Broad Street Hockey The Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins each entered the National Hockey League as expansion clubs in 1967, members of the so-called “Expansion Six” that also included the Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, Minnesota North Stars and California Golden Seals. As you may have noticed, 1967 plus 50 is 2017, and that’s just two short years away now. The Flyers and Penguins will play their 50th anniversary seasons in 2017-18 … so, what a perfect time for an outdoor game! The topic came up at Thursday’s Flyers Town Hall meeting, attended by season ticket holders.
God I hate Penn State. Always a wet fucking blanket. They love to tell you how they’re the third largest city on game days yet don’t want to host what could be an awesome game. Don’t even give me that hot garbage about damaging the field because it’s practically a science at this point.
Side note, hockey games in baseball stadiums is absolutely moronic. You get some cool pictures before the game and then the puck drops and its three periods of weird TV angles and I’m sure sitting there live is torture. I can not imagine spending a fortune on “good” seats only to find out you can’t see over the boards that are a mile away.
One day Penn State will come around and welcome The Winter Classic with open arms. At this point the best case is they follow the lead of their Big 10 breathern up north and go to the Winter Classic when their football team is a disaster and there’s no better product to fill the seats.
