Isn't the urban legend that the Canucks got rid of the Flying Skate jerseys because the black made it hard to see the puck while it was up in the air with a bunch of bodies around

I think both teams could wear their dark jerseys under some circumstances, black and white has been replaced by HD. Like in a Boston v Toronto game, or Detroit v LA, nobody is going to confuse the two. Of course NYR v Montreal, or Pittsburgh v Boston would be bad. I find it easier to read the players body language when there is more contrast with the ice.


I like soccer uniform rules. Just have a primary jersey and a secondary jersey and you wear your primary both home and away as long as it doesn't conflict with the home team on away games.

I wonder if what the AHL is doing will catch on in the NHL. 1st half the season is white at home. Second half is dark.

I like colour rush because it makes it really easy to tell kids who they should be cheering for.

For example, they can always spot the flyers at the age of 2!

Only ships to Canada, drat it.

On the bodog talk, 10-1 is really high odds for the caps considering they've made it to the finals once, and were then swept.

They're not going to care about what happened 20 years ago. They have good odds because they have a bunch of talent on their team, a well respected coach and no team this year that's a clear favourite. The bodog odds seem pretty standard the whole way through.

There's a few teams in the NFL that can get away with colored pants with a colored jersey, and they're teams like Pittsburgh and Green Bay who wear two different colors. Monochrome football jerseys look like pajamas. You ever see the all purple jerseys the Vikings wear sometimes? They're loving hideous and I think purple is an awesome color

What would look better than the Rams wearing all yellow, would be them wearing yellow and blue like the old LA/Greatest Show on Turf era jerseys. That full body yellow is an eyesore



To keep this on topic: I saw a picture of the Predators with the yellow helmet and I don't think it's too bad, but it is kinda overkill. Yellow helmet is a cool idea though because more teams need to wear more unique colors. I'd be down the the yellow helmet with the white jerseys for sure.

My main complaint with uniforms in any sports is teams that pick colors that look stained when they get wet. Like the cowboys pants or the breezers that the wild wear.. it makes them look like filthy slobs.

Yeah I think I would prefer if they did yellow helmets on the road and blue at home.

Caps fans boo mite on ice who says he’s a Penguins fan

quote:

According to RMNB’s Elyse Bailey, the kid, who appeared to be no older than six-years-old, was asked by Adam Kelsey the usual questions like “did you hear everyone cheering for you?” and “you almost got a hat trick.” The child responded with one word answers. Then Kelsey asked the kid if he was excited about Caps hockey almost being back. The child passionately responded, “No.”
The next question is where things went completely off the rails. When asked who his favorite team was, the kid said “Penguins.” Most of the arena booed. The child seemed amused.

Between periods of a college game they had the had the kiddos playing. All the sudden the kids started squaring off, the goalies met at center ice, benches cleared. They were play fighting and had planned it, but it was still funny as gently caress.

Ebbets is near me and occasionally has sales, so I've got a few of their hockey sweaters (CCCP, Boston Olympics and Seattle Mets.) The quality is very good but there are a couple things to note. Being real wool, they can feel a bit scratchy, and they're hand-made to order in downtown Seattle, so depending on workload and availability of materials it could take upwards of a couple months to be completed.

If anything he could play for Albany. I really want Wedgewood to back up Schneider this year, but the problem is that a Schneider backup is similar to a Brodeur backup - you play 10-12 games a season, and for someone like Wedgewood, that would hinder his development in certain ways. But he had an incredible year and looked great in a short NHL stint. And Kinkaid is so meh.

I only know the Rangers players. Vesey will be playing, as well Buchnevich (their top prospect), some recent draft picks (Sean Day, Robin Kovac's) and some guys they picked up as UFA's (John Gilmore, Malte Stromwell)

Dallas, Carolina, Chicago, Minnesota, St. Louis, and Columbus also participate

e: Vesey and Buchnevich are expected to make the Rangers roster this year
