Being a baseball guy, I generally despise winter. But watching the Pens-Sabres game makes the cold look tolerable.

One observation – I haven’t seen the behind the goal nets that are required in arenas. Is this likely because of the distance between the fans and the rink?

It’s kind of hard to put up the protective mesh when there isn’t a ceiling to hang it from.

it was a distance thing not a no roof thing, the heritage classic in ‘03 has a net behind 1 end only because they put temp stands on one end. They just used 7 poles to hold it up.

The truth shall set you free. Not only was the original post the Post Of The Day winner, but James David Ryan disliked the “Chuck and Duck” offense. He was everyone’s Buddy in Philly in the late 1980’s.

quote comment=”196321″]great photo gallery here of the Winter Classic

Picture seven has a great view of Miller’s Mask

I was at the Winter Classic game. A couple thoughts…

The RBK Edge cut on the Sabres throwbacks looks horrible. The yellow around the shoulder blue is too thin- almost like piping. The shoulder blue is too large. And the worst is the bottom curved hem which looks terrible with horizontal bottom stripes. On a white jersey it gives the diaper look in the back.

On pics 11 and 13 in that gallery you can see the Sabres regular pants peeking out under the retro pants. Last year when they wore the blue retros they wore the regular, mismatched, pants.

Methinks the “retro” Penguins had the current font in corresponding colors. A bit odd, but it looked all right.

just on the off chance that any of you know:
ive looked high and low for a sweet nfl jacket (and i cant even find any photos of it) but i havent been able to find it online. its a white hoody sweatshirt/jacket with gray designs on it and the teams primary color stripe down the arm and the teams logo on the upper left chest. i see it quite often on the sidelines during games but cant find it. anyone know what its called or where i can find it? thanks in advance

These sound like what you are looking for. We saw one of these Sunday at Texans game. My sons thought it was pretty sharp looking.

That is so terrible!
I hope they never wore that

Um, the link shows a photo him wearing that in a game. And it says it’s from his rookie season.

Might want to read before you post…

I’m saying I have never seen it before and wanted to share it here, I wasn’t asking the story behind it. You might want to heed your own advice and read before typing, dickhead

Just to clarify, not to insult:

My comment was directed at the person who said “I hope they never wore that”, when it was clearly evident by the link that it was worn.

It was not directed to person who made the original post, because it seemed pretty obvious you hadn’t seen it before.

Then the person whose comment it directed to said “oops, my bad”, and it seemed kind of funny at that point.
