The Official 2013-14 Regular Season Talk Thread

How do the alumni games at winter classic usually go? Leafs-Wings have 2 diff games, and my TV guide says the whole thing lasts 5 hours. Will it really take that long for all of it?

I think it's on CBC at 1:00pm. Both games back to back.

Man am I ever stoked for that second game. It sucks that Sundin is out, but the rosters for both teams make me all giddy. It's like a deranged legends team where the players are all a mixture of too old. Still, Sittler playing on the same team as Gilmour, Lanny McDonald, Tiger Williams, and Borje Salming!? Curtis Joseph and Felix Potvin in goal? Just like 1999, when Cujo signed, and basically screwed over Potvin's career! A nearly 60 year old Mike Palmateer playing goal against Stevie Y and Brendan Shanahan?

I hope Iafrate grew out his skullet for this one.

****ing Wings went all out on that second roster with guys that could still suit up. Heck, wasn't Fedorov just playing competitive pro hockey yesterday in the Spengler Cup? Detroit is probably just going to play Lidstrom and Rafalski for 30 minutes.

Yep, Fedorov is coach at CSKA Moscow and he played last few games, due to injuries in their team.

And I really hope, that there will be some stream to Europe, because I'd love to see at least second game, but our broadcasters just ignore hockey

Barry Trotz must have been coaching the boys with some NHL 14 Youtube videos, because Nick Spaling scored with the exact same move a few minutes later:

Looks like snow likely for tomorrow's Winter Classic!

May make the game a bit sloppy, but it'll be awesome to watch. Similar to the Eagles/Lions from a few weeks back. The actual play may suffer, but it won't matter much to us fans.

I somehow lucked into having today and tomorrow off, so I'm checking out the alumni game now. It's on NBCSN.

Don't get why people think Jagr should get less time. Sure, he's old, but he's producing at an incredible rate and it's not like Jersey has a budding Patrick Kane to give time to...

Looks like Al Montoya is about to steal the starting job in net from Ondrej Pavelec.

Love what Evander Kane did at the end of the game setting up Anthony Peluso for the empty netter instead of taking it himself.

Flyers absolutely jobbed in CGY for their second goal by Schenn in period 1.
