1. Well, I hope they get more fans than they do for Marlins games

2. Great…now they can embarrass themselves outdoors. Ugh.

3. 

   Who gives a shit?

4. Downvoted. Sick of Florida even HAVING TEAMS. Not being able to beat them makes it worse.

5. It is 70 degrees in Miami today lol. How is this going to work.

6. Kiss the streak goodbye…

7. LFG outdoor game to get the boys correct!!

8. Fuck this stupid ass league.

9. The league trying to cash in on the NY migrants in Florida because they know the home teams can’t fill those stadiums by themselves.

   Meanwhile this team is a dumpster fire and doesn’t deserve an outdoor appearance for a while.

10. Oh. God. Please. No! This is just a shitty ratings grab by the floundering NHL.

11. We’re going to get dog walked.

12. STOP PLAYING HOCKEY GAMES ON BASEBALL FIELDS

    IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE

    WHY IS THIS LEAGUE SO STUPID

13. pros: love to see a new winter classic uni, i’ve loved all of ours

    cons: panthers are our kryptonite and game will be played in a shitty ballpark in one of the hottest/most humid states in the country

14. The game is a year out and it’s one single game. I thought I was a doomer but writing this game off as a loss at announcement is so sad.

15. We’re seriously gonna be playing an outdoor game when it’s 70 degrees out? Fucking why? Isn’t the point of the winter classic to be like pond hockey?

    The whole idea is just fucking stupid

16. A year is a long time from now everyone. We went from 1st place to bottom of the league in like 7 months counting the summer break, so anything is possible 😂

17. Me: I’ve got enough jerseys I’m not buying new ones just because they changed supplier

    Fanatics: The fuck you ain’t…

18. Close the roof and crank the ac

19. Maybe we’ll remember how to play hockey by then

20. The 2012 and 2018 Winter Classic jerseys are two of my favorites, so I’m excited about seeing a new one. I just don’t love that it’s in Florida against the Panthers. I mean, don’t they have better rivals?

21. And I thought it was going to be in the Sphere. Dolan wasn’t going to be onboard with a tear down anyway, and there’s no way the league allows for a repeat of the lack of competitiveness this year. Drury is retooling on the fly.

22. Nothing says winter like Miami

23. gonna be really awkward when the ice won’t stay frozen cause it’s like 65°-70°.

24. Florida is officially the state of hockey thanks Gary

25. Living in Central FL these days I’m stoked for this! LFGR!

26. As a hockey jersey collector …this is awesome

27. Me and my husband (that turned me into an NYR fan) got married on 12/31 so we’re thinking 1 year anniversary trip

28. Oh great. They’re facing a team they continously match up negatively against AND they get to play ice hockey outdoors in fucking Florida. Sounds like a grand old time for Rangers fans.

29. This is gonna be the shittiest viewing experience live, did they see how big loan depot park is lmaooo

30. Don’t really get why it’s in Florida, but especially don’t get why the rangers are playing them (not that I’m against it) it’ll be interesting

31. Not on new-year day again

32. *yawn* I think the Winter Classic has officially Jumped the Shark.

    In other words, this is the nail in the coffin for this event. I’m still gonna watch from home. I already spent too much money at the last outdoor game and I want to go to the ASG at USB arena in Long Island in 2026.

    Yes I said in long island and USB. idgaf.

33. I hear the game will be hosted in He’ll after they win the cup
