired very quickly.
Sick jersey. Quebec and Hartford have/had the best jerseys in NHL history imo.
I took four things away from this game... First, I had to keep reminding myself this wasn't a Rangers vs Sens game. Second, I believed that we were going to go to 5 minute periods, with 2 hour intermissions. Third, Gary Bettman doesn't understand midday sun and ice, "the clouds are everywhere, except where the sun is shining." 😂 But, most definitely, best of all... DUSTY GOOCH!!! (Oh, man, that name became popular on Bilasport, quick...!) The announcers were unintentionally hilarious, the shit-show of filler was a travesty and far more entertaining than the first period of hockey... Except maybe for the moment when Fleury thought he was about to stop a puck, to the right of him and it hit him on the left side of his helmet. Beyond that, I'm glad I stuck with it, if only to see Colorado just sat down and chillin'. (And, that golf shot, though...) 🤣
