need some expertise from you nhl guys and canadians.


how will the outdoors affect these teams?


do they play the regulation ice size or larger?

I think more nhl games should be held outside in future. too many damn southern teams now.

time to get to nhl's rusted roots and get back to earth.

This won't sound too sharp but to me just by feel and off the top of my head it favors the Caps just because the Pens are pretty much a 2 man team imo (OK include Letang if you want).
 
Right now the UNDER 5.5 looks like it might be the play, if ice conditions are poor (ie watery/slushy) then the flow of the game will be affected, plus there will be added stoppages (interruptions) in the game for maintenance and cleaning of the ice surface.

Making crisp "tape to tape" passes will be made more difficult because of bad ice.

PS: Fuck Tomato!
 
They have the game on NBC here in the US plommer. Was flipping through the channels.
Pavy I believe you are watching a replay of the game between Buffalo and Pitt, todays game was moved from an afternoon start to a night start due to mild weather.

I guess the scheduled TV time slot for the hockey game had to be filled with something.
 
Thanks plommer. Do you know if they will show the live game tonight with the Caps? I liked the snow falling when they were playing in Buffalo even though it was an old game.

I know for a fact 100% it will be on CBC in Canada, dunno about the US broadcast though.
 
Washington is 4-1 against Pitt in their last 5 meetings with 4 of those games going well OVER the total and 3 of them going extra time.

The weather is something that just can’t be predicted though. As Plommer said, if it is slow ice then obviously the UNDER would look like the correct play.
